Participants assigned to intervention (n=40) or control (n=41) groups
Data collected using the Sexual Quality of Life-Female (SQOL-F) questionnaire and Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSDS)
The intervention group showed significant improvements in overall sexual quality of life compared to the control group (p<0.05)
Reduction in sexual distress scores was significant in the intervention group after treatment and at follow-up (p<0.05)
