Abstract

Objective: The aim of our study is to assess the degree of sexual dysfunction in the sexually active women diagnosed with the metabolic syndrome MS and to investigate the relationship between sexual function and metabolic syndrome. Method: Fifty-six women were included in this study. The patient group was composed of 37 patients meeting NCEPATP III criteria for MS whereas the control group involved 19 healthy women. The parciticipants' sexual fuction was assessed by “Index of Female Sexual Function” IFSF . Results: The mean age of the patients with MS was 38.38±9.6 years, whereas that of the control group was 35.95±7.64 years, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups. The IFSF score was 26.4±4.4 in the patient group and 27.5±5.2 in control group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding IFSF score. In the control group there is negative correlation between the IFSF score and the diastolic blood pressure r =0.460, p

Metabolik sendrom ve kadın cinsel fonksiyon bozukluğu arasındaki ilişki

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı, metabolik sendrom MS tanısı konan seksüel aktif kadınlarda cinsel fonksiyon bozukluğu CFB derecesini sağlıklı kadınlarla karşılaştırarak, kadın cinsel fonksiyon düzeyi ve MS arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya toplam 56 kadın hasta alındı. NCEP ATP III tanı kriterlerine göre MS tanısı konulan 37 hasta vaka grubu olarak, MS olmayan 19 hasta ise kontrol grubu olarak alındı. Cinsel işlev sorgulanmasında, Kadın Cinsel Fonksiyon Sorgulama İndeksi IFSF kullanıldı. Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması vaka grubunda 38.38±9.6, kontrol grubunda ise 35.95±7.64 olarak saptandı. Vaka ve kontrol grupları arasında yaş ortalamaları açısından istatistiksel anlamlı farklılık yoktu. Vaka grubunda IFSF skoru ortalaması 26.4±4.4, kontrol grubunda ise 27.5±5.2 olarak bulundu. Vaka ve kontrol grupları arasında IFSF skorları açısından istatistiksel anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı. Kontrol grubunda IFSF skoru ile diyastolik kan basıncı arasında orta düzeyde negatif korelasyon saptandı r =0.460, p
