OBJECTIVE
Information about the sexual health care needs for midlife women is limited. This study compares and contrasts the nature and prevalence of sexual concerns for women as they progress through life and into menopause and the interest and experience these women have in discussing sexual concerns with their physicians.
METHODS
Questionnaires were mailed to 2073 eligible women at military medical clinics in the early 1990s. Main outcome measures are self-reported sexual concerns and interest and experience in discussing these concerns with their physicians.
RESULTS
Over 98% of women reported one or more sexual concerns. Type and intensity of sexual concerns changed as women aged. Most women had not had the topic of sexual health ever raised by their physicians.
CONCLUSIONS
The sexual health concerns of women change as they age. Women desire to address their sexual health care needs with their physicians. Physicians should be aware of the common sexual concerns of women, and be comfortable in initiating discussion to address them.
目的
关于中年女性性健康护理需求的信息有限。本研究比较并对比了女性在整个生命历程直至更年期过程中性方面担忧的性质和发生率，以及这些女性在与医生讨论性方面担忧时的兴趣和经历。
方法
20世纪90年代初，向军事医疗诊所的2073名符合条件的女性邮寄了问卷。主要结果指标是自我报告的性方面担忧以及与医生讨论这些担忧的兴趣和经历。
结果
超过98%的女性报告了一种或多种性方面的担忧。随着女性年龄增长，性方面担忧的类型和强度发生了变化。大多数女性的医生从未提及过性健康话题。
结论
女性的性健康担忧会随着年龄增长而变化。女性希望与医生讨论她们的性健康护理需求。医生应该了解女性常见的性方面担忧，并自如地开启相关讨论以解决这些问题。
