The objective of this observational study is to investigate the potential influence of anorexia nervosa on the sexual health of women. The primary focus is to determine the presence of sexual dysfunction in individuals with anorexia nervosa and explore any potential correlation between eating disorders and sexual dysfunction. To facilitate comparison, data from a control group comprising healthy women is incorporated alongside the clinical group data.
numerous studies indicate that women diagnosed with anorexia nervosa experience a discernible impact on their sexual well-being, often accompanied by symptoms of sexual dysfunction (SD). Such dysfunction may manifest as a diminished libido, reduced sexual desire, and challenges in achieving orgasm
