介绍。瑜伽是一种流行的补充和替代疗法。发展中国家和发达国家都有这种做法。女性性功能障碍是常见的，但并不总是得到足够的临床关注。治疗女性性功能障碍的药物疗法是可用的，但存在依从性差、疗效低和副作用等缺点。许多患者和瑜伽倡导者声称，瑜伽对改善性功能和治疗性功能障碍很有用。目的：探讨瑜伽对女性性功能的影响。我们招募了40名女性（年龄在22-55岁之间，平均年龄34.7 +/- 8.49岁），她们参加了一个瑜伽训练营，并在12周的瑜伽课程前后给予了一份名为女性性功能指数（FSFI）的标准化问卷。主要结果测量。FSFI scores.Results。研究发现，在完成瑜伽课程后；性功能评分显著提高（P < 0.0001）。改善发生在FSFI的所有六个领域（即欲望、觉醒、润滑、性高潮、满足和疼痛）。与年龄< 45岁的年轻女性相比，老年女性（50 ~ 45岁）的改善更大。根据FSFI的研究，瑜伽似乎是一种有效的方法，可以改善女性所有领域的性功能。Dhikav, Karmarkar G, Gupta R, Verma M, Gupta R， Gupta S和Anand KS。瑜伽对女性性功能的影响。性医学杂志2010；7:964-970。
Introduction. Yoga is a popular form of complementary and alternative therapy. It is practiced both in developing and developed countries. Female sexual dysfunctions are common and do not always get adequate clinical attention. Pharmacotherapies for treating female sexual dysfunctions are available but suffer from drawbacks such as poor compliance, low efficacy, and side effects. Many patients and yoga protagonists claim that it is useful in improving sexual functions and treating sexual disorders.Aim. To establish the effect yoga can have on female sexual functions.Methods. We recruited 40 females (age range 22-55 years, average age 34.7 +/- 8.49 years) who were enrolled in a yoga camp and were given a standardized questionnaire named Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) before and after the 12 weeks session of yoga.Main Outcome Measures. FSFI scores.Results. It was found that after the completion of yoga sessions; the sexual functions scores were significantly improved (P < 0.0001). The improvement occurred in all six domains of FSFI (i.e., desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain). The improvement was more in older women (age > 45 years) compared with younger women (age < 45 years).Conclusions. Yoga appears to be an effective method of improving all domains of sexual functions in women as studied by FSFI. Dhikav V, Karmarkar G, Gupta R, Verma M, Gupta R, Gupta S, and Anand KS.
