Abstract
Background: The association of vaginal laxity with female sexual function is clinically significant. Male sexual pleasure can also be affected by vaginal laxity.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vaginoplasty on a cohort of women who underwent this procedure for indications of vaginal laxity/impaired sexual function. The sexual satisfaction of partners after vaginal tightening was also evaluated.
Methods: Fifty women who underwent vaginoplasty and their male partners (n = 50) were included in the study. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) were administered to female patients 3 months before and after the treatment. In addition, the sexual function of male partners was assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) 3 months before and after the treatment. A 5-question questionnaire inquiring about pleasure status, scored on a 4-point Likert scale, was administered to the male partners.
Results: The posttreatment STAI-State and STAI-Trait scores of the female patients were statistically significantly lower than their pretreatment scores (52.5 vs 32, P < .001; 56 vs 44, P < .001, respectively). The posttreatment FSFI score of the female patients was significantly higher than their pretreatment score (19.2 vs 29.7, P < .001).
Conclusions: The results demonstrated a significant improvement in the sexual function of males and females, and additionally, a significant decrease in the indices of temporary anxiety levels and the inherent predisposition for anxiety disorders after vaginoplasty.
背景：阴道松弛与女性性功能有关，这一点凸显了阴道松弛的临床意义。阴道松弛也会影响男性的性能力：我们的目的是调查阴道整形术对以阴道松弛/性功能受损为指征而接受相应手术的女性群体的影响。同时，评估阴道紧缩术后伴侣的性满意度也非常重要：研究纳入了 50 名接受阴道成形术的女性及其男性伴侣（n=50）。在治疗前后三个月，对女性患者进行了状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）和女性性功能指数（FSFI）测试。此外，在治疗前后三个月，还通过国际勃起功能指数-5（IIEF-5）询问了男性伴侣的性功能情况。此外，还采用李克特四点量表对男性伴侣进行了 5 个问题的问卷调查，以了解他们的性快感状况：结果：女性患者治疗后的 STAI THE STATE 和 STAI THE TRAIT 得分明显低于治疗前的得分（52.5 vs 32，p 结论：我们的研究结果表明，女性患者的性快感状况得到了显著改善：我们的研究结果表明，在阴道成形术后，男性和女性的性功能均有明显改善，此外，暂时性焦虑水平和焦虑症的固有倾向指数也有明显下降。
