Association of body mass index on sexual function in women with endometriosis: A cross-sectional study
BMI is significantly correlated with sexual function in women with endometriosis, with both low and high BMI negatively correlating FSFI scores. The association was stronger in women with a higher symptom burden. These findings highlight the need for a multidisciplinary approach integrating metabolic, hormonal, and psychological interventions to improve sexual health among women with endometriosis. Further longitudinal research is needed to explore causality and potential interventions.
