Little is known about sexual function in women with amyloidosis, Guillain\u2013Barr\u00e9 syndrome, or porphyria. Even for the world's most common peripheral polyneuropathies such as diabetes mellitus, knowledge and consensus are still lacking. Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) is the most common cause of genetic systemic amyloidosis, with neurological clinical manifestations similar to diabetes mellitus. Until today, no study on the sexual function of these young female patients has been published.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To evaluate FSD in female FAP patients and to compare the results with those of healthy, non-FAP females.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A questionnaire-based, observational study comprising 94 nonmenopausal women with a sexual partner (51 FAP and 43 non-FAP as the control group) was conducted.

Of all the FAP patients, 39.2% reported problems with desire (95% CI 25.6\u201352.4), 72.5% reported problems with arousal (95% CI 60.2\u201384.8), 68% reported lubrication problems (95% CI 55.1\u201380.9), 62% reported orgasm problems (95% CI 48.5\u201375.5), 39.2% experienced pain (95% CI, 25.8\u201352.6), and 49% experienced sexual dissatisfaction (95% CI, 35.3\u201362.7).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Even after multiple logistic regression analysis, FAP is associated with sexual dysfunction in women (OR 4.3, 95% CI 1.2\u201315.5, P &amp;lt; 0.03), and the affected domains are desire (OR 5.1, 95% CI 1.3\u201319.7, P &amp;lt; 0.02), arousal (OR 4.7, 95% CI 1.5\u201314.1, P &amp;lt; 0.007), orgasm (OR 5, 95% CI 1.6\u201316, P &amp;lt; 0.007), and sexual satisfaction (OR 4.8, 95% CI 1.4\u201316.9, P &amp;lt; 0.02). Only the use of medication with potential for sexual dysfunction was found as a significant predictor of orgasm disorder (OR 4.2, 95% CI 1.1\u201315.6, P &amp;lt; 0.03), as did age for sexual
