ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Sexual function is a multidimensional phenomenon that is affected by many biological and psychological factors. Cognitive-behavioral sex therapies are among themost common nonpharmacological approaches to psychosexual problems. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of psychoeducational and cognitive-behavioral counseling on female sexual dysfunction. Methods The present study was a clinical trial with intervention and control groups. The study population consisted of women referring to the general clinic of a governmental hospital in Iran. After completing the demographic questionnaire and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), those who obtained the cutoff score ≤ 28 were contacted and invited to participate in the study. Convenience sampling method was used and 35 subjects were randomly allocated for each group. Eight counseling sessions were held for the intervention group (two/week/1.5 hour). Post-test was taken from both groups after 1 month, and the results were statistically analyzed by PASW Statistics for Windows, Version 18 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results The total mean scores of FSFI and the subscales of sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, and satisfaction were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group after the intervention. In addition, postintervention pain mean scores in the intervention group were significantly lower than in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion The results of the present study indicate that psychoeducational cognitive- behavioral counseling is effective in improving female sexual function. It is recommended to compare the effects of psychoeducational cognitive-behavioral counseling on sexual dysfunctions of couples and with a larger sample size in future research.

ABSTRACT

Las mujeres han sido tratadas por décadas con testosterona intentando aliviar una gran variedad de síntomas con riesgos y beneficios inciertos. En la mayoría de los países, la testosterona se prescribe "off-label", de modo que las mujeres están utilizando compuestos y dosis ideadas para tratamientos en hombres. En este sentido, varias sociedades médicas de distintos continentes adoptaron recientemente por consenso una toma de posición sobre los beneficios y potenciales riesgos de la terapia con testosterona en la mujer, explorar las áreas de incertidumbre e identificar prácticas de prescripción con potencial de causar daño. Las recomendaciones con respecto a los beneficios y riesgos de la terapia con testosterona se basan en los resultados de ensayos clínicos controlados con placebo de al menos 12 semanas de duración. A continuación se comentan las recomendaciones. (AU)


There are currently no clear established indications for testosterone replacement therapy for women. Nonetheless, clinicians have been treating women with testosterone to alleviate a variety of symptoms for decades with uncertainty regarding its benefits and risks. In most countries, testosterone therapy is prescribed off-label, which means that women are using testosterone formulations or compounds approved for men with a modified dose for women. Due to these issues, there was a need for a global Consensus Position Statement on testosterone therapy for women based on the available evidence from placebo randomized controlled trials (RCTs). This Position Statement was developed to inform health care professionals about the benefits and potential risks of testosterone therapy intended for women. The aim of the Consensus was to provide clear guidance as to which women might benefit from testosterone therapy; to identify symptoms, signs, and certain conditions for which the evidence does not support the prescription of testosterone; to explore areas of uncertainty, and to identify any prescribing practices that have the potential to cause harm.

ABSTRACT

Muitas vezes, as Disfunções Sexuais Femininas (DSF) são subdiagnosticadas, têm causas multifatoriais e não recebem devida atenção para o tratamento. Estas disfunções podem se manifestar em qualquer idade, sobretudo em mulheres adultas e idosas, e de diferentes formas. Para ajudar essa mulher na resolução do seu problema, o ideal é que profissionais especializados em saúde sexual a aborde, cada um em sua área de atuação. Além de apoio médico e psicológico, a fisioterapia tem papel fundamental na reabilitação sexual da dor genitopélvica/desordens da penetração (vulvodínea, vestibulodínea, dispareunia e vaginismo). O fisioterapeuta utiliza recursos como terapia manual, cinesioterapia, eletroestimulação, biofeedback, eletromiografia, cones vaginais e dilatadores na conduta terapêutica para essas disfunções. A literatura ainda apresenta-se restrita neste tema, mas é possível afirmar que a fisioterapia pélvica, se bem conduzida, é resolutiva, proporcionando satisfação e melhora da qualidade de vida da mulher.(AU)


