Objective: To determine the prevalence and characterisation of sexual dysfunctions in a population of sexually active women with ages ranging between 18 and 72 years, in 12 Colombian cities.Materials and methods: Descriptive crosssectional study that included women 18 years of age and older, sexually active within the past six weeks, living in Colombia. Excluded were illiterate and pregnant women, women in the first 6 months postpartum, women with a psychiatric disease or neurological deficit, and women with a history of cancer. The study was conducted in healthcare centres in twelve cities (Bogota, Medellin, Cali, Barranquilla, Cartagena, Cucuta, Ibague, Bucaramanga, Villavicencio, Pereira, Manizales and Armenia) between June 2009 and December 2016. A consecutive sampling method was used. The “Female Sexual Function Index” validated in Spanish was applied. Sociodemographic variables, a history of sexual and reproductive health, sexual behaviour, and frequency of overall sexual dysfunction and by type of dysfunction assessed were measured. A descriptive analysis of the data was performed using absolute and relative measurements. A stratified description was made by age under or over 40 years.Results: Of a total of 72,894 candidates for enrolment, 50,991 (69,95%) were ultimate analysed. Mean age was 30.9±10.8 years. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction in the study group was 32.97% (16,812 women). The score on the FSFI in the affected women was 24.07±6.18 points. Issues were found with libido in 32.97%, orgasm in 21.93%, arousal in 16,86%, lubrication in 14,79%, and pain in 7.56%. Median sexual dysfunction per woman was 2, found in 64.16%.Conclusion: Among Colombian women, a prevalence of sexual dysfunction is found in close to one-third of the population, characterised mainly by issues with libido and orgasm. Interventions are required in order to establish an immediate diagnostic and therapeutic plan.
