Methods A total of 221 cervical cancer patients from March to December in 2013 were investigated by the questionnaire of Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI)and the scale of FACT-G. Results The total score of FSFI was (15.59±8.59), which was at the level of sexual dysfunction. The female sexual function index was significantly positively correlated with the quality of life and the subscale of physiology, emotion and function (r=0.201, 0.178, 0.134, 0.180, respectively). The quality of life was significantly positive correlated with the female sexual function index and the subscale of desire, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain (r=0.201, 0.176, 0.181, 0.157, 0.243, 0.177, respectively). Conclusions The medical workers should not only provide the disease-related knowledge, but also provide the knowledge of female sexual function, so as to improve their quality of life.
