There are numerous studies in the literature investigating the prevalence and risk factors of sexual dysfunction in women with SSc, the number of studies examining the prevalence and effects of pelvic floor dysfunction in SSc is limited. Moreover, no studies were identified in the literature that specifically investigate the relationship between pelvic floor dysfunction and sexual dysfunction.The aim of this study is to evaluate pelvic floor dysfunction and sexual dysfunction in women with SSc, examine the relationship between these dysfunctions, and compare the findings with data from a healthy control group.
