BACKGROUND: The beginning of 2020 was characterized by the COVID-19 pandemic. The
world governments have adopted restrictive measures to reduce the spread of
infection. These measures could affect the sexual function and quality of life of
women living with their partner. AIM: The aim is to assess the impact of the
social distancing measures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on sexual function and
quality of life of noninfected reproductive-age women, living with their sexual
partner. METHODS: Observational analysis on sexually active women, living with
their partner, and without COVID-19 infection was performed. The population
previously answered FSFI, FSDS, and SF-36 questionnaires. 4 weeks after the
introduction of the restrictive measures, these women were invited to complete
the same questionnaires by e-mail for an evaluation during the COVID-19 outbreak.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary endpoint was the assessment of the women's sex
function change during the social restriction period, by analyzing the FSFI and
FSDS questionnaires. The secondary endpoint was the evaluation of the impact on
the quality of life calculated by the SF-36 questionnaire. RESULTS: 89 patients
were considered. The median age was 39 (28-50) years. Mean sexual
intercourses/month decreased from 6.3 ± 1.9 to 2.3 ± 1.8, mean
difference: -3.9 ± 1.2. FSFI decreased significantly (29.2 ± 4.2 vs 19.2 ± 3.3,
mean difference: -9.7 ± 2.6) and FSDS increased significantly (9.3 ± 5.5 vs
20.1 ± 5.2, mean difference: 10.8 ± 3.4). The SF-36 showed a significant change
from 82.2 ± 10.2 to 64.2 ± 11.8 4 weeks after the introduction of the restrictive
measures; mean difference: -17.8 ± 6.7. The univariable analysis identified
working outside the home, university educational level, and parity ?1 as
predictive factors of lower FSFI. In multivariable analysis, working outside the
home and combination of working outside the home + university educational
level + parity ?1 were the independent factors of a lower FSFI. CLINICAL
IMPLICATION: The negative impact of the COVID-19 epidemic period on sexual
function and quality of life in women shows how acute stress might affect the
psychological state. Thus, psychological or sexual support could be useful.
STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS: To our knowledge, this study is the first that
analyzes the change in sexual activity in women during the COVID-19 outbreak
period. The limitations were the low number of the analyzed participants,
psychological tests were not included, and no data were collected on
masturbation, self-heroism, solitary, and nonpenetrative sex. CONCLUSION: The
COVID-19 epidemic and the restrictive social distancing measures have negatively
influenced the sexual function and quality of life in not-infected
reproductive-age women who live with their sexual partners. Schiavi MC, Spina V,
