ABSTRACT

Abstract Objectives: to evaluate associated factors with sexual dysfunction among middle-aged women. Methods: cross-sectional and analytical study was carried out with climacteric women attended at a Family Health Strategy Unit in the city of Montes Claros, MG. Brazil. The eligible women answered a question form containing sociodemographic, behavioral, anthropometric, gynecological factors and sexuality. The Body Mass Index and waist circumference were used to assess nutritional status and metabolic risk. To evaluate quality of life and sexual performance the Menopause Rating Scale and the Sexual Quotient - Female Version were used, respectively. Bivariate analysis and hierarchical multiple regression were used to identify associated factors with sexual dysfunction in the climacteric period. Results: among 195 women, 29.6% had sexual dysfunction. The prevalence of unsatisfactory sexual performance was higher among women who reported moderate to severe climacteric symptoms (OR=2.47) and lower schooling level was also associated (OR=1.95). However, age at menarche below 12 years (OR=0.43) and non-white (OR=0.36) seem to have a protective effect for good sexual performance. Conclusion: the prevalence of sexual dysfunction was high and the level of schooling and climacteric symptomatology were associated factors with this outcome.


Resumo Objetivos: avaliar os fatores associados à disfunção sexual entre as mulheres de meia-idade. Métodos: estudo de corte transversal e analítico realizado com mulheres climatéricas atendidas em uma Unidade de Estratégia de Saúde da Família no município de Montes Claros-MG, Brasil. As mulheres elegíveis responderam a um formulário contendo questões sociodemográficas, comportamentais, antropométricas, fatores ginecológicos e sexualidade. Utilizou-se o Índice e Massa Corporal e a circunferência da cintura para avaliar o estado nutricional e risco metabólico. Para avaliar a qualidade de vida e o desempenho sexual foram utilizados a Menopause Rating Scale e o Quociente Sexual -Versão Feminina, respectivamente. Empregou-se análise bivariada e regressão múltipla hierarquizada para identificar fatores associados à disfunção sexual no climatério. Resultados: dentre 195 mulheres, 29,6% apresentaram disfunção sexual. A prevalência de desempenho sexual insatisfatório foi maior entre as mulheres que declararam sintomas climatéricos moderados a graves (OR = 2,47) e o menor grau de escolaridade (OR = 1,95). No entanto, a idade da menarca abaixo de 12 anos (OR = 0,43) e a cor de pele não branca (OR = 0,36) parecem ter efeito protetor para o bom desempenho sexual. Conclusão: a prevalência de disfunção sexual foi elevada e o nível de escolaridade e a sintomatologia climatérica foram fatores associados a esse resultado.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Las disfunciones sexuales femeninas son altamente prevalentes a lo largo de la vida, sin embargo, no son de fácil abordaje para los profesionales de salud. Los aspectos físicos de las disfunciones sexuales y su tratamiento, frecuentemente son subvalorados, porque la evidencia sobre la terapia física en estas disfunciones es limitada. Lo que genera que sean parcialmente tratadas y su sintomatología se pueda mantener y/o aumentar en el tiempo, impactando en la función sexual y en la calidad de vida. Objetivo. Revisar la literatura disponible sobre la terapia física en disfunciones sexuales femeninas y establecer su efectividad. Metodología. Se realizaron búsquedas bibliográficas, entre los años 2012 y 2022 en inglés y portugués, disponibles en diferentes bases de datos como; Pubmed, Scielo, Cochrane, Pedro y en Google Scholar. Se incluyeron los registros que hicieran referencia a la terapia física en las disfunciones sexuales femeninas y que cumplieran con nuestros criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Resultados. Se incluyeron 8 registros en la síntesis cualitativa. Se identificaron 3 modalidades: herramientas de terapia física, valoración de la función sexual y del dolor. Conclusión. La terapia física demuestra ser efectiva para el tratamiento de las disfunciones sexuales femeninas. La evidencia disponible que demuestre su uso y efectividad aún es escasa, lo que limita su difusión para ser considerada en el abordaje multidisciplinario habitual. Se requiere aumentar la investigación en esta área, enfocada en el rol de la terapia física y sus modalidades terapéuticas, en el tratamiento de las disfunciones sexuales femeninas.