Often, Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) is underdiagnosed, have multifactorial causes and do not receive adequate attention for treatment. These dysfunctions may appear at any age, especially in adult and elderly women, and in different ways. To help this woman in the resolution of her problem, the ideal is that professionals specialized in sexual health address her, each one in its area of operation. In addition to medical and psychological support, physiotherapy plays a key role in sexual rehabilitation genito-p-elvic pain/penetration disorders (vulvodynea, vestibulodynea, dyspareunia and vaginismus). The physical therapist works with manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, electrical stimulation, biofeedback, electromyography, vaginal cones and dilators in the therapeutic approach. The literature also presents restricted in this area, but we can say that the pelvic physical therapy, if well conducted, is resolute, providing satisfaction and improving quality of life of women.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Sexual pleasure is fundamental for the maintenance of health and well-being, but it may be adversely affected by medical and psychosocial conditions. Many patients only feel that their health is fully restored after they resume normal sexual activities. Any discussion of sexuality in a doctor's office is typically limited, mainly because of a lack of models or protocols available to guide the discussion of the topic. Objectives To present a model designed to guide gynecologists in the management of female sexual complaints. Methods This study presents a protocol used to assess women's sexual problems. A semi-structured interview is used to assess sexual function, and the teaching, orienting and permitting (TOP) intervention model that was designed to guide gynecologists in the management of sexual complaints. Results The use of protocols may facilitate the discussion of sexual issues in gynecological settings, and has the potential to provide an effective approach to the complex aspects of sexual dysfunction in women. The TOP model has three phases: teaching the sexual response, in which the gynecologist explains the physiology of the female sexual response, and focuses on the three main phases thereof (desire, excitement and orgasm); orienting a woman toward sexual health, in which sexual education is used to provide information on the concept and healthy experience of sexuality; and permitting and stimulating sexual pleasure, which is based on the assumption that sexual pleasure is an individual right and is important for the physical and emotional well-being. Conclusion The use of protocols may provide an effective approach to deal with female sexual dysfunction in gynecological offices.


Resumo Introdução O prazer sexual é fundamental para a manutenção da saúde e do bem-estar da mulher, mas pode ser afetado negativamente por condições médicas e psicossociais. Em muitos casos, a mulher sente que sua saúde geral é restaurada após retomar sua vida sexual. Porém, a discussão sobre função sexual no consultório do ginecologista é limitada devido à falta de modelos ou protocolos disponíveis para orientar a intervenção neste tema. Objetivos Apresentar um modelo de intervenção nas disfunções sexuais femininas para ser utilizado pelo ginecologista. Métodos Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura com levantamento de estudos sobre o manejo das disfunções sexuais femininas nas diferentes culturas. A partir desta revisão, foi elaborado um protocolo que consiste da história clínica e de um modelo de intervenção para orientar os ginecologistas no tratamento das queixas sexuais femininas. Resultados O uso de protocolos pode facilitar a discussão sobre questões sexuais pelo ginecologista, e pode fornecer uma abordagem eficaz para lidar com os aspectos complexos da disfunção sexual feminina. O modelo proposto, ensinar, orientar e permitir (EOP), tem três fases: ensinar sobre a resposta sexual, na qual o ginecologista explica a fisiologia da resposta sexual feminina, e se concentra nas suas três principais fases (desejo, excitação e orgasmo); orientar sobre saúde sexual para fornecer informações sobre vivência saudável da sexualidade; e permitir a estimulação do prazer sexual, que é um direito individual e importante para o bem-estar físico e emocional do indivíduo. Conclusão O uso de protocolos pode fornecer uma abordagem eficaz para o ginecologista lidar com a disfunção sexual feminina.

