Abstract

Background: Despite asthma being a worldwide disease, still little awareness regarding the sexual function of asthmatic patients exists. So this study attempts to assess the Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) amongst Egyptian females with asthma and its burden on their quality of life.

Materials & methods: The sample consisted of 180 subjects, comprising 90 asthma patients and 90 healthy controls aged between 20 - 45 years old, who visited the Chest Department Outpatient Clinic of Ain Shams University Hospital between January and December 2018. We reported all the subjects' demographic and clinical data; both groups answered an Arabic version of the Female Sexual Function Index (Ar FSFI) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire abbreviated version (WHOQL-Bref).

Results: 90% of asthmatic females had FSD; total Female Sexual Function Index score was 12.956 ± 10.3 in asthmatic females compared to 25.423 ± 5.521 in healthy controls; 45.6% of asthmatic females with sexual dysfunction had moderate asthma and 86.4% had uncontrolled asthma, 40.1% of them had a low educational level and 80.2% were unemployed.

Conclusion: Jobless females with severe uncontrolled asthma and a low educational level had higher sexual dysfunction and a poor quality of life.

埃及哮喘患者女性性功能障碍的研究。

背景:尽管哮喘是一种世界性疾病，但对哮喘患者性功能的认识仍然很少。因此本研究试图评估埃及女性哮喘患者的女性性功能障碍(FSD)及其对生活质量的影响。材料与方法:样本包括180名受试者，其中90名哮喘患者和90名健康对照，年龄在20 - 45岁之间，于2018年1月至12月在艾因沙姆斯大学医院胸科门诊就诊。我们报告了所有受试者的人口统计学和临床数据;两组都回答了阿拉伯语版的女性性功能指数(Ar FSFI)和世界卫生组织生活质量问卷(WHOQL-Bref)。结果:90%的女性哮喘患者有FSD;哮喘女性性功能指数总分为12.956±10.3，健康对照组为25.423±5.521;有性功能障碍的女性哮喘患者中，有中度哮喘的占45.6%，未控制哮喘的占86.4%，受教育程度低的占40.1%，无业的占80.2%。结论:失业女性伴严重未控制哮喘，文化程度低，性功能障碍较高，生活质量较差。
