    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Sexual Health
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Sterility treatments are common among married women.
    • Age at menarche is a key indicator of reproductive development.
    • Sexual function can be influenced by various physiological factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between age at menarche and orgasm frequency during coitus.
    • To determine if later menarche correlates with sexual dissatisfaction or reduced orgasm frequency.

    Main Methods:

    • Cross-sectional study involving 1,756 gynecological patients married for at least one year.
    • Statistical analysis to assess the correlation between age at menarche and orgasm frequency.
    • Categorization of participants based on orgasm frequency and sexual satisfaction.

    Main Results:

    • A significant correlation was found between age at menarche and orgasm frequency (r = -0.878 for orgastic women).
    • Patients with rare/no orgasm (r = +0.914) and sexual dissatisfaction (r = +0.722) showed increased correlation with later menarche.
    • The percentage of orgastic women decreased as age at menarche advanced.

    Conclusions:

    • Later age at menarche is associated with a higher incidence of rare or no orgasm during coitus.
    • Advancing age at menarche correlates with increased sexual dissatisfaction.
    • These findings suggest a potential link between reproductive timing and female sexual function.
