Those diagnosed with cervical cancer must receive a variety of treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, or multitherapy.

(FSFI). The research results showed that of the 69 respondents, the age group that experienced the most sexual dysfunction was 46-55 years old, with 24 respondents (34.8%), the most common treatment for cervical cancer patients was multitherapy treatment with 49 respondents (71%) , and respondents who experienced sexual dysfunction were 64 respondents (92.8%).The results found a significant correlation between treatment and sexual function in patients diagnosed with cervical cancer. The p-value is 0.004 (p < 0.05), and the correlation coefficient is 0.342, indicating an insignificant correlation.
