Aim: To investigate the effects
of bacterial vaginosis, which is the most frequent vaginal infection in women,
and its treatment on sexual functions.Methods: Patients who had applied to our gynecology outpatient clinic
with bacterial vaginosis based on the culture results were included in this
observational questionnaire study. Patients with an accompanying disease
possibly resulting in sexual dysfunction and those with vaginitis etiology
other than bacterial vaginosis were excluded from the study. Patients were
asked to fill the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) during the diagnosis of
bacterial vaginosis and 1 month later than the treatment.Results: Seventy-two patients who had applied to our outpatient clinic
between January 2018 and January 2019 and who met the study criteria were included
in this study. Statistically significant improvement was found in
post-treatment orgasm and pain scores and in total FSFI scores of the patients
upon comparison of FSFI scores of patients before and after the treatment (p<0.001).
However, no statistically significant differences were found in sexual desire,
arousal, lubricity and general satisfaction scores before and after the
treatment (p>0.05 for all).
Conclusion: It was
found that sexual dysfunction was more common in patients with bacterial vaginosis
and improvement was seen in some sexual functions with treatment. |
