Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between the day-to-day impact of vaginal aging and female sexual function among postmenopausal Turkish women.

Method: The McCoy Female Sexuality Questionnaire (MFSQ) and the Day-to-Day Impact of Vaginal Aging (DIVA) questionnaire were distributed to 195 postmenopausal women. The most bothersome vulvovaginal symptoms were recorded. The scores for each of the MFSQ and DIVA domains were compared between women with moderate to severe symptoms and those with no or mild symptoms.

Results: The mean scores for the MFSQ sexual interest and MFSQ partner satisfaction domains, the total MFSQ, and the total DIVA decreased as women got older. Women with moderate to severe pain with penetration had a lower score for the MFSQ sexual interest domain, and a higher score for the DIVA self-concept and body image domain. Women with moderate to severe dryness had a higher score for the MFSQ sexual interest domain, and a lower score for the DIVA self-concept and body image domain.

Conclusion: The mean scores of each of the MFSQ and DIVA domains were not influenced by vulvovaginal symptoms such as itching, pain, and irritation. The mean scores of the MFSQ sexual interest and DIVA self-concept and body image domains differed with the severity of dryness and pain with penetration.

阴道老化对女性性功能的日常影响。

目的：本研究旨在探讨土耳其绝经后妇女阴道老化与女性性功能的日常影响之间的关系。方法：对195名绝经后妇女进行McCoy女性性行为问卷（MFSQ）和阴道老化的日常影响问卷（DIVA）调查。记录了最令人烦恼的外阴阴道症状。比较了有中度至重度症状的妇女与无症状或轻度症状的妇女在MFSQ和DIVA各域的得分。结果：随着年龄的增长，MFSQ性兴趣、MFSQ伴侣满意度、总MFSQ、总DIVA的平均得分均呈下降趋势。中度至重度疼痛伴刺入的女性在MFSQ性兴趣领域得分较低，而在DIVA自我概念和身体形象领域得分较高。中度至重度干燥的女性在MFSQ性兴趣领域得分较高，而在DIVA自我概念和身体形象领域得分较低。结论：MFSQ和DIVA各域的平均得分不受外阴阴道瘙痒、疼痛和刺激等症状的影响。MFSQ性兴趣和DIVA自我概念和身体形象领域的平均得分随干涩程度和插入疼痛程度的不同而不同。
