Resumo

Introduction: Infertility, besides being a medical condition that deserves medical attention and treatment, is a disturbing development, with implications on various aspects of life of infertile couples and individuals (personal, relational, social and sexual). The impact of infertility on women's sexuality is not entirely clear. Studies that have investigated the topic reported contradictory results and methodological limitation. Objectives: • Review important aspects of female sexual function, including, in Brazil the prevalence, diagnosis and treatment. • Establish the risk of female sexual dysfunction in infertile couples. • Determine the prevalence of sexual dysfunction among infertile and fertile women and among women undergoing the techniques of low and high complexity. • Compare the dysfunctions in fertile and infertile women and in women subjected to low and high technical complexity. Methods: A literature review article, constructed from research on PubMed/Medline and SciELO databases between 1985 and 2012 was drafted. Then an original article where a study of the case-control was developed with 278 infertile participants met at the Laboratory of Huma n Reproduction, Hospital das Clínicas and fertile patients recruited at the Clinic of Gynecology in the same hospital, from March 2012 to September 2013. The case group consisted of 92 women with sexual dysfunction and a control group of 186 women without sexual dysfunction. The questionnaire Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) Portuguese version, which assesses the domains desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain, was used. Data were collected through interviews after signing the WIC. Two controls per case were randomly selected. The odds ratio (OR) was calculated for chance of female sexual dysfunction in infertile couples (p ≤ 0.05). Results: In the literature, it is observed that female sexual dysfunction have a multifactorial etiology, prevalence ranged from 35.9 % to 49.0 % and is rarely studied in the Brazilian population. Infertile and fertile women have the same chance for sexual dysfunction (OR = 1.45, 95% CI 0.86 to 2.44, p = 0.20). The prevalence of sexual dysfunction in infertile women was 36.31 %, and the fertile women was 28.18 %. In women undergoing low technical complexity prevalence was 38.88 %, 34.37 % and high complexity. Desire and arousal were significantly lower in infertile women. No significant differences were observed in relation to sexual dysfunction in women subjected to the techniques of low and high complexity. Conclusions: The risk of infertile women experiencing sexual dysfunction is the same fertile women. There was no statistical difference regarding the prevalence in infertile women compared to fertile, and women undergoing fertilization of low complexity when compared to high complexity. The desire and arousal domains were the most affected in infertile women. No differences were observed in the areas in relation to the techniques of low and high complexity.
