Study Population

From February 2018 to September 2019. For each participant, detailed medical history was obtained, including age, body mass index (BMI), education and income level, presence of comorbidities and the number of previous deliveries. Other details noted were menstrual status of patients, frequency of sexual intercourse and desire for fertility. All patients were asked to fill out the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) form. Patients' data were recorded in the electronic data system, prospectively. To identify the effect of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on female sexual behavior, the investigators conducted an observational study to compare the frequency of sexual intercourse, desire for fertility, FSFI score, contraception type and presence of vaginal infection between pandemic era (March 11th and April 12th 2020) and 6-12 months prior to the pandemic.
