This is a serious development in many countries. Singapore is not exempted. If the trend is not corrected, which I doubt, there will be grave consequences.

In the first of CNA Women’s series of stories on painful sex, we look at the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction in Singapore and how this can worsen the country’s declining birth rate.

Nearly 60 per cent of the Singapore women surveyed in a first-of-its-kind study led by KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) experienced low sexual function – an indicator that they were at risk of developing sexual dysfunction.

These women were also less likely to try to conceive and would take a longer time to get pregnant, the hospital said.

 

The study, conducted in June this year, examined more than 500 women in Singapore who were in the reproductive age group – between 18 and 45 years – and were attempting to conceive within the year. 

The women were instructed to rate their personal sexual experiences in six areas: Desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain. Each question provided a score from zero to five, whose sum yielded a total score ranging from two to 30. 

The researchers said that those with total scores at or below the median value of 22 were determined to have low sexual function, and said to be at risk of sexual dysfunction – defined as having persistent recurrent problems during sex, including pain.

As part of the study, the women were also interviewed on their personal details including age, ethnicity and marital status, pregnancy history and lifestyle habits, and had their physical activity and mental health assessed.

They were then provided with home pregnancy tests and were followed up with for up to one year as they attempted to conceive.

Results showed that 58.6 per cent of Asian women in Singapore displayed scores of less than 22, suggesting they’re at risk of female sexual dysfunction. 

 

Among the six items of sexual disorders examined, low sexual desire and rarely reaching orgasm were more commonly reported in these women, the study revealed.

The study also found that compared to women with high sexual function, those with low sexual function saw their chances of conceiving within the year drop by 27 per cent.  

This drop can be attributed to these women having less sex due to “unpleasant sexual experience and difficulties with intimacy”, said researchers.

Psychological distress can also trigger hormonal imbalance, interfering with ovulation and thus delaying pregnancy, they added.

“A SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM”

 

The study came amid an increase in Singapore in the reported rate of female sexual dysfunction – a phenomenon that has also been observed globally.

It affects many women in the reproductive age group, with more than 40 per cent suffering from it across the world, making it a “significant public health problem”, the study noted. 

KKH said that in the last three years, its Sexual Health Clinic has been managing an average of 90 new cases of the condition annually. 

The most common form of female sexual dysfunction is vaginismus, said the hospital.
