INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer strongly affects sexual desires physical and sexual attractiveness. This study was conducted to assess sexual function and related factors among women with breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was performed on 149 women with breast cancer diagnosed by an oncologist, and the demographic and clinical data were also recorded. The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) was used to assess sexual function in women. RESULTS: The mean score of sexual function in patients was 16.44 ± 8.85. Among participants, 137 (91.9%) had sexual dysfunction. The most frequent sexual disorder was related to dissatisfaction (75.8%) and arousal problems (72.5%). All disorders of sexual functions were significantly higher among patients older than 51 years, with pre-high school education level, menopausal status, marriage duration 28.40 ± 9.46years, number of children ≥ 3, and duration of breast cancer more than seven months (p < 0.05). The frequency of all sexual disorders, except for sexual function, was significantly higher in patients diagnosed with stage III breast cancer (p < 0.05). The complications in vaginal lubrication, and orgasm was significantly higher in those who underwent radiation therapy (p < 0.05). The results of this logistic regression analysis indicate that age and the duration of breast cancer are significantly associated with the likelihood of sexual dysfunction in the women (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: This study reveals a high prevalence of sexual dysfunction among women with breast cancer, with a notably low mean sexual function score. Key factors contributing to these challenges include age, education level, menopausal status, and the duration of both breast cancer and marriage.
引言:乳腺癌对性欲、身体和性吸引力有很大影响。本研究旨在评估乳腺癌女性的性功能及相关因素。 材料与方法:本研究对149名经肿瘤学家诊断为乳腺癌的女性进行,同时记录了她们的人口统计学和临床数据。采用女性性功能指数(FSFI)评估女性的性功能。 结果:患者性功能的平均得分为16.44±8.85。在参与者中,137名(91.9%)存在性功能障碍。最常见的性功能障碍是性满意度低(75.8%)和性唤起问题(72.5%)。年龄大于51岁、高中以下文化程度、绝经状态、婚姻持续时间28.40±9.46年、子女数≥3个以及患乳腺癌时间超过7个月的患者,所有性功能障碍的发生率均显著更高(p<0.05)。除性功能外,所有性功能障碍的发生率在诊断为III期乳腺癌的患者中显著更高(p<0.05)。接受放疗的患者阴道润滑和性高潮方面的并发症显著更高(p<0.05)。逻辑回归分析结果表明,年龄和患乳腺癌的时间与女性性功能障碍的可能性显著相关(p<0.05)。 结论:本研究揭示乳腺癌女性性功能障碍的患病率很高,性功能平均得分显著较低。导致这些问题的关键因素包括年龄、教育水平、绝经状态以及乳腺癌病程和婚姻持续时间。
