Abstract

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate female sexual function according to the infective agent causing a vaginal discharge. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the effects of 3 different agents on female sexual function.MATERIAL and METHODS: In this prospective, nonrandomized study, a pap-smear was taken from 230 patients who presented with complaints of vaginal discharge. The patients were separated into groups according to the pap-smear results. Patients that presented as normal or with inflammation formed the control group (Group 1, n: 122), and study groups were formed of those presenting with trichomonas (Group 2, n: 27), bacterial vaginosis (Group 3, n: 40) and candidiasis (Group 4, n: 41). Patients with a total score of ≤26.55 were classified as having a female sexual dysfunction.RESULTS: No statistically significant difference was determined between the groups with respect to total female sexual function index scores and the subdimensions of desire, arousal, wetness, orgasm, satisfaction and pain, and the total number of female sexual dysfunction patients (p>0.05). The number of patients with odorous, colored discharge (white, yellow, green) and itching was significantly higher in Group 1 than in the other groups (p<0.01). In the logistic regression analysis, risk factors for female sexual dysfunction were determined as white-colored vaginal discharge, an education level (middle school and high school) and employment.CONCLUSION: Vaginal discharge caused by trichomonas, bacterial vaginosis, and candidiasis was not observed to have any effect on female sexual function. There is still no clarification on the subject of vaginal discharge causing female sexual dysfunction.

Özet

AMAÇ: Vajinal akıntıya neden olan enfeksiyon ajanına göre kadın cinsel fonksiyonlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Bizim bildiğimiz kadarıyla, en sık görülen üç farklı ajanın kadın cinsel fonksiyonları üzerine etkisini değerlendiren ilk prospektif çalışmadır.GEREÇ ve YÖNTEMLER: Prospektif non-randomize çalışmamızda va-jinal akıntı şikâyetiyle başvuran 230 hastadan pap-smear alındı. Pap-smear sonucu normal veya inflamasyon olarak raporlanan hastalar kont-rol grubunu (Grup 1, n: 122) oluştururken trikomonas (Grup 2, n: 27), bakteriyel vajinozis (BV) (Grup 3, n: 40) ve kandidiyazis olarak raporla-nan hastalar (Grup 4, n: 41) çalışma grubunu oluşturdu. Toplam skorun ≤26,55 olması kadın seksüel disfonksiyonu (FSD) olarak kabul edildi.BULGULAR: Gruplar total FSFI ve subgruplar olan istek, uyarılma, ıslanma, orgazm, tatmin, ağrı skorları açısından ve toplam FSD hasta sayıları açısından karşılaştırıldığında istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmadı (p>0,05). Koku, renkli akıntı (beyaz, sarı, yeşil) ve kaşıntı tarifleyen hasta sayısı Grup 1’de istatiksel anlamlı olarak yüksek tespit edildi (p<0,01). Lojistik regresyon analizinde beyaz renkli vajinal akıntı, eğitim seviyesi (ortaokul ve lise) ve çalışıyor olmak FSD için risk faktörü olarak belirlendi.SONUÇ: Vajinal akıntıya neden olan trikomonas, BV ve kandidiyazisin kadın cinsel fonksiyonları üzerinde, FSD açısından bir fark yaratmadığı görüldü. Günümüzde vajinal akıntının FSD’ye neden olduğu konusu hala netlik kazanmamıştır.
