    Women with complex PTSD (CPTSD) reported lower overall sexual function compared to trauma-exposed controls in a study of 386 Mexican female university students.

  • 2

    The pain domain showed significant differences, with women with CPTSD experiencing greater sexual pain than trauma-exposed controls.

  • 3

    CPTSD severity was a significant predictor of lower sexual function scores, independent of age and PTSD severity.

  • 4

    The association between CPTSD and sexual pain did not persist after adjusting for age, which emerged as the only significant predictor.

  • 5

    This study highlights the need for further research on sexual functioning among women with CPTSD, particularly in culturally distinct contexts.
