The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) were administered to female patients 3 months before and after the treatment. In addition, the sexual function of male partners was assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) 3 months before and after the treatment. A 5-question questionnaire inquiring about pleasure status, scored on a 4-point Likert scale, was administered to the male partners.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The posttreatment STAI-State and STAI-Trait scores of the female patients were statistically significantly lower than their pretreatment scores (52.5 vs 32, P &amp;lt; .001; 56 vs 44, P &amp;lt; .001, respectively).