ABSTRACT

Cuando hablamos de sexualidad humana debemos saber que estamos hablando de una compleja y cambiante interacción de factores biológicos y socioemocionales altamente influenciables por la familia, la religión y los patrones culturales. Esto se ve en los hombres y en las mujeres, especialmente en las mujeres. La sexualidad es un concepto intuitivo que cuesta definir. Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud, se define salud sexual como "un estado de bienestar físico, emocional, mental y social relacionado con la sexualidad, la cual no es solamente la ausencia de enfermedad, disfunción o incapacidad". Es una definición que tiene en cuenta varios conceptos, muy importantes todos ellos. La respuesta sexual consiste en una serie de cambios neurofisiológicos, hemodinámicos y hormonales que involucran al conjunto del organismo. Si bien es similar en ambos sexos, en las mujeres no siempre el inicio y la progresión se correlacionan en forma sistemática o lineal como en los hombres. Y de ese intrigante devenir de la respuesta sexual femenina surge la dificultad del diagnóstico de la "disfunción sexual femenina". Podríamos resumirla en "un conjunto de trastornos en los que los problemas fisiológicos o psicológicos dificultan la participación o la satisfacción en las actividades sexuales; lo cual se traduce en la incapacidad de una persona para participar en una relación sexual de la forma que le gustaría hacerlo"16. La menopausia es percibida por muchas mujeres como el fin de la sexualidad, y no solo como el fin de la vida reproductiva. Si bien es cierto que en esta etapa la actividad sexual suele declinar y puede verse afectada por una serie de factores hormonales, psicológicos y socioculturales, para la mayoría de las mujeres la sexualidad sigue siendo importante. Debemos comprender que la disfunción sexual femenina, en cualquier etapa de la vida, es multicausal y multidimensional. A la hora de realizar el abordaje de una paciente, debemos tener en cuenta todos los factores involucrados y saber con qué herramientas contamos. El abordaje terapéutico clásicamente incluye la terapia psicológica y la terapia hormonal. Sin embargo, recientemente se ha incorporado una nueva droga recientemente aprobada por la FDA de los Estados Unidos para el tratamiento del deseo sexual hipoactivo en la mujer: el flibanserín, un psicofármaco que actúa a nivel de mediadores del deseo sexual en el sistema nervioso central, favoreciéndolo. (AU)


When we talk about human sexuality, we know that we are talking about a complex and changing interaction between biological and socioemotional factors, which are highly influenced by society, family, religion and cultural norms. This can be seen in men and women especially in women. Sexuality is an intuitive concept difficult to define. According to the World Health Organization, it is defined as "A state of physical, emotional, mental and social well being related to sexuality, which is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or disabilityˮ. It is a definition that takes into account several concepts, all very important. Sexual response is a series of neurophysiological, hemodynamic and hormonal changes involving the whole body. While similar in both sexes, women are not always the onset and progression correlate systematically or linearly as in men. And that intriguing evolution of the female sexual response, the difficulty of diagnosis of "female sexual dysfunctionˮ. We could summarize it in "a group of disorders in which the physiological or psychological problems impede participation or satisfaction in sexual activities; which results in the inability of a person to participate in a sexual relationship the way she or he would like to do itˮ16. Menopause is perceived by many women as to the end of sexuality, not only as the end of reproductive life. Sexual activity declines with age, and may be affected by a number of hormonal, psychological and sociocultural factors, but, for most women it continues to be important. We must understand that female sexual dysfunction, at any stage of life is multicausal and multidimensional. When approaching a patient, it is important to know all the factors that are involved, and which tools we have for deal with it. Classically, the therapeutic approach has consisted of psychological therapy and hormone therapy. However, we have to consider a recently approved drug by the FDA for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire in women: Flibanserin. It is a psychotropic substance that acts on the mediators of sexual desire on the central nervous system favoring it. (AU)

ABSTRACT

O câncer de mama e seu tratamento afetam amplamente a sexualidade das mulheres acometidas. O impacto pode durar vários anos, mesmo após um tratamento bem-sucedido para a doença, decorrente dos diversos efeitos colaterais da terapêutica e dos eventos psíquicos resultantes do processo. Estudos mostram alterações físicas decorrentes da quimioterapia, hormonioterapia e tratamento cirúrgico que interferem na sexualidade, promovendo distúrbios no funcionamento sexual em suas diferentes fases, como desejo, excitação, lubrificação e orgasmo. Experiências psíquicas incluem medo da perda da fertilidade, imagem corporal negativa, sentimento de não ser sexualmente atraente, depressão e ansiedade, enquanto fatores sociais e relacionais exercem influência sobre o ajuste ao tratamento e à doença. A qualidade prévia do relacionamento com o parceiro é considerada o mais importante fator preditivo da qualidade do relacionamento sexual após o término do tratamento. Conclui-se que o estudo da sexualidade no contexto do câncer de mama não pode considerar separadamente os aspectos físicos dos psicossociais, e que a identificação das causas dos diferentes tipos de disfunção sexual neste subgrupo possibilita o desenvolvimento de intervenções fisiológicas e psicossociais que contribuam para a manutenção da qualidade da atividade sexual.(AU)


