Abstract

Background: While the effects of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and infertility on women's health have often been discussed, not many studies have assessed the other complications of infertility. One of these complications is female sexual dysfunction (FSD), a range of psychosexual disorders. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of FSD in PCOS and its comparison with other causes of infertility.

Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, two questionnaires were filled out by two groups (60 people each) of infertile patients, due to PCOS and other causes, referred to Arash Women's Hospital from December 2018 to 2019. The data was analyzed in SPSS software to evaluate the frequency of FSD in the whole study population and each group separately as well as its relationship with age, history of pregnancy, the literacy level of the patient or spouse, body mass index (BMI), infertility duration, hirsutism, and acne.

Results: The frequency of FSD in the study group had a significant inverse relationship with the women's level of education (P=0.044), although no such correlation was found with age, pregnancy history, spouse's literacy level, BMI, duration of infertility, acne, and hirsutism. In the comparison group, there was a significant relationship between the duration of infertility and FSD (P=0.002). The prevalence of FSD in the study and comparison groups was 43.1 and 52%, respectively. The prevalence of FSD sub-domains in all categories, except for pain, was higher in the study group. PCOS, compared to other groups, presented at a relatively younger age.

Conclusion: In the PCOS group, patients with lower education levels were more likely to suffer from FSD. This suggests the effect of education and awareness on the sexual performance of these people. No significant difference in FSD experience was found between PCOS and other groups.

患有或未患有多囊卵巢综合征的不孕患者中女性性功能障碍的患病率是否存在差异？一项横断面研究。

背景：虽然多囊卵巢综合症（PCOS）和不孕症对女性健康的影响经常被讨论，但评估不孕症其他并发症的研究并不多。其中一种并发症是女性性功能障碍（FSD），即一系列性心理障碍。本研究旨在调查 FSD 在多囊卵巢综合征中的发病率，并将其与其他不孕原因进行比较：在这项横断面研究中，2018 年 12 月至 2019 年期间，两组（各 60 人）因多囊卵巢综合征和其他原因转诊至阿拉什妇女医院的不孕患者填写了两份问卷。通过SPSS软件对数据进行分析，以评估整个研究人群和每组人群中FSD的发生频率，以及其与年龄、妊娠史、患者或配偶的文化水平、体重指数（BMI）、不孕症持续时间、多毛症和痤疮的关系：研究组的 FSD 发生率与妇女的受教育程度呈显著的反比关系（P=0.044），但与年龄、妊娠史、配偶的文化程度、体重指数、不孕症持续时间、痤疮和多毛症无相关性。在对比组中，不育持续时间与 FSD 有显著关系（P=0.002）。研究组和对比组的 FSD 患病率分别为 43.1% 和 52%。除疼痛外，研究组在所有类别中的 FSD 子域的患病率均较高。与其他组别相比，多囊卵巢综合症患者的发病年龄相对较小：结论：在多囊卵巢综合征组中，受教育程度较低的患者更有可能患有 FSD。结论：在多囊卵巢综合征组中，教育水平较低的患者更容易患上 FSD，这表明教育和意识对这些人的性能力有影响。在多囊卵巢综合症组和其他组别中，FSD 的发生率没有明显差异。
