ORIGINAL RESEARCH—WOMEN'S SEXUAL HEALTH Sexual Functioning in Women Using Levonorgestrel-Releasing Intrauterine Systems as Compared to Copper Intrauterine Devices
2020Co-Authors: Paul Enzlin, Steven Weyers, Dirk Janssens, Willy Poppe, Christa Eelen, Els Pazmany, Els ElautAbstract:Introduction. There has been little research published on the impact of intrauterine contraceptive (IUC) methods on sexual functioning. jsm_2266 1065..1073 Aims. This study aimed: (i) to assess different aspects of sexual functioning, including the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in women using a levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS); (ii) to compare this prevalence with that among copper-releasing intrauterine device (Cu-IUD) users; and (iii) to identify the Relationship between psychological variables and sexual functioning in women using one of the aforementioned IUCs. Methods. In a multicenter cross-sectional study, 845 women with an IUC were invited to fill out a questionnaire. The latter was returned by 402 (48%) of them: 353 women were LNG-IUS users (88%) and 49 were Cu-IUD users (12%). The questions asked pertained to depression, well-being, Marital Relation quality, and sexual functioning. Main Outcome Measures. Sexual functioning was measured with the Short Sexual Functioning Scale. Results. One-third of LNG-IUS users (33%) reported a sexual dysfunction. Of those, 20% reported an increased sexual desire, 25% a decreased sexual desire, 5% arousal problems, and 8% orgasm problems. Women using a LNG-IUS did not differ significantly in distribution, type, or prevalence (32.9% vs. 36.7%) of sexual dysfunction, nor in depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory score; 4.7 vs. 3.9; P = 0.33), general well-being (WHO-5 well-being scale score; 16.8 vs. 17.7; P = 0.170), or partner Relationship quality (Dyadic Adjustment Scale score; 107 vs. 108; P = 0.74) compared to Cu-IUD users. Overall, the perceived influence of IUCs on sexual functioning was in the lower range and did not differentiate LNG-IUS greatly from Cu-IUD-users. Conclusion. Women using a LNG-IUS do not differ from those wearing a Cu-IUD with regard to psychological and sexual functioning. The perceived impact of IUD use on sexuality should not be overestimated.

Sexual Dysfunction in Women With Type 1 Diabetes: Long-term findings from the DCCT/ EDIC study cohort
Diabetes Care, 2009Co-Authors: Paul Enzlin, Raymond C. Rosen, Markus Wiegel, Jeanette S. Brown, Hunter Wessells, Patricia Gatcomb, Brandy N. Rutledge, Ka Ling Chan, Patricia A. ClearyAbstract:OBJECTIVE —This study aimed to 1 ) examine the prevalence of sexual problems in women with type 1 diabetes, 2 ) compare this prevalence rate with that of an age-matched control group, 3 ) study the influence of diabetes-related somatic factors on female sexuality, and 4 ) study the influence of psychological variables on the sexual functioning of both groups. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS —A total of 120 women with diabetes visiting the outpatient diabetes clinic completed questionnaires evaluating psychological adjustment to diabetes, Marital satisfaction, depression, and sexual functioning. Medical records were used to obtain data on HbA1c, use of medication, BMI, and early-onset microvascular complications. An age-matched control group of 180 healthy women attending an outpatient gynecological clinic for preventive routine gynecological assessment also completed the non–diabetes-related questionnaires. RESULTS —More women with diabetes than control subjects reported sexual dysfunction (27 vs. 15%; P = 0.04), but a significant difference was found only for decreased lubrication. No association was found between sexual dysfunction and age, BMI, duration of diabetes, HbA1c, use of medication, menopausal status, or complications. Women with more complications, however, reported significantly more sexual dysfunctions, and the presence of complications altered treatment satisfaction. Both diabetic and control women with sexual dysfunction mentioned lower overall quality of the Marital Relation and more depressive symptoms than their respective counterparts without sexual problems. Depression was a significant predictor for sexual dysfunction in both women with diabetes and control subjects. CONCLUSIONS —Sexual problems are frequent in women with diabetes. They affect the overall quality of life and deserve more attention in clinical practice and research.

gender impact on the corRelation between sexuality and Marital Relation quality in patients with coronary artery disease
The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2008Co-Authors: Davoud Kazemisaleh, Bahram Pishgou, Farhat Farrokhi, Shervin Assari, Aryandokht Fotros, Hassan NaseriAbstract:ABSTRACT Introduction Although the negative impact of coronary artery disease (CAD) on sexual and Marital Relation of the patients is known, data are lacking regarding possible gender difference. Aim We designed a study on patients with CAD to investigate sexual Relation and Marital adjustment and their association with regard to gender differences. Main Outcome Measures Questionnaires including the Dyadic Adjustment Scale for evaluating the couple's agreement on decisions and appropriate behavior, Marital satisfaction, and Marital cohesion, and the Relation and Sexuality Scale (RSS) for sexual function, frequency, and fear. Methods We surveyed 650 patients with documented CAD without any other major comorbidities. Results The patients were 464 men (73.1%) and 171 women (26.9%) with CAD. The mean age of the men and the women were 57.1 ± 11.6 years and 56.3 ± 9.7 years, respectively. The women had a significantly poorer dyadic adjustment and sexual Relation than men, except for sexual fear, which was more prominent in men with CAD and their spouses. The sexual frequency and the total RSS scores correlated with all aspects of the patients' Marital Relation in both genders. However, only men suffered from a poorer dyadic satisfaction, dyadic consensus, affectional expression, and overall Marital adjustment if they were more afraid of sexual Relation. In women, but not men, sexual function was significantly associated with their dyadic satisfaction and their overall Marital Relation. Conclusions Poorer sexual Relation and Marital adjustment was detected in our women with CAD. To manage all the problems of the patients that may impact their cardiac status, we should consider factors such as fear of sexual activity in men sexual dysfunction in women, and their corRelation with Marital adjustment.
