Contributing factors seem to be obesity, alopecia, hirsutism, acne, infertility, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. In women with PCOS clinical and\/or biochemical hyperandrogenism is common; its relationship with sexualfunction is, however, inconclusive.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This observational prospective case control study with 135 women (68 PCOS, 67 control) was conductedfrom March 2017 until March 2020.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>PARTICIPANTS\/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Heterosexual women with and without PCOS, aged 18\u201340\u2009years, in a steady relationshipand without any comorbidities, underwent an extensive medical and endocrine screening using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and validated sexual function questionnaires.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Women with PCOS reported significantly lower sexual function (Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001, partial \u03b72 = 0.104), higher levels of sexual distress (Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001, partial \u03b72 = 0.090), and they more often complied with the definition of sexual dysfunction (41.2% vs 11.9%, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001, Phi V\u2009=\u20090.331) and clinical sexual distress (51.5% vs 19.4%, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001, Phi V\u2009=\u20090.335). Regression analysis adjusted for confounders showed only few and weak associations between androgen levels and sexual function, with each model explaining a maximum of 15% sexual function. Following significant Group \u00d7 Hormone interactions, analyses for both groups separately showed no significant associations in the PCOS group. The control group showed only weak negative associations between testosterone and FSFI pain (\u03b2 = \u22126.022, P\u2009=\u20090.044, Adj R2 = 0.050), between FAI and FSFI orgasm (\u03b2 = \u22123.360, P\u2009=\u20090.023, Adj R2 = 0.049) and between androstenedione and clinical sexual distress (\u03b2 = \u22127.293, P\u2009=\u20090.036, exp(\u03b2) = 0.001).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The focus of the study on sexual functioning potentially creates selection bias. Possibly women with more severe sexual disturbances did or did not choose to participate. Differences between women with PCOS and controls in relationship duration and hormonal contraceptive use might have skewed the sexual function outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Sexual function is impaired in women with PCOS. However, endocrine perturbations seem to have minimal direct impact on sexual function. Addressing sexuality and offering psychosexual counseling is important in the clinical care for women with PCOS.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>STUDY FUNDING\/COMPETING INTEREST(S)<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study was funded by the departments of the participating centers: Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands; Department of Psychosomatic OBGYN and Sexology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands; and Department of Sexology and Psychosomatic OBGYN, Amsterdam University Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
