“…The symptoms of this dimension include fatigue, muscle weakness, spasticity, bladder and bowel dysfunction, numbness or sensory changes in non-genital areas, and imbalances. The tertiary sexual dysfunction occurs due to mental, social, and cultural damage related to the disease, such as: negative attitudes towards self, decreased self-confidence, and depression, which can disrupt sexual function (13,14). The etiology of sexual dysfunction in patients suffering from this disease is still under discussion (11).…”

The Prevalence of Sexual Dysfunction in Iranian Women with Multiple

et al. 2019

Context: Sexual dysfunction is one of the most common symptoms in women with multiple sclerosis (MS), which has a great impact on the individuals' quality of life, and is usually neglected. The present study was conducted with the aim of studying the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in Iranian women with MS. Evidence Acquisition: All Iranian articles published between 2000 and June 2018 in Persian and English were collected by using standard keywords in national and international databases. After evaluating articles based on inclusion/ exclusion criteria and quality assessment, related articles were selected. Heterogeneity of the studies was evaluated using the I 2 index and the publication bias was assessed using the Egger and Begg tests. Data analysis was performed in STATA software version 11, 1 by using random effect model. Results: Eight studies with a sample size of 1,301 people entered in this meta-analysis. The overall prevalence of sexual dysfunction in women with MS was 62% (CI: 95%, 51%-73%). In addition, the prevalence of sexual dysfunction by using female sexual function index (FSFI) was 57% (CI: 95%, 46%-68%) and by using multiple sclerosis intimacy and sexuality questionnaire-19 (MSISQ-19), was 73% (CI: 95%, 55%-91%). Conclusions: The results of the present study were indicative of a prevalence of 62% for sexual dysfunction in Iranian women with MS. Considering the high prevalence of sexual dysfunction and its impact on the quality of life of these women, it seems essential for treatment teams to pay attention, plan, and design effective interventions in this regard.

“…This issue can be due to differences in the domains studied by the two questionnaires. On the other hand, the FSFI measures sexual function over a past month, and the MSISQ-19 measures it over the past six months (14,18). The above reasons can cause the higher prevalence rate of sexual dysfunction reported using the MSISQ-19.…”

“…Each item is rated from 1-5 based on the Likert scale (1 = never; 2 = seldom; 3 = sometimes; 4 = often, and 5 = always); a final score is generated by the summation of the scores across items. The higher the score, the greater the impact of SD on patients' lives 10 . The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is a 10-point scale typically employed to assess the progression of MS-related disability.…”

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). These patients suffer from various comorbidities, including sexual dysfunction (SD). The lesions of MS may affect regions of the CNS along the pathway of sexual response. The Multiple Sclerosis Intimacy and Sexuality Questionnaire-19 (MSISQ-19) is a scale that assesses sexual dysfunction. Adapt and validate the MSISQ-19 to Brazilian patients with MS. 204 individuals were evaluated, 134 patients with MS and 70 healthy persons for the control group. It was determined reproducibility, validity, internal consistency and sensitivity of the MSISQ-19-BR. Among patients with MS, 54.3% of male and 71.7% of female presented some kind of SD. In the control group the results were 12.5% and 19.5%, respectively. The MSISQ-19-BR is reproducible, reliable and valid for the Brazilian population and may be used as a tool for assessing the impact of sexual dysfunction in patients with MS.

“…Pacient na petstopenjski Likertovi lestvici označi, v kakšni meri simptomi MS vplivajo na njegovo spolno aktivnost ali zadovoljstvo v zadnjih šestih mesecih. Številke od 1 do 5 pomenijo naslednje: 1 -nikoli (nikoli niso vplivali na mojo spolno aktivnost ali zadovoljstvo), 2 -redko, 3občasno, 4 -skoraj vedno, 5 -vedno (vedno so vplivali na mojo spolno aktivnost ali zadovoljstvo) (Sanders, et al, 2000). Vprašalnik ima zelo visoko notranjo zanesljivost, Cronbachov alfa koeficient za celoten vprašalnik je 0,91, za primarno spolno disfunkcijo 0,82, za sekundarno spolno disfunkcijo 0,85 ter za terciarno spolno disfunkcijo 0,87.…”

Spolna disfunkcija pri slovenskih pacientih z multiplo sklerozo

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Uvod: Spolna disfunkcija je pri pacientih z multiplo sklerozo pogosta, ustreznih podatkov za slovensko populacijo pa ni na voljo. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti vrsto in delež spolne disfunkcije, razlike med moškimi in ženskami ter morebitno povezavo med spolno disfunkcijo in značilnostmi pacientov.Metode: Presečna raziskava je bila izvedena pri pacientih z multiplo sklerozo, ki so imeli spolne odnose v zadnjih šestih mesecih in so izpolnili vprašalnik MSISQ-19 (Multiple Sclerosis Intimacy and Sexuality Questionnaire). V raziskavi je sodelovalo 368 pacientov povprečne starosti 40,9 leta in trajanjem bolezni 10,2 leta. Nevrološko prizadetost smo ocenili z EDDS (Expanded Disability Status Scale). Za primerjavo številčnih spremenljivk smo uporabili neparni t-test, za primerjavo kategoričnih spremenljivk hi-kvadrat,povezanost med značilnostmi pacientov ter posamezno obliko spolne disfunkcije pa smo ocenili s pomočjo korelacijskega koeficienta po Spearmanu.Rezultati: Delež spolne disfunkcije, definiran kot odgovor 4 ali 5 na katero koli vprašanje v MSISQ-19, je znašal 37 %, deleži primarne, sekundarne in terciarne spolne disfunkcije pa 39,4 %, 39,9 % in 40,8 %. Med spoloma ni bilo statistično pomembnih razlik. Statistično značilno, a zelo šibko linearno korelacijo smo ugotovili med značilnostmi pacientov (starost, trajanje bolezni, EDSS, trajanje partnerske zveze) ter posamezno obliko spolne disfunkcije.Diskusija in zaključek: Spolno disfunkcijo ima 37 % slovenskih pacientov z multiplo sklerozo. Med spoloma ni statistično pomembnih razlik, kar velja tudi za posamezne vrste spolne disfunkcije, kot so primarna, sekundarna in terciarna.
