In the first of CNA Women’s series of stories on painful sex, we look at the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction in Singapore and how this can worsen the country’s declining birth rate.

Nearly 60 per cent of the Singapore women surveyed in a first-of-its-kind study led by KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital experienced low sexual function – an indicator that they were at risk of developing sexual dysfunction.

The researchers said that those with total scores at or below the median value of 22 were determined to have low sexual function, and said to be at risk of sexual dysfunction – defined as having persistent recurrent problems during sex, including pain.As part of the study, the women were also interviewed on their personal details including age, ethnicity and marital status, pregnancy history and lifestyle habits, and had their physical activity and mental health assessed.

The study also found that compared to women with high sexual function, those with low sexual function saw their chances of conceiving within the year drop by 27 per cent. KKH said that in the last three years, its Sexual Health Clinic has been managing an average of 90 new cases of the condition annually.7 ways to reset your romantic relationship after a long pandemic season

Other hospitals also reported a regular stream of patients struggling with vaginismus, as well as dyspareunia, which is the condition specific to painful penetration during sexual intercourse. The pain that results from vaginismus is “very distressing and in severe cases, can lead to non-consummation of marriages”, she said.If unresolved, female sexual dysfunction affects the mental and physical health, relationship and quality of life for both the woman and her partner. It is also a key barrier to conception and procreation, said KKH.

KKH has “recognised this unmet clinical need” for preconception care services, said its doctors, and are putting in place a comprehensive care package that aims to optimise women’s sexual health as well as overall health before conception.

To cis straight men: Sex is about pleasuring both partners not just you. Both partners should get to have an orgasm. Next time, focus on the clitoris as well and ask your partner what they like and how they like it. Viva la Vulva🌻

Men and women once you have realized that it's tiring or boring Try and spice things up and support each other in this matter. I realize in our society when it comes to this topic it becomes a grey area to talk about or even addressing it. There is nothing to be shy about

That's why many Men are frustrated and they end up cheating or they use other conventional method to find happiness.

Muhammad Qasim has seen Prophet Muhammad SAW over 300 times in his dreams and describes that our Prophet SAW is in grief and sadness over the state of the Muslim ummah. Muslim ummah must wake up and understand the message of these dreams. Visit

Are you trying to blame the low birth rates on that 60% of Sg women now? Not that their men look like Hyun Bin, Captain America, or The Rock.

Let me help

'The most common form of female sexual dysfunction is vaginismus'. Blame women again? Teach the men the art la.

yes. but if my partner looks like Gong Yoo..maybe i will recover

They are just sexually handicapped?

maybe if they were happier and more supported? and actually experienced an orgasm once in their life they might actually like sex

Thanks to the law .. block or ban too much 'sexual' related Things .. mentality have become prehistoric hence fear araise

No time to die No time to sex

If their partners knew how to help them relax and communicate, might be higher

They should try and drop their phones from time to time. That might help.

I think because these women might jave had sex in small spaces

WFH slogging non stop office work then house work. I'm surprised the numbers are not higher.

They just have not met the man that can make them rain cum.

No wonder they can't Fecundify.

Qasim was shown in his dream in 2015, that Muslims will be shaken heavily and will end up fighting one another, if they do not believe in the dreams. Many of Qasim’s dreams are now turning into reality for Pakistan & Middle East. Learn more at

No wonder so many illegal massage parlors good business.

That's pretty grim 😕