Background. Female sexual dysfunction is highly prevail throughout our life, nevertheless, they are not easily addressed by health professionals. The physical aspects of sexual dysfunctions and their treatment are frequently undervalued because the evidence about physical therapy in these dysfunctions is limited. What causes them to be partly treated and their symptoms can be maintained and/or increased over time and having an impact on sexual function and quality of life. Objetive. To review through literature about physical therapy in female sexual dysfunction and to establish its effectiveness. Methods. Through 2012 and 2012 it was carried out bibliographic searches in English and Portuguese, available in different databases, such as Pubmed, Scielo, Cochrane, Pedro and Google Scholar. Records referring to physical therapy in female sexual dysfunction and that fulfill our requirements of inclusion and exclusion criteria were included. Results. Eight records were included in the qualitative synthesis. Three modalities were identified: physical therapy tools, assessment of sexual function and pain. Conclusion. Physical therapy proves to be effective for the treatment of female sexual dysfunctions. The available evidence that demonstrates its use and effectiveness is still scarce, which limits its diffusion to be considered in the regular multidisciplinary approach. More researches are demand in this area, focused on the role of physical therapy and its therapeutic modalities, in the treatment of female sexual dysfunctions.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: la disfunción sexual (DS) es común entre las mujeres con enfermedades crónicas, incluyendo esclerosis sistémica (ES). Se ha asociado con características como la duración de la enfermedad, dolor, disminución de la actividad funcional, entre otras. Desde nuestro conocimiento, aún no contamos con datos locales. Objetivos: evaluar la frecuencia de DS en mujeres con ES; describir las características sociodemográficas, clínicas y psicológicas asociadas con la DS en mujeres con ES. Materiales y métodos: estudio observacional, analítico y de corte transversal. Se incluyeron mujeres de entre 20 y 59 años con diagnóstico de ES, según los criterios de clasificación del European League Against Rheumatism/American College of Rheumatology (ACR/EULAR 2013). Se excluyeron pacientes con enfermedades crónicas no controladas, otras patologías reumatológicas autoinmunes, e inactividad sexual o patología genitourinaria no relacionadas a ES en las últimas 4 semanas. La DS se evaluó con la versión en español del cuestionario índice de función sexual femenina (Female sexual function index, FSFI). Resultados: se incluyeron 56 pacientes. El 78,57% presentó DS y 19,64% era sexualmente inactiva debido a la enfermedad. Escala visual análoga (EVA) de fatiga (coeficiente β: -0,08, IC 95%: -0,14 a -0,02; p<0,01), edad (coeficiente β: -0,23, IC 95%: -0,40 a -0,05; p=0,01) y fibromialgia (coeficiente β: -11,90, IC 95%: -17,98 a -5,82; p<0,01) mostraron una asociación significativa e independiente con DS en el análisis multivariado. Conclusiones: la DS es frecuente entre las mujeres con ES, y las pacientes más jóvenes, sin fibromialgia y con menor fatiga presentaron una mejor funcionalidad sexual.


Introduction: sexual impairment (SI) is common among women with chronic diseases, including systemic sclerosis (SSc). It has been associated with characteristics such as the duration of the disease, pain, decreased functional activity, among others. To the best of our knowledge, we still do not have local data. Objectives: to evaluate the frequency of SI in women with SSc. To describe the sociodemographic characteristics, disease itself and psychological items associated with SI in women with SSc. Materials and methods: observational, analytical, cross-sectional study. We included women between 20 and 59 years diagnosed with SSc according to 2013 classification criteria ACR/EULAR. We excluded patients with uncontrolled chronic diseases or other autoimmune rheumatologic diseases and patients who, in the last 4 weeks, had dyspareunia or were sexually inactive due to causes not attributable to their disease. SI was assessed using the Spanish version of female sexual function index questionnaire (FSFI). Results: 56 patients were included. 78.57% presented SI and 19.64% of them were sexually inactive patients due to the disease. Fatigue VAS (β coefficient: -0.08, CI 95%: -0.14 to -0.02; p<0.01), age (β coefficient: -0.23, CI 95%: -0.40 to -0.05; p=0.01) and fibromyalgia (β coefficient: -11.90, CI 95%: -17.98 to -5.82; p<0.01) showed significant and independent association with SI in the multivariate analysis. Conclusions: SI is frequent among women with SSc, and younger patients, without fibromyalgia and with less fatigue have better sexual function.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Urinary incontinence (UI), fecal inconti-nence (FI), and genito-pelvic pain or penetration disorder (GPPPD) are considered pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD), and are mainly characterized by poor functionality of the pelvic floor muscles. Despite the relevance of these dysfunctions in women's lives, the demand for care is low. Objective To analyze the prevalence of PFD, in university women, and factors associated with PFD. Methods This is a cross-sectional study conducted at São Paulo State University, Marília, SP, Brazil, with undergraduate and/or postgraduate women aged over 18 years. An online questionnaire containing 40 open and multiple-choice questions about PFD was developed by the authors and a Google form was disclosed via social media (Facebook, Instagram) to the participants. The questionnaire was applied between April and July 2020. Results A sample of 707 participants was included. The average age was 22.5 ± 21.0 years old. The most prevalent PFD was GPPPD, reported by 30.7% of women, followed by UI (16.8%) and FI (3.2%). PFD was significant less reported in the Midwest region compared to other regions (p = 0.015) and significantly more prevalent in women who attended public university (p = 0.038), in women with UI, FI, and GPPPD. The association-test showed that attending public university showed association to UI (p < 0.001), FI (p = 0.008) and GPPPD (p = 0.006). In addition, parity showed association with GPPD (p = 0.032) and to attend health courses with UI (p = 0.002). Conclusion PFD is prevalent among university women and GPPPD was the most recurrent, followed by UI and FI. GPPPD was associated with parity and attending a public university. UI was associated with attending public university and health courses. FI was associated with attending a public university.


