Metods: Forty-five postmenopausal women who were admitted to our clinic wifh menopausal complaints were interviewed. Seventy-four healthy women who were older than thirthy-nine years were included study as control group. All the participants were asked whether thy perceived any change on libido, orgasm, coital frequency and quality. Findings :Frequency of sexual intercourse was significantly decreased in postmenopausal patients than controls. No significant changes were found regarding sense of libido, orgasm and quality of sexual intercourse. Although absence of libido was not significantly changed in both groups, this complaint was found higher in postmenopausal group.

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırma menopoz döneminin cinsellik üzerine etkisini incelemeye yönelik tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel bir çalışma olarak planlanmıştır. Materyal ve Metod: Araştırma menopozal şikayetler nedeni ile HRT (hormon replasman tedavisi) kullanmak için başvuran, 45 gönüllü postmenopozal hasta ile yüz yüze görüşülerek yapılmıştır. Kontrol grubu ise 39 yaş üstünde, menopozal şikayeti olmayan 74 sağlıklı bireyden oluşmuştur. Hastalarda cinsel istek, ilişki sıklığı, ilişki kalitesi ve orgazm ile ilgili değişikliklerin olup olmadığı sorgulanmıştır. Bulgular: Premenopozal dönemdeki kadınların yaş ortalamaları 44/4.4 iken, postmenopozal dönemde bu oran 52/5.6 olarak bulunmuştur. Premenopoz ve postmenopoz dönem kadınların istatistiksel karşılaştırılmasında yaş, cinsel istek, ilişki kalitesi ve orgasm olma durumu arasında fark yoktur (p>0.05). Cinsel ilişki sıklığı premenopoz dönemde, postmenopoz döneme göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0.01). Cinsel istek yokluğu istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmamakla birlikte postmenopozal dönemde daha fazladır. Sonuçlar:Her iki grup arasında yaş açısından fark olmaması nedeni ile postmenopozal gruptaki cinsel ilişki sıklığındaki azalmanın temel nedeninin, menopoza bağlı değişiklikler olduğu düşünülmektedir.
