Female sexual function index (FSFI) scores decline during twin pregnancy, with the lowest scores in the third trimester. Residence in urban areas correlated with higher FSFI scores compared to rural settings.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Health
- Obstetrics
- Sexual Medicine
Background:
- Twin pregnancies occur in approximately 1 in 80 deliveries.
- Sexual function during multiple pregnancies is an under-researched area.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate changes in female sexual function throughout twin pregnancy.
- To explore factors influencing sexual function in women with twin pregnancies.
Main Methods:
- A prospective study involving 100 women experiencing twin pregnancies.
- Assessment of female sexual function using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) across trimesters.
Main Results:
- The mean FSFI score decreased from the first trimester (25.6) to the third trimester (22.6 ± 8.4).
- Women residing in small and medium towns/cities reported higher FSFI scores than those in rural areas.
- Overall mean FSFI was 24.3 ± 6.1.
Conclusions:
- Female sexual function, as measured by FSFI, declines progressively during twin pregnancy.
- Geographic location significantly impacts sexual function scores in women with twin pregnancies.
