Abstract
Background

With diagnostic and treatment advancements in cancer management, the need for improvement of survivors’ quality of life has been increasing. One of the issues affecting the quality of life in gynecologic cancer survivors is a decline in their sexual function, which is affected in many ways. In order to assess sexual dysfunction in gynecologic cancer survivors.

Objective

This study is designed to assess different areas of sexual function including desire, arousal, vaginal lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain.

Materials and methods

Patients who had completed treatment since 6 months to 6 years ago included in the case–control study starting from January 2019 to January 2020. Twenty-nine sexually active gynecologic cancer survivors with sexual dysfunction were enrolled as cases and 91 sexually active ones without sexual problems were assigned to the control group. The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire consisting of 19-items and six areas was completed for each participant.

Results

Average sexual dysfunction score of the case group was 16.78 with cut-off point of 28 for dysfunction. The most common domain of sexual dysfunction was pain (96.55%), followed by sexual arousal (86.21%), vaginal lubrication (72.41%), orgasm (72.41%), satisfaction (65.52%) and sexual desire (55.17%).

Conclusion

In gynecologic cancer survivors, sexual dysfunction was directly related to employment, brachytherapy and co-existing DM and inversely related to the time elapsed since cancer diagnosis and menopause. Asking about sexual problems and referral to a specialist should be included in the patient treatment process.

Resumen
Antecedentes

Con los avances en el diagnóstico y tratamiento del cáncer, la necesidad de mejorar la calidad de vida de los sobrevivientes ha ido en aumento. Uno de los problemas que afectan la calidad de vida de las sobrevivientes de cáncer ginecológico es la disminución de su función sexual, que se ve afectada de muchas maneras.

Objetivo

Con el fin de evaluar la disfunción sexual en sobrevivientes de cáncer ginecológico, este estudio está diseñado para evaluar diferentes áreas de la función sexual, incluido el deseo, la excitación, la lubricación vaginal, el orgasmo, la satisfacción y el dolor.

Materiales y métodos

Pacientes que habían completado el tratamiento desde hacía seis meses a seis años, incluidas en el estudio de casos y controles a partir de enero de 2019 a enero de 2020. Veintinueve sobrevivientes de cáncer ginecológico sexualmente activas con disfunción sexual se inscribieron como casos y 91 sobrevivientes sexualmente activas sin problemas sexuales fueron asignados al grupo de control. El cuestionario del Índice de Función Sexual Femenina (FSFI) que consta de 19 ítems y seis áreas se completó para cada participante.

Resultados

La puntuación media de disfunción sexual del grupo de casos fue de 16,78 con un punto de corte de 28 para disfunción. El dominio más común de disfunción sexual fue el dolor (96,55%), seguido de excitación sexual (86,21%), lubricación vaginal (72,41%), orgasmo (72,41%), satisfacción (65,52%) y deseo sexual (55,17%).

Conclusión

En las sobrevivientes de cáncer ginecológico, la disfunción sexual estuvo directamente relacionada con el empleo, la braquiterapia y la DM coexistente e inversamente relacionada con el tiempo transcurrido desde el diagnóstico del cáncer y la menopausia. La consulta sobre problemas sexuales y la derivación a un especialista deben incluirse en el proceso de tratamiento del paciente.
