The Sexual Satisfaction Level and Related Factors in Infertile Couples with Female Infertility
Having a child is the strongest desire in the world, and failure in it can be associated with stress, reduced interpersonal and social relationships, sexual dissatisfaction, and ultimately the breakdown of married life. The aim of this study was to evaluate sexual satisfaction and related factors in infertile couples with female infertility.
This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 103 infertile couples (206 patients) referred to the infertility center of Tehran, Iran. The Data were collected by two questionnaires including demographic questionnaires and Larsons Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire.
The total score of Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire was 75.00 (low sexual satisfaction) for infertile women, and 79.92 (moderate sexual satisfaction) for their husbands. Infertile women had significantly less sexual satisfaction than their husbands (P < 0.001). Women's sexual satisfaction had a statistically significant relationship with their education level, age of referral to infertility center, and infertility history (P < 0.001); and sexual satisfaction of infertile women's husbands had a statistically significant relationship with duration of infertility and age of marriage of women (P < 0.001).
The present study showed that infertile women had low sexual satisfaction, and their husbands had moderate sexual satisfaction. The sexual satisfaction of infertile women was significantly lower than their husbands, which requires special attention.
