	<abstract>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Background:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Sexual problems are very prevalent in climacteric periods due to hormonal, social, and physiological changes, and sexual dysfunction of women can affect women&amp;rsquo;s self-confidence, marital relationship, and quality of life.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Objectives: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;This study was done to investigate the relationship between urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, prolapse, hot flush, and education with the sexual function of menopause women.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Methods:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; This cross-sectional study was done on 408 women who were referred to health care centers in Zanjan, Iran between 2018 and 2019. Sampling was performed using a systematic randomized sampling method. Data collection tools were a checklist consists of questions about socio-demographic and reproductive information and the 19-item Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire. All data were analyzed using SPSS version 16 through regression analysis and a P-value&lt;0.05 was considered significant.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Results&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; The mean age of women was 47.90&amp;plusmn;3.57 years. This study found the relationship between sexual function score and urinary incontinence (&amp;beta;=0.18, t=3.70, p&lt;0.001), vaginal dryness (&amp;beta;=0.27, t=5.73, p&lt;0.001), prolapse (&amp;beta;=-0.14, t=-2.97, p&lt;0.001), and hot flush (&amp;beta;=0.16, t=3.35, p&lt;0.001); however, there was no relationship between primary and university education with sexual function score (p&lt;0. 343 and p&lt;0.894, respectively).&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Based on the finding of this study, some factors, such as urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, and hot flush were associated with lower sexual function scores and prolapse was correlated with a higher score of sexual function. There was no significant correlation between sexual function and education level</abstract>