Resumo Introdução A incontinência urinária (IU), a incontinência fecal (IF) e a dor genitopélvica ou distúrbio de penetração (DGDP) são considerados disfunções do assoalho pélvico (DAP) e caracterizam-se principalmente pela má funcionalidade dos músculos do assoalho pélvico. Apesar da relevância dessas disfunções na vida das mulheres, a demanda por atendimento é baixa. Objetivo Analisar a prevalência das DAP em mulheres universitárias e fatores associados à DAP. Métodos Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado na Universidade Estadual Paulista, Marília, SP, Brasil, com graduandas e/ou pós-graduandas maiores de 18 anos. Um questionário online contendo 40 questões abertas e de múltipla escolha sobre DAP foi desenvolvido pelos autores e um formulário do Google foi divulgado via mídia social (Facebook, Instagram) às participantes. O questionário foi aplicado entre abril e julho de 2020. Resultados Uma amostra de 707 participantes foi incluída. A média de idade foi de 22,5 ± 21 anos. A disfunção mais prevalente foi a DGDP, relatada por 30,7% das mulheres, seguida por IU (16,8%) e IF (3,2%). As características gerais não diferiram entre os grupos, mas no geral as disfunções foram significativamente menos relatadas na região Centro-Oeste em comparação com outras regiões (p = 0,015) e significativamente mais prevalente em mulheres que frequentaram universidade pública (p = 0,038) e em mulheres com IU, IF e DGDP. O teste de associação não demonstrou associação entre as disfunções e etnia, índice de massa corporal ou tipo de assistência à saúde. Além disso, frequentar universidade pública apresentou associação com IU (p < 0,001), IF (p= 0,008) e DGDP (p = 0,006). Além disso, a paridade mostrou-se associada à DGDP (p = 0,032) e frequentar cursos de saúde com IU (p = 0,002). Conclusão A disfunção do assoalho pélvico é prevalente entre as universitárias e a DGDP foi a mais recorrente, seguida de IU e IF. DGDP foi associado à paridade e a frequentar universidade pública. IU foi associada a frequentar universidade pública e a cursos da área da saúde. IF foi associada a frequentar universidade pública.

ABSTRACT

Resumen OBJETIVO: Revisar el estado actual del conocimiento acerca de la asociación entre la esterilización quirúrgica femenina y la disfunción sexual en la mujer. METODOLOGIA: Estudio retrospectivo efectuado con base en la búsqueda bibliográfica de artículos publicados en inglés y español en las bases de datos de PubMed, LILACS, MEDLINE y EBSCO entre los años 1990 y 2022. Se seleccionaron artículos con estudios de cohorte, observacionales, casos y controles, revisiones bibliográficas sistemáticas, ensayos clínicos y metanálisis. RESULTADOS: Se obtuvieron 50 artículos de los que se excluyeron 38 por duplicidad, idioma diferente al inglés o español, sin relación con el tema específico o no estaban completos. Al final se incluyeron 12 artículos que cumplieron con los criterios para la revisión. CONCLUSIONES: La asociación entre esterilización quirúrgica y disfunción sexual femenina ha sido ampliamente discutida, pero poco estudiada. Los ensayos disponibles son observacionales efectuados en contextos socioculturales diversos, con desenlaces contradictorios y con limitaciones metodológicas. Los resultados obtenidos varían según el contexto sociocultural y el papel de la mujer en la sociedad donde se estudia, las creencias religiosas y el grado de escolaridad. Es necesario emprender más estudios con mejor calidad metodológica para establecer recomendaciones más precisas y, así, repercutir en la salud sexual de las mujeres.


Abstract OBJECTIVE: Review current status of knowledge about the association between female surgical sterilization and sexual dysfunction in women. METHODOLOGY: Retrospective study based on a literature search of articles published in English and Spanish in PubMed, LILACS, MEDLINE and EBSCO databases between 1990 and 2022. Articles with cohort, observational, case-control, systematic literature reviews, clinical trials and meta-analyses were selected. RESULTS: We obtained 50 articles of which 38 were excluded due to duplicity, language other than English or Spanish, unrelated to the specific topic or not complete. In the end, 12 articles that met the criteria for review were included. CONCLUSIONS: The association between surgical sterilization and female sexual dysfunction has been widely discussed, but little studied. The available trials are observational conducted in diverse sociocultural contexts, with contradictory outcomes and methodological limitations. The results obtained vary according to the sociocultural context and the role of women in the society being studied, the religious beliefs and level of schooling. More studies with better methodological quality are needed to establish more precise recommendations and thus have an impact on women's sexual health.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Objetivo: Describir la prevalencia de la disfunción sexual en un grupo de mujeres gestantes y hacer una exploración de posibles factores asociados a la disfunción sexual en estas mujeres. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo y trasversal en mujeres gestantes cuyas edades son de 15 años o más, con actividad sexual en la gestación, que asistieron al control prenatal en el Hospital San Juan de Dios de Rionegro entre los meses de enero y marzo del 2021. Se excluyeron pacientes con limitaciones o discapacidad cognitiva, o clasificadas con trastorno mental según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), gestantes con patologías crónicas, placentarias, ovulares, hemorrágicas e infecciosas, y las pacientes cuya gestación fue resultado de violencia sexual. Se aplicó el cuestionario Índice de Función Sexual Femenina (FSFI), se midieron variables sociodemográficas y de salud sexual y reproductiva. Los resultados se expresan en frecuencias absolutas y relativas para las variables cualitativas y medianas, y rangos intercuartílicos para las variables cuantitativas. Resultados: La mediana de edad fue de 27,5 años (RIC: 21,3-31,0); de edad gestacional 28,5 semanas (RIC: 21,3-34,8). Tras la aplicación del FSFI, 37 mujeres (37,7%) tuvieron disfunción sexual (puntaje < 26,5). La mediana del puntaje de las participantes sin disfunción sexual fue de 29,4 (RIC 26,8-32), mientras que por el lado de las que tienen disfunción sexual fue de 22,3 (RIC 20-24). La media del puntaje para cada dominio fue: deseo: 3,6 (RIC: 3,0-4,2); excitación: 4,5 (RIC: 3,6-5,1); lubricación: 4,8 (RIC: 3,9-5,4); orgasmo: 4,4 (RIC: 3,6-5,2); dolor: 4,4 (RIC: 3,6-6,0); y satisfacción: 5,4 (RIC: 4,8-6,0). Fueron factores protectores no tener hijos ni cesáreas previas. La ausencia de compañero y menor edad estuvieron asociados a disfunción sexual. Conclusión: La disfunción sexual se presenta en por lo menos un tercio de las gestantes, especialmente en el tercer trimestre. En la práctica clínica diaria se hace necesario abordar la disfunción sexual, ya que se puede contribuir desde el abordaje de la educación a un problema que puede afectar las relaciones de pareja y la calidad de vida. Es fundamental generar nuevas investigaciones que incluyan la evaluación de la efectividad y seguridad de estrategias educativas en este grupo poblacional con disfunción sexual.


ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in a group of pregnant women, and to explore potential factors associated with this condition in this population. Material and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study in pregnant women 15 years of age and older, sexually active during gestation, receiving prenatal care at the San Juan de Dios Hospital in Rionegro between January and March, 2021. The exclusion criteria were patients with disabilities or cognitive impairment, or classified as having a mental disorder according to the World Health Organization (WHO); pregnant women with chronic, placental, ovulation, hemorrhagic or infectious conditions; and patients whose pregnancy was the result of sexual assault. The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire was applied, and sociodemographic and sexual and reproductive health variables were measured. Results are expressed as absolute and relative frequencies for qualitative variables, and as medians and interquartile ranges for quantitative variables. Results: The mean age in years was 27.5 (IQR: 21.331.0) and the mean gestational age was 28.5 weeks (IQR: 21.3-34.8). After administering the FSFI, it was found that 37 women (37.7%) had sexual dysfunction (score < 26.5). The median scores for the participants without sexual dysfunction and those with sexual dysfunction were 29.4 (IQR 26.8-32) and 22.3 (IQR 20-24), respectively. The mean scores for each domain were: desire 3.6 (IQR: 3.0-4.2); arousal 4.5 (IQR: 3.65.1); lubrication 4.8 (IQR: 3.9-5.4); orgasm 4.4 (IQR: 3.6-5.2); pain 4.4 (IQR: 3.6-6.0); and satisfaction 5.4 (IQR: 4.8-6.0). The total score (p<0.05) was better in older women and those with one or more children. Conclusion: Sexual dysfunction occurs at least in one-third of pregnant women, especially during the third trimester. Sexual dysfunction should be considered in daily clinical practice, given that approaching the topic from an education perspective can help reduce a problem that affects the couple and quality of life. It is critical to undertake additional research that includes assessment of the effectiveness and safety of educational strategies in this population with sexual dysfunction.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Verificar a frequência e os fatores associados à disfunção sexual em mulheres jovens universitárias. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo analítico de corte transversal. Participaram deste estudo 111 mulheres, estudantes, heterossexuais do curso de fisioterapia da Universidade Federal da Bahia. Cada participante respondeu a dois questionários autoaplicáveis "Investigação de fatores associados" e "Quociente sexual ­ versão feminina", entre os meses de setembro e outubro de 2019. RESULTADOS: Foi encontrado nesta população prevalência de 8% de disfunção sexual. O sintoma de esforço evacuatório esteve associado a pior desempenho/satisfação sexual pelo score total do QS-F (p=0,03), e quando avaliado por agrupamento de questões, foi encontrada associação entre esforço evacuatório e pior excitação (p=0,01), esforço evacuatório e mais dor (p=0,04); urgência urinária e mais dor (p=0,04); violência e pior excitação (p=0,05) e violência e menos satisfação/orgasmo (p=0,02). CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados sugerem que há baixa prevalência de disfunção sexual na população estudada, mas há associação entre sintomas de disfunções do assoalho pélvico e disfunções sexuais em mulheres jovens.


OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in young college women. METHODS: This is a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study. A total of 111 heterosexual women students of the physiotherapy course from the Universidade Federal da Bahia participated in this study. Each participant answered two self-administered questionnaires, "Investigation of associated factors" and "Sex ratio - female version" between September and October 2019. RESULTS: A prevalence of 8% of sexual dysfunction was found in this population. The symptom of evacuatory effort was associated with worse performance / sexual satisfaction by the total SQ-F score (p=0.03), and when assessed by a grouping of questions, an association was found between evacuatory effort and worse arousal (p=0.01), evacuatory effort, and pain (p=0.04); urinary urgency and pain (p=0.04); violence and arousal (p=0.05); and violence and less satisfaction/orgasm (p=0.02). CONCLUSION: The results suggest a low prevalence of sexual dysfunction in the studied population, but there is an association between symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction and sexual dysfunction in young women.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective To assess the construct and criterion validity of the Postmenopause Sexuality Questionnaire (PMSQ). Methods The present methodological questionnaire validation study included postmenopausal women. The construct validity was tested by factor analysis and the criterion validity was performed using the correlation between the PMSQ and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). The ROC curve was used to verify sensitivity, specificity and to determine the cutoff point of the PMSQ. Results A total of 181 women with amean age of 56.4 ± 5.7 years old were evaluated. The exploratory factor analysis showed that the PMSQ presented Kaiser test = 0.88 and χ2 = 3293.7 (p < 0.001), commonalities ≥ 0.5, and extraction of 9 factors with eigenvalue ≥ 1; explaining 66.3% of the total variance. The PMSQ presented factor loadings between 0.4 and 0.8. A strong correlation between the 2 questionnaires (r = 0.79; p = 0.000) was shown. The cutoff point of the PMSQ was ≤ 55.5, assuming 87.9% sensitivity and 78.9% specificity (p < 0.001). Conclusion Since the PMSQ showed a strong correlation with the FSFI questionnaire, it presented good psychometric properties to assess the sexuality in postmenopausal women. Based on these results, the PMSQ could be widely tested as a specific instrument to examine the sexual function in postmenopausal women. Future studies, designed to examine the PMSQ instrument in different populations, are needed.


Resumo Objetivos Validar o construto e o critério do Questionário para Avaliação da Sexualidade Feminina após a Menopausa (QSFM). Métodos Estudo metodológico de validação de questionário incluiu mulheres na pósmenopausa. A validade de construto foi testada pormeio da análise fatorial e a validade de critério foi realizada por meio da correlação entre o QSFM e o Índice de Função Sexual Feminina (FSFI). A Curva ROC foi utilizada para verificar sensibilidade, especificidade e determinar o ponto de corte do QSFM. Resultados Foram avaliadas 181 mulheres, com idade média de 56,4 ± 5,7 anos. A análise fatorial exploratória mostrou que o QSFM apresentou teste de Kaiser = 0,88 e χ2 = 3293,7 (p < 0,001), comunalidades ≥ 0,5 com extração de nove fatores com autovalor ≥ 1; explicando 66,3% da variância total. O QSFM apresentou cargas fatoriais entre 0,4 e 0,8. Uma forte correlação entre os dois questionários (r = 0,79; p = 0,000) foi demonstrada. O ponto de corte do QSFM foi ≤ 55,5, assumindo sensibilidade de 87,9% e especificidade de 78,9% (p < 0,001). Conclusão Como o QSFM demonstrou uma forte concordância com o questionário FSFI, ele apresentou boas propriedades psicométricas para avaliar a sexualidade em mulheres na pós-menopausa. Com base nesses resultados, o QSFM pode ser amplamente utilizado como um instrumento específico para examinar a função sexual em mulheres na pós-menopausa. Estudos futuros são necessários para examinar o instrumento QSFM em diferentes populações.

ABSTRACT

The prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is rising with Korea becoming an aging society. As patients age, their comorbidities and the risks associated with anesthesia increase. Recently, there has been an increasing concern regarding sexual function after surgery. As a result, interest in minimally invasive surgery for BPH that does not require anesthesia or affect sexual function has grown. This review article introduces newly developed minimally invasive surgeries for BPH divided into four categories based on the strategy—mechanical, anatomical, atrophic, and laparoscopic. Here, the mechanisms for each surgical method have been introduced. Furthermore, recent representative studies of these procedures with a focus on randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses have also been reviewed. Side effects related to sexual function have also been mentioned briefly along with the efficacy and indication for robotic BPH surgery, which has recently been attracting attention. However, these newer, minimally invasive procedures require additional comparative randomized controlled trials and long-term results to produce more robust evidence for their use.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Women with pelvic floor disorders and urinary incontinence (UI) are at an increased risk of sexual dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of surgery for UI on sexual function. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 82 women who underwent mid-urethral transobturator tape (TOT) surgery between March 2010 and December 2014. The Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20) and the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire-12 (PISQ-12) were administered pre- and postoperatively. RESULTS: We observed a significant increase in the total postoperative PISQ-12 scores compared to the preoperative scores (from 27.1±7.3 to 30.5±6.8, P < 0.001). Improved sexual function was confirmed in the physical (13.3±4.5 vs. 15.8±3.5, P < 0.001) and partner-related domains (6.7±2.6 vs. 7.4±2.4, P=0.001). Coital incontinence and preoperative urinary distress inventory score were significant factors influencing postoperative sexual function in women undergoing TOT surgery for UI after adjusting for age, body mass index, menopause, and preoperative PISQ-12 score in multivariate regression analysis. CONCLUSION: TOT surgery for UI correction resulted in significant improvement in sexual function.

