The mean patient age was 34.5 \u00b1 4.4 years, mean weight was 65.6 \u00b1 12.4 kg, mean height was 163 \u00b1 0.6 cm, and mean body mass index (BMI) was 24.8 \u00b1 4.3 kg\/m2. We classified the methods that medical residents used to assess the sexual frequency of these women as a numerical method, by categorization, or none (no assessment). A total of 26.7% (n = 166) of the SGRs did not assess female sexual function and 26.2% (n = 163) made assessments using categorization. SGRs who used a numerical method rather than categorization to classify the sexual frequency of their female patients were more likely to record answers to other questions on sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>SGRs typically do not assess female sexual function in infertile couples.
