Reduction of hormones produce problems such as vaginal dryness, vaginal and vulvar tissue thinning, loss of elasticity of the vagina, hot flashes and other problems.

In order to achieve better results, questionnaires were distributed among 126 healthy subjects that matched our patient group in terms of age and other factors and were used as the control group. Female sexual function index (FSFI) questionnaire was filled out by an independent interviewer and all medical, personal and social ethics were applied. The data was then gathered and the score were analyzed with statistical tests.Results: The study was performed on patients 20 to 50 years, mainly in patients aged 35 to 45 years (51.8%). The average age was 41.44±5.87 years. In our study, the most dysfunction was in sexual desire (57.6%), vaginal moisture (53.1%), sexual excitement (48.2%), orgasm (44.1%), and dyspareunia (52.2%) in breast cancer patients. There was significant difference between two group (P<0.001).There is no difference about SEXUAL SATISFACTION between two groups (P=0.262).Conclusion: Sexual dysfunction is common in breast cancer patients compared to healthy women.
