Premenstrual Syndrome and Female Sexual Function.

PURPOSE To examine the relationship between Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and female sexual function (FSF) with the luteal (LP) and follicular phases (FP). METHOD We performed a cross-sectional survey using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire in the LP and FP. We used the Brazilian's version of the Premenstrual Symptoms Screen Tool (PSST) and the Daily Record of Severity of Problems (DRSP) for diagnosis of PMS. RESULTS There was no difference in the FSF between groups in both cycle phases. We found an association between LP and worst scores on FSFI. CONCLUSION PMS does not affect FSF.
