Função sexual de mulheres diagnosticadas com lesão de colo uterino

Abstract

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the third most frequent tumor in the female population, which, HPV infection is necessary for the onset of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Most infections heal spontaneously, but up to 20% of HPV infections persist, resulting in squamous intraepithelial lesions, with possible negative sexual repercussions related to the disease and to its treatments. Methodology: This is an observational epidemiological study of the cross-sectional type, with an analysis of the medical records of patients participating in a previous study, in which the sociodemographic and obstetrical gynecological data were collected and the FSFI questionnaire was used. Results: Of a total of 279 participants in the study, 29 took part in this study according to the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 37.51 ± 11.34 and the predominance was senior high school education, accounting for 55.2% of the population. The FSFI scores presented a mean of 23.74 (± 7.99), and the most affected domains were arousal (3.50 ± 1.27), lubrication (4.06 ± 1.97) and pain (4, 10 ± 1.20). Conclusion: The results of the present study show a significant difference regarding the presence of sexual dysfunction in patients who had not undergone surgical treatment compared to those who had. We emphasize the importance of further studies covering female sexual dysfunction and cervical lesions, and the need to observe the influence of the specialties involved in the treatment on the recovery of these patients.(sic)