Breast cancer and its treatment widely affect the sexuality of female patients. The impact may last for several years, even after successful treatment of the disease, due to the many side effects of the treatment and psychical events that emerge from the process. Studies refer to physical changes derived from chemotherapy, hormone therapy and surgical treatment, that intervenes in the sexuality, promoting disturbances regarding sexuality in different phases, such as desire, arousal, lubrication and orgasm. Psychical experiences include fear of losing fertility, negative body image, feeling of not being sexually attractive, depression and anxiety, while social and relational factors affect the adjustment to the treatment and the disease. The previous quality of the relationship with the partner is considered the most important predictive factor of the quality of sexual relationship after the treatment. We conclude that the study of sexuality in the context of breast cancer must consider both physical and psychosocial aspects, and that identifying the causes of different types of sexual dysfunction in this subgroup will enable the development of physiological and psychosocial interventions that may contribute to maintaining the quality of sexual activity of the patients.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Disfunção sexual feminina refere-se à alteração do interesse pela atividade sexual, à dificuldade com a excitação subjetiva e/ou genital e em desencadear o desejo durante o envolvimento sexual, à disfunção do orgasmo e da dor à relação sexual, bem como à impossibilidade de relaxamento vaginal (para permitir a penetração). O conceito atual de função sexual valoriza o aspecto responsivo do desejo feminino, desencadeado por estímulo e contexto sexual adequados. O diagnóstico deve considerar história médica, psicossocial e sexual, contexto atual, passado e do início da dificuldade, resposta sexual atual e participação do parceiro. Medo de perder o controle, de resultados negativos,dificuldade em permanecer atenta ao momento presente e falta ou informação insuficiente sobre a resposta sexual feminina são frequentes. Para tratar as disfunções sexuais femininas, recomenda-se abordagem multidisciplinar, visto que apenas o tratamento medicamentoso é insuficiente. Inicia-se pela melhora do bem-estar emocional e físico. Segue-se a abordagem da resposta sexual, anatomia e fisiologia genital básicas, orientação sobre atividades e estimulação sexual diferentes do coito e técnicas que facilitem a excitação. Idade e expectativas realistas devem ser abordadas. Algumas intervenções aumentam a conscientização das sensações prazerosas e dos sinais sexuais emitidos pelo corpo,promovem a exploração do corpo e da genitália. Exercícios de autoconsciência têm apresentado bons resultados, assim como modalidades tradicionais de terapia sexual. Terapias de tempo limitado têm mostrado eficiência a custo menor do que processos terapêuticos prolongados. Muitas mulheres podem melhorar a atividade sexual apenas com a criação de um contexto apropriado para a aquisição de informações básicas sobre o funcionamento e a resposta sexual, enquanto outras precisam de intervenções psicoterapêuticas mais complexas.

ABSTRACT

A disfunção sexual tem alta prevalência entre as mulheres. Constitui um problema que afeta a qualidade de vida e a saúde física e mental, não somente dos indivíduos que sofrem da disfunção, mas também de seus parceiros, justificando o tratamento e o estudo dessa disfunção com a sua devida importância pelos serviços de saúde. A fisioterapia é um avanço relativamente recente no tratamento dessas mulheres, e seu papel exato é pouco conhecido pela população e pelos profissionais de saúde. O presente estudo constitui um levantamento bibliográfico sobre o papel da fisioterapia no tratamento da disfunção sexual feminina


Sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent among women. It is a problem that affects the quality of life, physical and mental health, not only of individuals who suffer from the dysfunction, but also their partners, justifying the treatment and study of this dysfunction due to its importance by the health services. Physical therapy is a relatively recent development in the treatment of these women, and its exact role is little known by the population and health professionals. This study is a literature survey on the role of physiotherapy in the treatment of female sexual dysfunction

ABSTRACT

Após o sucesso de vendas do Viagra, medicamento indicado para o tratamento da disfunção erétil, lançado em 1998, houve uma rápida proliferação de artigos, livros e encontros sobre as disfunções sexuais femininas. Desde 2000, um intenso debate sobre o envolvimento da indústria farmacêutica na produção biomédica sobre as disfunções sexuais femininas e a concomitante busca por um medicamento similar ao Viagra destinado às mulheres tem envolvido profissionais de diferentes disciplinas. Esta dissertação teve como objetivo investigar os discursos científicos sobre as disfunções sexuais femininas, através do exame dos artigos publicados no periódico Archives of Sexual Behavior, desde sua fundação, em 1971, até 2007. O periódico foi escolhido por sua legitimidade neste campo de saberes, por abranger um amplo período (36 anos) e seu caráter multidisciplinar. Pretendeu-se investigar quando, como e por quais grupos profissionais as disfunções sexuais femininas foram descritas e abordadas no periódico. No caso das chamadas disfunções sexuais, as descrições científicas, que vêm aumentando significativamente nos últimos anos, dão origem a prescrições de terapias, medicamentos, intervenções cirúrgicas, programas de educação sexual e políticas públicas. Ou seja, subjacente a esse discurso, que afirma ser empírico e imparcial, estão processos que se encontram muito além dos limites de um laboratório ou das atividades de um pesquisador. Buscou-se, assim, pensar a produção científica como produto de articulações e negociações que se desenrolam em esferas diversas, envolvendo processos culturais, sociais, econômicos e também cognitivos ou científicos, em contraposição às concepções que caracterizam a ciência como um projeto que apenas revela verdades...


After the sale success of Viagra, a medicament indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, which was launched in 1998, there was a fast proliferation of articles, books and meetings on female sexual dysfunctions. Since 2000, an intense debate about the involvement of the pharmaceutical industry in the biomedical production related to female sexual dysfunctions and the simultaneous search for a medicament similar to Viagra aimed to women has been involving professional from different areas. The goal of this dissertation was to investigate scientificdiscourses on female sexual dysfunctions through the analysis of articles published in the periodical Archives of Sexual Behavior, since its foundation in 1971 until 2007. The periodical was chosen due to its legitimacy in this field of knowledge, for covering a vast period (36 years)and for its multidisciplinary nature. The intention was to locate when, how and by which professional groups female sexual dysfunctions were described and dealt with in the periodical. In the case of the so-called sexual dysfunctions, scientific descriptions, which have beensignificantly increasing in recent years, originate therapeutic prescriptions, medicaments, chirurgical interventions, sexual education programs and public policies. That is, subjacent to thisdiscourse, which poses as empirical and impartial processes were found that reach quite beyond the limits of a lab or the activities of a researcher. Therefore, the aim was to think of the scientificproduction as a product of articulations and negotiations unfolded in diversified domains and involving cultural, social and economical processes, as well as cognitive and scientific ones, in contrast to the conceptions that characterize science as a project that only brings about the truth. For this, the context in which a science of sexuality emerged throughout the 19th Century waspresented, followed by the context in...

ABSTRACT

Premature ejaculation [PE] is a common problem in the male sexual dysfunction. Behavioral therapy had been used for many years to treat PE. In recent years many studies have indicated the beneficial effects of medications in the management of PE. Using only medication for treatment of PE. In this open-label study 16 patients with PE attending my private clinic were treated with flouxetine 20 mg/ day in a single morning oral dose for one month. The response was dramatic, as 31% of patients improved within the first week, and 75% of patients improved within the second week, while all the patients [100%] improved at one month. Flouxetine could be used for treatment of PE. Further studies are essential to prove whether patients get cured