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho tem como foco a construção do declínio hormonal masculino relacionado ao envelhecimento, como parte de um processo mais geral de medicalização da sexualidade e envelhecimento masculinos. A fim de atingir esse objetivo, foram pesquisados 14 websites de laboratórios farmacêuticos que comercializam drogas para a saúde sexual masculina e sete websites de associações médico-científicas voltadas para a saúde sexual masculina. Utilizamos as imagens encontradas em tais sites como material de análise. A partir do que foi analisado, discutimos a existência de uma parceria entre as associações médico-científicas e a indústria farmacêutica, que tende a apresentar o envelhecimento masculino como um problema médico, promovendo a terapia de reposição hormonal (TRH) com testosterona como tratamento. Tal terapia é também apresentada como um meio para recuperar a felicidade, a produtividade, a ‘qualidade de vida’ e o bem-estar...

This study focuses on the construction of male hormonal decline relating to aging as part of a more general process of medicalization of male sexuality and aging. In order to accomplish this objective, 14 websites of pharmaceutical laboratories that sell drugs for male sexual health and seven websites of medical-scientific associations focusing on male sexual health were surveyed. We used the images found on these sites as analysis material. Based on our analysis, we discuss the existence of a partnership between the medical-scientific associations and the pharmaceutical industry, which tends to present male aging as a medical problem and promotes hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with testosterone as a way of treating it. This therapy is also presented as a means to recover happiness, productivity, ‘quality of life’ and wellbeing...

ABSTRACT

Objective The aim of this study was to study the effects of Tribulus terrestris on sexual function in menopausal women. Methods This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial that included 60 postmenopausal women with sexual dysfunction. The women were divided into two groups, placebo group and Tribulus group, and evaluated by using the Sexual Quotient-female version (SQ-F) and Female Intervention Efficacy Index (FIEI) questionnaires. Results There was no significant difference between the groups in age, age at menopause, civil status, race, and religion. In the evaluation with the SQ-F questionnaire, there were significant differences between the placebo (7.6±3.2) and Tribulus (10.2±3.2) groups in the domains of desire and sexual interest (p d" 0.001), foreplay (3.3±1.5 versus 4.2±1.0) (p d" 0.01), arousal and harmonious interaction with the partner (5.7±2.1 versus 7.2±2.6) (p d" 0.01), and comfort in sexual intercourse (6.5±2.4 versus 8.0±1.9) (p d" 0.01). There was no significant difference between the placebo and Tribulus groups in the domains of orgasm and sexual satisfaction (p = 0.28). In the FIEI questionnaire, there was a significant improvement (p < 0.001) in the domains of vaginal lubrication during coitus and/or foreplay (20 versus 83.3%), sensation in the genitalia during sexual intercourse or other stimuli (16.7 versus 76.7%), sensation in the genital region (20 versus 70%), sexual intercourse and/or other sexual stimulations (13.3 versus 43.3%), and the ability to reach orgasm (20% versus 73.3%). There was no significant difference in adverse effects between the two groups. Conclusions After 90 days of treatment, at the doses used, we found Tribulus terrestris to be effective in treating sexual problems among menopausal women.


Objetivo Estudar os efeitos doTribulus terrestris na função sexual demulheres após a menopausa. Métodos Ensaio clínico, prospectivo, randomizado, duplo-cego, placebo controlado, com 60 mulheres após a menopausa com disfunção sexual, divididas em dois grupos: Grupo Placebo e Grupo Tribulus, avaliadas através dos questionários Quociente Sexualversão Feminina (QS-F) e Female Intervention Efficacy Index (FIEI). Resultados Não houve diferença significante entre os grupos quanto à idade, idade de menopausa, estado civil, raça e religião. Na avaliação do questionário QS-F houve diferença significante entre os grupos Placebo (7,6±3,2) e Tribulus (10,2±3,2) nos aspectos desejo e interesse sexual (p d" 0,001), preliminares (3,3±1,5 versus 4,2±1,0) (p d" 0,01), excitação da mulher e sintonia com o parceiro (5,7±2,1 versus 7,2±2,6) (p d" 0,01) e no aspecto conforto na relação sexual (6,5±2,4 versus 8,0±1,9) (p d" 0,01). O aspecto orgasmo e satisfação sexual não houve diferença significante entre o Grupo Placebo e Tribulus (p = 0,28). No questionário FIEI houve melhora significante (p < 0,001) na lubrificação vaginal durante o coito e/ou preliminares (20 versus 83,3%), na sensação nas genitálias durante a relação sexual ou outros estímulos (16,7 versus 76,7%), na sensação na área genital (20 versus 70%), nas relações sexuais e/ou outras estimulações sexuais (13,3 versus 43,3%) e na capacidade de ter orgasmo (20% versus 73,3%). Quanto aos efeitos colaterais não houve diferença significante entre os dois Grupos. Conclusões Após noventa dias, podemos concluir que o Tribulus terrestris nas doses utilizadas demonstrou ser efetivo no tratamento das queixas sexuais dasmulheres após a menopausa.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Approximately 60% of chronic pain individuals complain of sexual dysfunction, the prevalence of which varies from 20 to 88%. Among sexual complaints most reported by elderly females there are low interest, difficult vaginal lubrication and inability to reach orgasm. This study aimed at checking the prevalence of sexual dysfunction among long-lived females with chronic pain and at describing interfering factors. METHODS: This was a descriptive, analytical and cross-sectional study with females above 80 years of age. Data were collected on demographics, comorbidities and use of drugs, in addition to chronic pain evaluation and measurement and identification of sexual dysfunctions by the Short Personal Experiences Questionnaire. RESULTS: Participated in the study 32 elderly females, with mean age of 87 years, most of them widows, with less than 4 years of education, good self-reported health, without sexual partner and with primarily osteoarthritis-induced nociceptive pain.The prevalenceof sexual dysfunctionwasfoundtobe 78% ofelderlywithchronicpainwith a mean score of7. Major reason for sexual inactivity was lack of a partner. In approximately 28.1% it was observed that chronic pain would interfere with sexuality. It was also observed that no elderly female had been previously addressed as to their sexuality, although 68.8% have stated that would have liked to be addressed. CONCLUSION: Chronic pain was considered a factor interfering with sexual practices of studied long-lived females, suggesting that this symptom may impair sexuality during aging. .


JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Cerca de 60% dos indivíduos com dor crônica queixam-se de disfunção sexual, cuja prevalência varia de 20 a 88%. Entre as queixas sexuais mais relatadas entre as idosas estão o baixo interesse, a dificuldade de lubrificação vaginal e a incapacidade de alcançar o orgasmo. O objetivo deste estudo foi apurar a prevalência de disfunção sexual entre as idosas longevas com dor crônica, e descrever os fatores de interferência. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo descritivo e analítico de corte-transversal, com indivíduos acima de 80 anos, do gênero feminino. Foram coletados dados sócio-demográficos, de comorbidades e uso de fármacos, além da avaliação e mensuração da dor crônica e apuração das disfunções sexuais através do Short Personal Experiences Questionnaire. RESULTADOS: Participaram do estudo 32 idosas com média de idade de 87 anos, a maioria viúva, com menos de 4 anos de escolaridade, boa saúde autorreferida, sem parceiro sexual, e com dor crônica prevalentemente nociceptiva por osteoartrite. A prevalência de disfunção sexual encontrada foi de 78% das idosas com dor crônica, com pontuação média de 7. A principal causa da inatividade sexual foi a ausência de um parceiro. Em cerca de 28,1% observou-se que a dor crônica interferia na sexualidade. Também se observou que nenhuma idosa fora abordada anteriormente quanto a sua sexualidade, apesar de 68,8% delas terem afirmado que gostariam de já ter sido abordadas. CONCLUSÃO: A dor crônica foi considerada um fator que interferia na prática sexual das idosas longevas estudadas, sugerindo que esse quadro possa comprometer a sexualidade no envelhecimento. .

ABSTRACT

With aging, abnormal benign growth of the prostate results in benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) with concomitant lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Because the prostate is an androgen target tissue, and transforms testosterone into 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (5alpha-DHT), a potent androgen, via 5alpha-reductase (5alpha-R) activity, inhibiting this key metabolic reaction was identified as a target for drug development to treat symptoms of BPH. Two drugs, namely finasteride and dutasteride were developed as specific 5alpha-reductase inhibitors (5alpha-RIs) and were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of BPH symptoms. These agents have proven useful in the reducing urinary retention and minimizing surgical intervention in patients with BPH symptoms and considerable literature exists describing the benefits of these agents. In this review we highlight the adverse side effects of 5alpha-RIs on sexual function, high grade prostate cancer incidence, central nervous system function and on depression. 5alpha-Rs isoforms (types 1-3) are widely distributed in many tissues including the central nervous system and inhibition of these enzymes results in blockade of synthesis of several key hormones and neuro-active steroids leading to a host of adverse effects, including loss of or reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, orgasmic dysfunction, increased high Gleason grade prostate cancer, observed heart failure and cardiovascular events in clinical trials, and depression. Considerable evidence exists from preclinical and clinical studies, which point to significant and serious adverse effects of 5alpha-RIs, finasteride and dutasteride, on sexual health, vascular health, psychological health and the overall quality of life. Physicians need to be aware of such potential adverse effects and communicate such information to their patients prior to commencing 5alpha-RIs therapy.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar a prevalência das disfunções sexuais antes e durante a gravidez por meio de um estudo transversal, realizado com 778 primigestas, com companheiro, que pariram nas duas maternidades de Rio Branco, Acre, Brasil, entre 1º de fevereiro e 31 de julho de 2010, utilizando entrevista no pós-parto. A mediana de idade das primigestas foi de 20 anos, 45% eram adolescentes, 19% possuíam escolaridade até o ensino fundamental; 30% tinham trabalho remunerado, 86,5% utilizaram o serviço público (SUS) para os partos. A prevalência de disfunção sexual foi de 23,9% antes da gravidez e de 67,7% na gravidez. Antes da gestação, a falta de desejo sexual foi de 20,2% e, na gestação, de 51%. A diminuição da lubrificação vaginal durante a gestação foi de 29,1%, a dispareunia foi de 1,2% antes da gestação e de 14,4% na gestação, 3,3% tiveram insatisfação sexual antes da gravidez, e 10,8%, na gestação. Os achados indicam que as mulheres estudadas apresentaram maior prevalência de disfunção sexual durante a primeira gravidez do que no período anterior a essa gestação.


