Elevated free triiodothyronine may lead to female sexual dysfunction in Chinese urban women: A hospital-based survey

Abstract Research on female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is limited, especially in China, due to conservative culture and beliefs. There has been a dearth of FSD screening research in China since the optimal cutoff value of the Chinese version of the Female Sexual Function Index (CVFSFI) was determined...
