Pages

  60-64

Abstract

 Background: Sexual Self-Concept has a considerable impact on mental and Sexual Health. However, the relationship between sexual Self-Concept and inFertility is unknown. This study aimed to compare sexual Self-Concept between fertile and infertile women. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 250 fertile and 250 infertile women who had referred to 9 health centers affiliated to Medical universities in Tehran and Royan inFertility treatment clinics in Tehran, Iran in 2017. Sexual Self-Concept was measured using the Multidimensional Sexual Self-Concept Questionnaire (MSSCQ) consisting of 20 subscales. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was performed to compare sexual Self-Concept between the two groups. Results: The mean age of fertile and infertile women was 34 ± 5. 62 and 29. 74 ± 5. 29 years, respectively. The highest score in both groups was for the sexual self-schemata subscale (mean score for fertile=3. 21 ± 0. 68 and for infertile= 3. 42 ± 0. 62). The lowest score was for sexual-depression subscale (mean score for fertile=0. 59 ± 0. 81 and for infertile=0. 61 ± 0. 76). After adjustment for the age of each subject, the husband's age, duration of marriage, and women’ s education, we analyzed the sexual-satisfaction, the power-other sexual control, and the fear-of-sex subscales, which were found to be significantly lower in infertile women (P<0. 05). No other significant differences between the fertile and infertile groups were observed. Conclusion: We observed significant differences between fertile and infertile women in terms of sexual-satisfaction, the power-other sexual control, and the fear-of-sex, but not in other sexual Self-Concept subscales. These findings suggest that there is need to improve sexual Self-Concept among both fertile and infertile women. Indeed implementation of educational and counseling programs by reproductive health specialists might play an important role in enhancing sexual Self-Concept among these populations.
