    The study analyzed genitourinary symptoms and sexual function in women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) compared to age-matched controls.

  • 2

    Women with POI reported more frequent vulvovaginal dryness than controls, while other symptoms like itching and burning showed no significant differences.

  • 3

    Lower Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) scores and higher prevalence of sexual dysfunction were observed in women with POI compared to controls.

  • 4

    Vulvovaginal dryness was significantly associated with lower FSFI scores, indicating its impact on sexual function in women with POI.

  • 5

    The severity of urinary incontinence did not significantly differ between women with POI and controls, despite other genitourinary symptom burdens.
