ABSTRACT
This retrospective cohort study identifies differences between rates of selected mental illnesses and sleep disorders according to eight gynecological problems. Analyses utilize medical claims data for adult employees of a large corporation during 2017-2021. Women with a gynecological problem (most notably pain, endometriosis, pelvic inflammation and bleeding) are significantly more likely to experience mental illness. Several gynecological problems are also significantly associated with sleep disorders. Women with a gynecological problem (vs. none) are 50% more likely to have a mental health problem and 44% more likely to have a sleep disorder after adjusting for age, marital status, dependent children and year. The largest differences between higher (%) mental illness and sleep disorders appear for hyperplasia (6% vs. 45%), cancer (11% vs. 68%), pelvic inflammation (46% vs. 79%) and pain (79% vs. 43%), respectively. On the other hand, the rate of having one or more gynecological problems ranges from 7.1% for women with no mental illness or sleep disorder to 20.6% for women with schizophrenia. Understanding the association between gynecological problems, mental illness and sleep disorders can help clinicians more effectively identify and treat patients.
