The relationship between vaginal aging and sexual quality of life in postmenopausal women.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between vaginal aging and sexual quality of life in postmenopausal women.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 210 postmenopausal women aged 45 to 59 years. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Daily Effects of Vaginal Aging Scale, and the Sexual Quality of Life Scale. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
Results: A statistically significant negative correlation was found between vaginal aging and sexual quality of life ( r =-0.533, P <0.001). A one-unit increase in vaginal aging was associated with a 0.506-unit decrease in sexual quality of life score (B=-0.506, P <0.001).
Conclusions: Vaginal aging was significantly associated with lower sexual quality of life in postmenopausal women. These findings suggest that addressing vaginal aging may contribute to enhancing sexual well-being in this population.
期刊介绍:
Menopause, published monthly, provides a forum for new research, applied basic science, and clinical guidelines on all aspects of menopause. The scope and usefulness of the journal extend beyond gynecology, encompassing many varied biomedical areas, including internal medicine, family practice, medical subspecialties such as cardiology and geriatrics, epidemiology, pathology, sociology, psychology, anthropology, and pharmacology. This forum is essential to help integrate these areas, highlight needs for future research, and enhance health care.
