Sexologists have described the urethrovaginal space (UVS) as a region of the body involved in the female orgasm. Recently certain authors have described the UVS via ultrasound (US). Pregnancy is associated with a myriad of physiological, anatomical and biochemical changes. To measure the UVS thickness in the third trimester of pregnancy and to investigate the relationship between the UVS thickness and the presence of vaginal orgasm.
Sexually active pregnant patients in the third trimester were included. We measured the UVS via US. Each patient compiled a modified female sexual function index (FSFI) questionnaire and was categorized in group with or without vaginal orgasm. Association between vaginal orgasm and UVS thickness was evaluated via t-test and ROC curve analysis.
UVS thickness resulted greater than 15 mm (average) in the third trimester, and was not related to the presence of vaginal orgasm (p>0.05).
UVS thickness is high in the third trimester of pregnancy but it is not related to the presence of vaginal orgasm.
性学家将尿道阴道间隙(UVS)描述为女性性高潮所涉及的身体区域。最近,一些作者通过超声(US)对UVS进行了描述。妊娠与众多生理、解剖和生化变化相关。测量妊娠晚期的UVS厚度,并研究UVS厚度与阴道性高潮之间的关系。
纳入妊娠晚期有性生活的孕妇。我们通过超声测量UVS。每位患者填写一份改良的女性性功能指数(FSFI)问卷,并被分为有或无阴道性高潮组。通过t检验和ROC曲线分析评估阴道性高潮与UVS厚度之间的关联。
妊娠晚期UVS厚度大于15mm(平均),且与阴道性高潮的存在无关(p>0.05)。
妊娠晚期UVS厚度较高,但与阴道性高潮的存在无关。
