Study Overview

Detailed Description

With identifying a new type of coronavirus, the infection disease known as Coronavirus disease-2019 (Covid-19) is still effective worldwide. Within the frame of the description that the health is "a complete physical, mental and social welfare," many physical and mental modality may be expected due to the pandemic and the measures against pandemic. Among them, sexual health is one of the basic indicative factors of human welfare. There are few data on sexual dysfunctions from the previous clinic pandemic experiences. From the very early stages of Covid-19 pandemic, health systems and researches focused on mortalities and short-term morbidities. Although there are similar studies about effects of pandemic on sexual behaviors of general community, there is no comparative study about the effects on sexual functions of women survived from Covid-19 and women having no Covid-19 history, yet. This study aims to compare women survived from Covid-19 and women having no Covid-19 history and having similar characteristics in terms of sexual dysfunctions.
