“…In the literature, it has been stated that the symptoms of dry vagina associated with SS are not frequently questioned by rheumatologists, so pelvic floor problems may be under‐reported in these patients, as the relationship between dry vaginal symptoms and SS is not commonly included in the medical literature 13 .

“…It has also been stated that women with SS with pelvic problems are under-reported. 13 In the literature, it has been stated that antibodies such as anti-SS-A and anti-SS-B are frequently determined in patients with SS 13,14 and autoantibodies to a salivary gland-specific protein and the M3 muscarinic receptor have been detected in recent studies. [15][16][17] These antibodies may affect gastrointestinal smooth muscle, parasympathetic function, and detrusor activity.…”

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic, systemic, autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of all exocrine glands, especially tear and salivary glands. 1 Typical symptoms of SS are dry eyes, mouth and vagina but other mucosa can also be involved, resulting in a disturbing sicca syndrome that can impair quality of life. 2 As in other autoimmune diseases, SS predominantly affects women more than men and may occur in patients of all ages but typically has onset in the 4th to 6th decades of life. 3 A good sexual life is an important factor in global health status 4 and vaginal dryness and dyspareunia experienced in SS have a negative effect on participation in sexual activity. 5 The classic triad of dry eyes, mouth and vagina is known to most gynecologists as

Although primary Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) mainly affects women, its gynaecological, obstetric, and sexual aspects have been largely overlooked. Data regarding the impact of the disease on pregnancy and vice versa are scant. Primary SS can occur in all age groups but usually starts after the fifth decade, often beyond the childbearing age; however, at least in the Western world, the age of first pregnancy is increasingly delayed, so pregnancy in SS is being encountered more frequently. Vaginal dryness represents the main cause of dyspareunia, which seriously affects individuals’ quality of life, but data regarding this aspect of the disease are scarce. In this chapter we review the main gynaecologic complications of SS, focusing on their prevalence and impact on daily life. In addition we review pregnancy outcome in primary SS including obstetric complications, pregnancy outcome, and manifestations of neonatal lupus.
