Radiotherapy and treatment of cervical cancer – sexuality implications
European Psychiatry, 2016Co-Authors: A. Fornelos, P. Macedo, S. Nunes, A.r. Figueiredo, M. Silva, M. ViseuAbstract:Introduction Cancer of the uterine cervix represents 10% of malignant tumors affecting women. Despite occupying fifth place in the global mortality rate it is described with the highest healing potential. One of the most used treatments is radiotherapy, which has a particularly significant impact on women's quality of life, especially in their sexuality. Biological and psychic factors are suggested as possible etiologies for sexual dysfunction situations. Changes in body image may arouse feelings of shame and low self-esteem. In what concerns biology, vaginal stenosis is referred as a cause of Vaginism and vaginal bleeding, with consequent decrease in libido and pleasure. Objective Describe the implications in the sexuality of women with cancer of the uterine cervix after radiotherapy. Methods A literature search using the PubMed and Scielo databases of scientific articles published in the last 10 years. Results In the literature, there are significant changes in sexual behavior in women with cervical cancer in the period after radiotherapy. A large percentage reveals sexual abstinence and an equally significant part presents sexual dysfunction caused by lack of lubrication, arousal and orgasm. Moreover, it is reported decreased libido and sexual pleasure, vaginal bleeding and Vaginism. On the other hand, there is a small account of cases in which it is mentioned increase libido and pleasure. Conclusion Despite the high probability of healing this disease, the patients’ quality of life after advanced stages of radiotherapy, should be a source of concern, especially with regard to sexuality.

Vulvodyni och rädsla för brott : En kvantitativ studie om kvinnors underlivssmärta och rädsla för brott
Örebro universitet Institutionen för juridik psykologi och socialt arbete, 2020Co-Authors: Boije MichelleAbstract:Enligt forskning har kvinnor en högre rädsla för brott än män. En förklaring är att kvinnors rädsla för sexuella brott ökar rädslan för alla typer av brott. Andra faktorer som har visat sig påverka rädsla för brott är fysisk och psykisk ohälsa. Dessa faktorer och teorin om att kvinnors rädsla för brott påverkas av rädsla för sexuella brott kan innebära att smärtsjukdomar som vulvodyni och Vaginism som innebär svår smärta vid penetration och / eller beröring av slidan gör att kvinnor som lider av det kan uppleva en högre rädsla av brottslighet än andra kvinnor. Studiens syfte var att undersöka om vulvodyni har en inverkan på kvinnors rädsla för brott. Deltagarna bestod av 243 kvinnor (medelålder= 24,58, SD= 5,15) med (n=129) och utan (n=114) vulvodyni. Resultaten av studien indikerar att vulvodyni påverkar rädsla för brott och gör kvinnor som lider av den mer rädda för brott än de utan vulvodyni. Kvinnor med vulvodyni har också en högre rädsla för sexualbrott som våldtäkt och sexuella trakasserier. Vulvodyni visar på en unik association till rädsla för brott vid kontroll över andra variabler som tidigare forskning visat samband med rädsla för brott. Rädsla för sexualbrott visar också associationer med rädsla för andra brott hos kvinnor med och utan vulvodyni. Mer forskning om ämnet behövs för att se hur kvinnor med vulvodyni resonerar om sin rädsla för brott.According to research, women have a higher fear of crime than men. one explanation is that women's fear of sexual offenses increases the fear of all types of crime. Other factors that have been shown to affect fear of crime are physical and mental health. The factors and the theory that women's fear of crime is affected by fear of sexual offenses could mean that pain diseases such as vulvodynia and Vaginism that involve severe pain when penetrating and/or touching the vagina make women who suffer from it to have a higher fear of crime than other women. The purpose of the study was to investigate if vulvodynia has an impact on women's fear of crime. The study sample consisted of 243 women (mean age=24,58, SD= 5,15) with (n= 129) and without (n=114) vulvodynia. The results of the study indicate that vulvodynia affects fear of crime and makes women who suffer from it more afraid of crime than those without. Women with vulvodynia also have a higher fear of sexual offenses such as rape and sexual harassment. Vulvodynia also demonstrates having a unique compound to fear of crime proud control for other variables. Fear of sexual crime also shows associates of fear to other types of crimes for women with and without vulvodynia. More research on the subject is needed to see how women with vulvodynia reason about their fear of crime
