ABSTRACT
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to associate the degree of infiltration of rectovaginal septum endometriosis with dyspareunia and sexual function.METHODS:
A cross-sectional study was carried out with 127 women followed up at a tertiary hospital from March 2021 to March 2022. The women's sociodemographic and clinical conditions and dyspareunia were evaluated. The sexual function was evaluated by the Female Sexual Function Index.RESULTS:
A total of 53 women with type I, 37 with type II, and 37 with type III rectovaginal septum endometriosis were evaluated. The women had a mean age of 38.76±6.63 years and a mean body mass index of 27.62±5.11 kg/m2. The mean time of diagnosis of endometriosis was 6.94±4.98 years. On average, the study participants engaged in sexual activity/intercourse 1.88±1.25 times per week. There was no difference between the dyspareunia score (p=0.822) and sexual function (p=0.174) according to the types of rectovaginal septum endometriosis. Overall, 93.7% of the women with endometriosis had sexual dysfunction. There was no correlation between the degree of rectovaginal septum endometriosis infiltration with dyspareunia (r=0.05; p=0.55) or sexual function (r=0.07; p=0.39).CONCLUSION:
Women with endometriosis have impaired sexual function, regardless of the degree of endometriosis infiltration.
