Here sexual functioning was studied in 329 women with infertility and 722 women who underwent an outpatient gynecological examination via a clinical interview and the Female Sexual Function Index FSFI . The results showed that in 24.01 of women with infertility the total FSFI score correlated with the presence of clinically relevant disorders.
