Abstract

Measures that can assess female sexuality are becoming more and more important. However, the scales available are not widely used by reasons of validity and reliability, as well as not addressing important aspects of female sexuality. At this point, an instrument that has validity and reliability can be useful for doctors to assess issues such as odor, appearance and genital function. Therefore, the aim is to validate and adapt to the Brazilian context the FGSIS.
