【 摘 要 】

Objectives Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a prevalent disorder that affects the quality of life of women and combines biological, psychological, and interpersonal factors. There has been a lack of interest in studying FSD in such fields as research and treatment, due to the difficulty in measuring the sexual responses of women and other factors such as the taboo surrounding female sexuality. The present study portrays the trends in the scientific publications on the subject, so urologists can perceive and understand the need for research about this disorder in the daily practice.Methods A comprehensive review on the topic was performed through a PubMed, FABUMED, and Scopus databases using the search strategy “female sexual dysfunction”, as well as a retrospective, descriptive, bibliometric analysis of the medical literature retrieved from MEDLINE. Data was collected through the FABUMED, PubReMiner, and Scopus statistical tools, and, based on the results obtained for the variables, which were later submitted to a statistical and descriptive analysis. Based on this data, tables and graphs were developed using the Microsoft Office Excel 2017 software. Moreover, we performed a bibliometric mapping analysis using the VOSviewer software. In order to obtain the impact factor (IF), we used the Journal Citation Reports2017/2018.Results From 1975 to 2019, 1,292 studies were published; yearly publication rate remained stable from1975 to 2000, but after year 2000, an increase in the number of publications was evidenced, with a growth of 92.1%. But as of the year 2000, an increase in the number of publications was evidenced, with a growth of 92.1%. Of the twenty journals with the most publications, only four are on urology. The countries with the greatest number of publications were: the United States (31.4%), the United Kingdom (12.9%), Italy (8.9%), Turkey (5.9%), and Australia (4%). This data differs from that of Latin American countries, in which few publications were found, such as in Colombia, with only three studies.Conclusions The present bibliometric analysis showed the different trends and publication rates of studies on FSD, showing a low production rate as compared with that of other urological topics, especially in Urological journals, with a predominance of women as authors, although in recent years an important and sustained growth has been identified. The need to develop strategies to improve training at both the graduate and undergraduate levels and thus generate more adherence to these issues in a surgical specialty like ours is evident.
