Summary
Introduction. The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) is considered to be an excellent tool for assessing female sexuality and screening for sexual dysfunctions in women.
Aim. An attempt was made to demonstrate the desirability of using the FSFI questionnaire in gynaecological and general practice.
Materials and methods. The study included 147 mature women (18 to 63 years of age) who reported for preventive gynaecological examinations and agreed to answer questions about their sexuality in the form of an anonymous FSFI questionnaire. Before proceeding with the questionnaire, the patients were asked, as part of an expanded medical history, if they received sexual education in their subjective assessment.
Results. The average FSFI scores for all domains and the FSFI total score were higher in women with basic sex education compared to women who received no such education.
Conclusions. Regardless of the issue of sex education, the important aspect of gynaecological counselling is the sexological aspect – it is also important in the general practice. This sphere still seems to be a taboo subject in many patients. The usefulness of the IFSK questionnaire for assessing female sexuality and the factors influencing it was confirmed.
