Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is central nervous system disease which is presented with motor sensorial and cognitive impairment. Despite being a neurologic disease by reason of concomitanat psychiatric complaints it is concerned by psychiatry. 78 MS patients( 53 female,25male) and 62 healthy subjects participated in this study.Beck depresion inventory (BDI) and Beck anxiety inventory (BAI) was meaningfully high among patients (p=0,0002; p=0,0004 respectively). In the female patient group, GRISS subscales vaginismus, orgasm disturbance in the male group low sexual intercourse frequency, impotance, premature ejeculation were high (p=0,005, p=0,00006; p=0,008 respectively). Total scale points were high in two groups(p=0,03, p=0,00004). In the literature depresion and and anxiety was high in the patient group similiar with our study. Like as many studies in our study sexual disfunction was high in MS patients. As this problem affects the life quality and family relationship of the patients we think it is important to question and to reveal the sexual disfunction.

Özet

Multipl sklerozis (MS) motor, duyusal ve kognitif bozuklukla seyreden santral sinir sistemi hastalığıdır . Nörolojik hastalık olmasına rağmen psikiyatrik yakınmaların da eşlik etmesi nedeniyle psikiyatriyi de ilgilendirmektedir. Çalışmamaıza, 78 MS hastası( 53 kadın,25 erkek) ve 62 sağlıklı kontrol grubu ( 29 kadın, 33 erkek) katılmıştır. Hasta grubunda Beck Depresyon envanteri (BDE) ve Beck anksiyete envanteri (BAE) anlamlı olarak yüksekti (sırasıyla p=0,0002; p=0,0004). Kadın hastalarda GRISS alt ölçeklerinden vajinismus, orgazm bozukluğu (sırasıyla p=0,02, p=0,02),erkelerde ise cinsel ilişki sıklığında azalma, empotans, erken boşalma hasta grubunda daha sıktı (sırasıyla p=0,005, p=0,00006; p=0,008) ve her iki grubunda toplam ölçek puanlarında kontrol grubuna göre anlamlılık belirgindi (p=0,03, p=0,00004). Literatür incelendiğinde bizim çalışmamıza benzer olarak depresyon ve anksiyete düzeylerinin hasta grubunda daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Birçok çalışmada olduğu gibi bizim çalışmamızda da cinsel işlev bozukluğuna MS hastalarında daha sık rastlanmıştır. Bu sorunun kişilerin yaşam kalitelerini, aile içi ilişkilerini etkilediği düşünülürse cinsel işlev bozukluğunun sorgulanması ve ortaya çıkarılmasının önemli olduğu düşüncesindeyiz.
