[Psycho-social and sexology study of women with florid genital condylomatosis]. / Indagine psico-sociale e sessuologica in donne portatrici di condilomatosi florida genitale.

ABSTRACT

During the last 20 years studies about sexual transmitted diseases have introduced decisive changes in the knowledge of both their pathogenesis and pathology and their clinical treatment. Only nowadays the psychological aspects of the diseases have been taken into consideration. Our research studied particularly the life style of women affected by florid condylomatosis. In this regard we developed a questionnaire with both open and closed answers and we handed it out to a group of women affected by HPV and to an unaffected control group. We took into account different parameters, in order to outline the profile of personality, the life style, in Adlerian terms, of the women affected by HPV. Looking at the result of our research we can state that the female group affected by flourishing condylomatosis does not show relevant differences with the controls as to the economical, social and cultural parameters, the sexual habits and behaviour. Whereas the results show a particular, conscious and unconscious conflict, which expresses itself by means of contradictory interrelational behaviour and reactions.
