Abstract

Objective: The frequency of detecting cervical dysplasias using cervical screening programs significantly increased nowadays. Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) is one of the most common methods used for the treatment of servical dysplasias. In this study, we investigated the effect of LEEP on female sexual functions Methods: Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) which has been reported as a reliable and valid measure also in our country was used to examine the female sexual functions in this study. Sexually active patients who were planned to be treated with LEEP were interrogated using FSFI, which includes subgroups of sexual desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain, and at 6. months of their follow-up, the same form was completed , and sexual function investigated. Results: In this study 35 patients treated with LEEP were investigated. The median age was 41 (range 29-52), and median parity was 2, while 60% of the patients were smokers. The mean of total FSFI scores before LEEP was 24.9±5.3, while it was 23.9±6.0 6 months after LEEP (p:0.121). In particular, the average sexual desire scores were found to be markedly lower before and after the procedure (respectively 3.3 and 3.2). Conclusion: Sexual dysfunction, especially deficient sexual desire, plays an important role in patients with cervical dysplasia treated with LEEP. However, there was no significant difference in the sexual functions of patients before and after LEEP.

Özet

Amaç: Servikal kanser tarama testleri ile günümüzde servikal displazi saptanma sıklığı artmıştır. Servikal displazilerin tedavisinde kullanılan en yaygın yöntemlerden biri Loop Elektrocerrahi Eksizyonel Prosedür (LEEP)’dür. Bu çalışmada, LEEP’in kadın cinsel fonksiyonları üzerine etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Kadın cinsel işlev bozukluğunu saptama amaçlı ülkemizde de kullanımının güvenirliği kanıtlanmış ve geçirli bir ölçek olan Kadın Cinsel İşlev Ölçeği (Female Sexual Functioining Index-FSFI) kullanılmıştır. LEEP uygulanması planlanan seksüel aktif hastalara, LEEP öncesinde cinsel istek, uyarılma, orgazm, doyum ve ağrı alt gruplarını içeren FSFI ile sorgulanmış, takiplerindeki 6. ayda yine aynı ölçek doldurularak cinsel işlev bozukluğu araştırılması yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Bu çalışmada, LEEP yapılan 35 hasta incelenmiştir. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 40,6±5,3 (aralık 29-52), ortalama pariteleri 2 olarak bulunmuştur. Hastaların %60’ında sigara kullanımı mevcuttur. İncelenen hasta gruplarının LEEP öncesi ortalama toplam FSFI skorları 24,9±5,3 iken, LEEP sonrası 23,9±6,0 olarak bulunmuştur (p:0,121). Özellikle işlem öncesi ve sonrası cinsel istek skorlarının belirgin düşük olduğu saptanmıştır (sırasıyla 3,3; 3,2). Sonuç: Serval displazi nedeni ile LEEP yapılan hastalarda özellikle cinsek istek azlığı başta olmak üzere cinsel fonksiyon bozukluğu önem göstermektedir. Hastaların LEEP öncesi ve sonrası değerlendirilen cinsel fonksiyonlarında anlamlı değişiklik saptanmamıştır.
