Sammanfattning	The FSDS is a brief self-report measure designed to assess psychological distress specifically related to female sexual dysfunction. Originally developed by Derogatis and colleagues and published in 2002, the revised version (FSDS-R) comprises 13 items measuring distress about sexual concerns, with particular utility in identifying women who seek treatment for sexual problems versus those with asymptomatic sexual dysfunction. It is widely used in clinical practice and research to distinguish distress-inducing sexual dysfunction from normative sexual variation.	The MRS is an 11-item self-report symptom scale designed to assess the frequency and severity of menopausal symptoms including vasomotor complaints, psychologic symptoms, and urogenital manifestations. Developed by Heinemann and colleagues in Germany and first published in 2000, it has become the most widely used symptom measure in menopause research and clinical practice across 60+ countries and languages.
