Sexual problems in women are highly prevalent and are often associated with personal discomfort, leading to worsening quality of life. Sexual dysfunction is defined by the lack of sexual response and / or discomfort / pain, interfering in some stage of the event (desire, excitement and / or orgasm), which can cause blockages and trauma. Among women, sexual dysfunction becomes even more relevant because it is rarely explained during consultations, making it difficult to diagnose and treat. Thus, the objective of the present study was to know the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in women users of the Women's Ambulatory of Santa Casa de Misericórdia do Pará, correlating it with relevant sociodemographic characteristics. For that, 186 women were collected through two questionnaires, one exclusively for this research, containing sociodemographic data (age, schooling, marital status, cohabitation age, family income, satisfaction with sexual life And report of sexual problems to some doctor) and another already validated and developed properly for the Brazilian population, the Sexual Quotient - Feminine Version. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction found was 32.26%, being more frequent in women between 36 and 50 years of age, married / union stable and with low level of schooling. Most women were dissatisfied with their own sex life, and of these, the majority (87.2%) had never talked about it with their doctors.
