Özet

Introduction: There is a negative relationship between coronary artery disease and female sexual functions. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the sexual functions in female patients who underwent coronary stenting due to critical coronary stenosis.

Material and Methods: A total of 19 female patients were included and female sexual dysfunction (FSD) was investigated in this study using Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI).

Results: The mean age of 47.5±1.5 years (44-49), and FSD was seen in 10 (52.6%), 18 (94.7%) and 14 (73.7%)of the patients in the pre-procedure, post-procedure first month, and sixth month periods. Total FSFI scores were 19.7±8.9, 5.9±7.6 and 17.1±7.8, respectively. Post-procedure first month both FSFI domains (sexual desire, sexual arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain) were significantly lower than preprocedure, and after sixth month periods (p <0.05). There was no difference between total FSFI scores at pre-procedure, and postprocedure sixth month controls (p = 0.17).

Discussion: In our study,FSD is quite common in female patients with coronary stenting. Sexual functions are severely affected during the first month after coronary intervention in women with coronary artery disease
