“…Research investigating the association between endometriosis and global female sexual functioning has outlined an even more complex clinical scenario, suggesting that dyspareunia is not the unique sexual problem associated with the disease. It was estimated that around two thirds of women with endometriosis suffer from some type of sexual dysfunction, such as pain at intercourse, low satisfaction, lack of desire, low arousal, orgasm difficulties, with a negative impact on women's psychological health and intimate relationships (8,(12)(13)(14). Because endometriosis affects from 5% to 10% of women of reproductive age (15), it is imaginable that a large proportion of young women in their most sexually active period of life present sexual dysfunction caused by the disease, which may interfere with conception (5).…”

“…Pain during intercourse can be triggered by traction of scarred and anelastic endometriotic tissue or by mechanical pressure on lesions occurring during coitus (1). Dyspareunia is also associated with other forms of sexual dysfunctions, such as hypoactive sexual desire, decreased lubrication, arousal difficulties, and orgasm disorders due for instance to fear and anticipation of pain, which represents one of the most powerful inhibitor of the sexual response cycle (6)(7)(8). Several…”

“…Estudos gerais de disfunção sexual feminina mostram que os distúrbios do desejo sexual costumam ser os mais frequentes (Hayes et al, 2007;Maserejian et al, 2010 (Binik et al, 2002;Fritzer et al, 2013;Di Donato et al, 2014;Fritzer et al, 2016). O arsenal terapêutico clássico disponível para o tratamento da endometriose compõe-se de medicamentos analgésicos, anti-inflamatórios e supressores hormonais, além de cirurgias por vezes complexas, todos com potencial de interferir, em maior ou menor grau, na resposta sexual (Fritzer et al, 2013). Sabe-se, por exemplo, que os androgênios facilitam o interesse pelo sexo; estudos mostram que as taxas de testosterona nas mulheres são mais elevadas na terceira década de vida e apresentam declínio a partir da quarta década (Leão et al, 2005 A endometriose é uma doença muito comum.…”

“…2006, outras doenças ginecológicas benignas altamente prevalentes, como os miomas uterinos, e a qualidade de vida sexual; mesmo em miomas grandes e numerosos não se encontraram diferenças significativas em relação às queixas de dispareunia e satisfação sexual. O resultado mostrou que o tipo de doença em questão, quando comparadas miomatose e endometriose, estava diretamente relacionado com a possibilidade de satisfação sexual e ressaltou que, na endometriose, dadas as próprias características inflamatórias da doença, já se esperava um maior prejuízo nos indicadores de qualidade de vida sexual.A avaliação dos resultados dos estudos envolvendo as características da função sexual das portadoras de endometriose revela, em maior ou menor grau, sentimentos de baixa autoestima, insatisfação, piores índices de qualidade de vida, deterioração de relacionamentos e, por vezes, abandono completo da atividade sexual(Denny e Mann, 2007;Ter Kuille et al, 2010; Souza et al, 2011;Fritzer et al, 2013;Evangelista et al, 2014). A experiência dolorosa trazida de relações sexuais prévias teria sido o principal marcador de limitação da função sexual no presente.Estudos comparando a eficácia de determinadas modalidades terapêuticas sobre a função sexual nas mulheres com endometriose também foram conduzidos por diversos pesquisadores.…”
