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.

Abstract

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.
