Abstract

Objective: Dissatisfaction with body image may extend to the genital region, and the most dissatisfied with their bodies are women. To analyze the relationbetween body image and genital image in female, and to verify demographic and/or clinical factors related to body image and genital image.Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study in 421 women. The Body Shape Questionnaire-34 (BSQ-34) was used to evaluate body imageperception; scores ≤110 indicate no dissatisfaction. Also, the female genital self-image scale-7 (FGSIS-7) was used to evaluate genital self-image; scoresrange between 7 and 28, with higher values considered to indicate a more positive genital self-image. The relation between body image and genital imagewas determined using the Pearson Correlation test, as well as the relation of these with body mass index (BMI) and age. The relation between these data andgenital image was determined by using the ANOVA test or the independent t-test (statistical difference was accepted as p

Özet

Amaç: Vücut görüntüsü ile ilgili memnuniyetsizlik genital bölgeye kadar uzanabilmektedir ve vücutlarından en çok memnuniyetsiz olanlar kadınlardır. Bu çalışmada, kadınlarda vücut görüntüsü ve genital görüntü arasındaki ilişkinin analiz edilmesi ve vücut görüntüsü ve genital görüntü ile ilgili demografik ve/veya klinik faktörlerin doğrulanması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Dört yüz yirmi bir kadında kesitsel çalışma yürütülmüştür. Beden Şekli Anketi-34’te (BSQ-34) beden imajı algısında memnuniyetsizlik olmadığını gösteren puan ≤110 olarak alınmış; 7-28 arasında bir skor sistemine sahip olan kadın genital öz-imaj ölçeği-7’de (FGSIS-7) daha yüksek değerlerin daha pozitif bir genital öz-imajı gösterdiği düşünülmüştür. Birleşmiş görüntü ve genital görüntü arasındaki ilişki ile birlikte bunların vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) ve yaş ile ilişkisi Pearson Korelasyon testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bu veriler ve genital görüntü arasındaki ilişki ANOVA testi veya bağımsız ttesti kullanılarak belirlenmiştir (buna karşın istatistiksel fark p
