Description
Summary:Introduction: One of the physiologic factors affecting orgasms and sexual satisfaction is the strength of the pelvic floor muscles. The weakness of these muscles may lead to female orgasmic disruption, anorgasmia, and, in turn, to decreased sexual satisfaction. This study aimed to determine the effect of pomegranate peel gel on women's orgasm and sexual satisfaction during their reproductive age. Methods: This randomized triple blind clinical trial was conducted on 110 women aged 18-45 years old admitted to the women's clinic of Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad in 2018. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups of control and intervention. The subjects in intervention and control group were recommended to use peel gel and placebo, respectively for 8 weeks. The orgasms and sexual satisfaction of the women in both groups were evaluated at the baseline, as well as 4 and 8 weeks after the intervention. The data were analyzed in Stata software, using T_test, Mann_whitney, T_paird, Wilcoxom & Friedman. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result: At the beginning of the study, the two groups were not different in terms of orgasms (p=0/748), sexual satisfaction (p=0/922), and sexual function. However, the mean scores of these two domains were significantly higher in study group after 4 and 8 weeks of intervention (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The use of pomegranate peel gel can effectively increase women's sexual satisfaction by improving orgasms.
