ABSTRACT
Purpose:
Female sexual dysfunction is defined as a disorder of sexual desire, arousal, or orgasm, and/or sexual pain, resulting in personal distress that impacts on the quality of life and interpersonal relationships. It is a compilation of problems that has both biological and psychosocial components and is multifactorial in its etiology. In this study, the female sexual dysfunction in overactive bladder (OAB) patients was evaluated. Materials andMethods:
The subjects included 63 female who visited our health care center for health medical examinations without voiding symptoms (control group) and 37 female patients with OAB. All patients were asked to complete the Brief index of sexual functioning for women (BISF-W), which had been translated into Korean. The Beck depression inventory (BDI) and State-Trait anxiety inventory (STAI) were also used to assess the relationship between the sexual dysfunction and anxiety or depression. The results were analyzed statistically by ANCOVA using age as a covariant.Results:
The mean ages in the OAB and control groups were 35.47+/-6.76 and 42.70+/-9.68 years, respectively. The mean scores of desire in the OAB and control groups were 3.92+/-3.09 and 8.92+/-4.99, for arousal were 6.78+/-3.85 and 11.06+/-5.60, frequency of sexual activity 3.92+/-5.24 and 8.53+/-4.52, receptivity/initiation 10.08+/-3.71 and 11.47+/-4.91, orgasm 13.19+/-6.97 and 19.72+/-7.36, relationship satisfaction 7.12+/-1.68 and 7.11+/-1.88 and physical problems affecting sexual function 12.14+/-6.17, 11.83+/-5.05, respectively. The OAB group shows decreased sexual desire, arousal, frequency of sexual activity and orgasm compared to the control group (p<0.05). However, there were no differences in anxiety or depression between the two groups and there was no sexual dysfunction due to anxiety or depression in either group.Conclusions:
Female sexual dysfunction was more common in OAB patients than the controls. OAB is one of the important factor affecting female sexual dysfunction. Consideration should be given with regard to female sexual dysfunction in patients with OAB.Key words
