Objective: Despite the high prevalance of female sexual dysfuntion in our population, its etiology and treatment strategies are rarely studied. The factors which probably affect the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) score are investigated in order to give insight to this frequently seen pathology. Material and Methods: The study was carried out on 50 sexually active female patients with existing partners who admitted to University of Health Sciences Ankara Health Research and Training Center Obstetrics and Gynecology and Urology Outpatient Clinics. The validated Turkish FSFI form was completed under the supervision of a nurse based on the principle of volunteerism. Results: Training and Research Hospital Obstetrics and Gynecology and Urology Outpatient Clinics. Results: The mean age of the patients was 41.4±12.51 years. The patients were grouped according to age, existing comorbidity, being in the menopausal period, educational level and economical status. The FSFI scores were significantly lower in higher age, existing comorbidity and menopausal group. No differences were detected between the different levels of education and economic status. Conclusion: Being elderly, being in menopausal status and having pathologies such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiac diseases have a negative effect on female sexuality.
