The diagnosis of premature ovarian failure is traumatic to women, with loss of gonadal functions having been associated with distress and anxiety. The aim of this study is to evaluate the sexual function and distress of women with premature ovarian failure before the diagnosis. Women with premature ovarian failure and age-matched controls were evaluated through the Female Sexual Function Index and the Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised, and their androgen levels were compared. The major finding of this study is the lack of difference between sexual function in women who are unaware that they have premature ovarian failure and age-matched women with normal gonadal function.
