METHODS: A total of 100 women were included if they were aged 18-45 years, had genital warts (GWs) for at least three months, and were in a stable marital relationship for at least six months. All participants completed the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaires. RESULTS: Showed that the lowest mean scores were observed in the domains of orgasm (1.91 ± 1.07), arousal (2.82 ± 1.12), satisfaction (3.01 ± 1.01), pain (3.11 ± 1.34), desire (3.37 ± 1.01), and lubrication (3.64 ± 1.32). Total FSFI score was 17.64 ± 6.15. The presence of GWs had a significant very large impact on patients QOL in 49% of participants (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Results demonstrated sexual and quality of life affection among females complaining of genital warts. Sexual health and dysfunction should be routinely assessed in women presenting with genital warts.
