In gynecologic cancer survivors, female sexual dysfunction (FSD) remains under-investigated. We attempted to estimate the prevalence of FSD associated with distress in gynecologic cancer survivors using diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders fifth edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria and to identify women at risk for FSD.
We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of premenopausal women aged 20-50 with various gynecologic cancers at least one year after treatment between January 2017 and December 2019. Data of sociodemographics and physical conditions were collected via face-to-face interview during outpatient clinic visits. The domains we used to define FSD were based on DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. Statistical analysis was carried out using Student's t test, Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression.
A total of 126 gynecologic cancer survivors with a mean age of 42.4 years were included for analysis and 55 of them (43.7%) were diagnosed as having FSD associated with distress based on DSM-5 criteria. More than half of women (65.1%) reported decreased sexual satisfaction after cancer treatment. According to DSM-5 definition, the most common female sexual disorders were sexual interest/arousal disorder (70.9%), followed by genitopelvic pain/penetration disorder (60.0%), and orgasmic disorder (20.0%). In multiple logistic regression model, endometrial cancer diagnosis was the only independent factor predicting less influence of cancer treatment on FSD (OR 0.370; 95% CI 0.160, 0.856).
The first study to use DSM-5 criteria for estimation of FSD prevalence. This enables clinicians to identify which women are actually needed to seek medical help. A prevalence of 43.7% of FSD associated with distress was found in a group of gynecologic cancer survivors with the most common being sexual interest/arousal disorder. Endometrial cancer survivors were at low risk for developing FSD after treatment.
在妇科癌症幸存者中,女性性功能障碍(FSD)仍然研究不足。我们试图使用精神障碍诊断与统计手册第五版(DSM-5)的诊断标准来估计与妇科癌症幸存者困扰相关的 FSD 的患病率,并确定患有 FSD 的风险女性。
我们对 2017 年 1 月至 2019 年 12 月期间在门诊就诊的至少治疗 1 年后患有各种妇科癌症的 20-50 岁的绝经前女性进行了一项横断面分析。通过面对面访谈收集社会人口统计学和身体状况数据。我们用于定义 FSD 的领域基于 DSM-5 诊断标准。使用学生 t 检验、卡方检验和多因素逻辑回归进行统计分析。
共纳入 126 名妇科癌症幸存者,平均年龄为 42.4 岁,其中 55 名(43.7%)根据 DSM-5 标准诊断为患有与困扰相关的 FSD。超过一半的女性(65.1%)报告在癌症治疗后性满意度下降。根据 DSM-5 定义,最常见的女性性功能障碍是性欲/唤起障碍(70.9%),其次是生殖器疼痛/插入障碍(60.0%)和性高潮障碍(20.0%)。在多因素逻辑回归模型中,子宫内膜癌诊断是预测癌症治疗对 FSD 影响较小的唯一独立因素(OR 0.370;95%CI 0.160,0.856)。
这是第一项使用 DSM-5 标准估计 FSD 患病率的研究。这使临床医生能够确定哪些女性实际上需要寻求医疗帮助。在一组妇科癌症幸存者中,发现与困扰相关的 FSD 患病率为 43.7%,最常见的是性欲/唤起障碍。子宫内膜癌幸存者在治疗后发生 FSD 的风险较低。