This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of sexual dysfunction prior to and during the first pregnancy. This was a cross-sectional study using postpartum interviews with 778 primigravidae who were married or in stable unions and had given birth at the two maternity hospitals in Rio Branco, Acre State, Brazil, from February 1st to July 31st, 2010. Median age was 20 years, 45% were adolescents, 19% had completed elementary school, 30% had paid jobs, and 86.5% had used public healthcare services (SUS) for childbirth. Prevalence of sexual dysfunction was 23.9% prior to pregnancy and 67.7% during pregnancy. Decreased libido was present in 20.2% prior to pregnancy and 51% during pregnancy. Decreased vaginal lubrication occurred in 29.1% during pregnancy. Dyspareunia was present in 1.2% prior to pregnancy and 14.4% during pregnancy. Some 3.3% reported sexual dissatisfaction prior to pregnancy, as compared to 10.8% during pregnancy. Women with more schooling showed higher prevalence of sexual dysfunction during (as compared to before) their first pregnancy.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: Apesar do papel fundamental da função sexual na qualidade de vida da população, há uma escassez na literatura brasileira de instrumentos específicos para sua avaliação e que possam ser utilizados tanto para homens quanto para mulheres. A adaptação da Scale for Quality of Sexual Function (QSF), uma escala unissex, é um passo importante na obtenção de instrumentos que permitam a comparação de resultados entre diferentes populações. OBJETIVO: Descrever o processo de tradução e adaptação semântica da QSF para o português brasileiro. MÉTODOS: A adaptação do instrumento envolveu cinco fases: 1) duas traduções independentes, 2) uma versão de consenso realizada por tradutores e especialistas, 3) avaliação da versão gerada por mais um especialista que não participou das etapas anteriores, 4) retrotradução com avaliação do autor da escala original e, por fim, 5) aplicação da versão obtida em um grupo experimental. RESULTADOS: São descritas todas as etapas de adaptação do instrumento. A participação de especialistas tanto da área de saúde mental quanto de sexualidade humana, desde a primeira fase do processo, contribuiu para discussões amplas, que permitiram a melhor adequação dos itens, tanto conceitual quanto culturalmente. Participaram da aplicação experimental sujeitos de diferentes níveis de escolaridade de ambos os sexos, não sendo detectadas dificuldades na compreensão dos itens. CONCLUSÃO: Por meio dos procedimentos adotados, foi possível elaborar uma versão da QSF em português brasileiro.


INTRODUCTION: Despite the important role played by sexual function in quality of life, there is a scarcity of instruments in the Brazilian literature specifically designed to assess this aspect, and especially of instruments that can be used with both men and women. The adaptation of the Scale for Quality of Sexual Function (QSF), a unisex scale, is an important step in the production of instruments that allow to compare results obtained in different populations. OBJECTIVE: To describe the translation and semantic adaptation of the QSF into Brazilian Portuguese. METHODS: Instrument adaptation involved five phases: 1) two independent translations, 2) a consensual version produced by translators and experts, 3) evaluation of this version by a different expert, not involved in the previous phases, 4) back translation with evaluation by the author of the original scale, and, finally, 5) application of the final Brazilian Portuguese version in a experimental group. RESULTS: All stages of the adaptation process are described. The participation of experts from the fields of both mental health and human sexuality since the first stage of the process contributed to broader discussions, which allowed to achieve the best possible adequacy for each item, both conceptually and culturally. The experimental application of the final, adapted version of the scale involved both men and women with different educational backgrounds and levels. No difficulties were faced by this group in understanding the items included in the scale. CONCLUSION: The procedures and process herein described successfully allowed to develop a Brazilian Portuguese version of the QSF.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre o transtorno da excitação genital persistente (TEGP), um quadro clínico que acomete somente mulheres, recentemente descrito na literatura, caracterizado por sinais fisiológicos de excitação sexual sem a presença de desejos ou estímulos sexuais. MÉTODOS: Foi realizada revisão sistemática com busca nas bases científicas PubMed, ISI, SciELO e PsycInfo. Do total de artigos encontrados, 27 foram selecionados para integrar esta revisão. RESULTADOS: Os artigos, em sua maioria, são relatos de casos. Apesar de algumas hipóteses diagnósticas terem sido propostas, ainda não existe consenso sobre etiologia, fatores de risco e epidemiologia desse transtorno. A literatura aponta para uma correlação positiva entre a presença do transtorno e quadros depressivos, ansiosos e sintomas obsessivo-compulsivos. CONCLUSÃO: Há necessidade de estudos mais amplos para o melhor entendimento desse quadro clínico. É possível que muitos casos passem despercebidos pelos profissionais de saúde por desconhecimento dos critérios diagnósticos.


OBJECTIVE: To review the literature on persistent genital arousal disorder, a clinical syndrome that affects only women, recently described in the literature, characterized by symptoms of physiological arousal in the absence of desire or sexual stimulation. METHODS: We performed a systematic review and search of the scientific basis PubMed, ISI, SciELO and PsycInfo. Of the total number of articles found, 27 were selected to incorporate this review. RESULTS: Most articles are reports of cases. Although some diagnostic hypotheses have been proposed, there is no consensus yet on the etiology, risk factors, and epidemiology of the disorder. The literature suggests a positive relationship between the presence of the disorder and depression, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: There is a need for further studies for better understanding of this clinical picture. It is possible that many cases go unnoticed by health professionals for lack of knowledge of diagnostic criteria.
