Randomization
In this study, participants were randomly assigned into the case (n = 33) and control (n = 33) groups based on block randomization with the block size of 4 and allocation ratio of 1:1 using random sequence generation software.In order to conceal random allocation, sequentially numbered, sealed opaque envelopes were used. Thus, after performing a random sequence, a number of envelopes with aluminum wrappers (in order to obscure the contents of the envelopes) were prepared in proportion to the research sample size, and each of the random sequences created was recorded on a card. The cards were then placed in envelopes. In order to maintain a random sequence, the envelopes were numbered on their outer surface in the same way. Finally, the lids of the envelopes were glued and the envelopes were placed inside a box. At the time of registration of participants, according to the order of entry of eligible participants into the study, an envelope was opened and the participant was assigned to one group.Since the study could not be blinded due to the nature of the research, in order to reduce the possibility of bias, the type of intervention was assigned to the participants in the two study groups by a person who was involved in neither sampling nor data analysis. The calculation of the score of the female sexual function questionnaire of the patients was evaluated by a person who was not aware of the study process.
