[Sexual morbidity of cervical carcinoma survivors].
Ceská Gynekologie 0 December
OBJECTIVE: We are aware that patients with cervical carcinoma in the Czech Republic are poorly informed about sexual aspects of their therapy and there is also very poor attention paid to this problem in the Czech literature. Therefore we decided to evaluate the situation in a group of patients from our department using our own questionaire. We compared our results with contemporary world literature.
DESIGN: Questionnaire survey, comparison with world literature.
SETTING: Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Jihlava Hospital.
METHODS: Analysis of group of 25 patients with invasive cervical carcinoma, who had undergone radical hysterectomy, radiotherapy or both between 2009 and 2015. Patients were asked retrospectively using our own questionaire.
CONCLUSION: Worldwide, the care of these patients is focusing also on their sexuality after therapy and various studies concentrate for several years on sexual morbidity in relation with performed therapeutic modality - radical hysterectomy or radiotherapy. Our group confirmed the worldwide results, mainly the lack of sexual interest and vaginal dryness, especially in women treated with radiotherapy. Also very poor knowledgeableness of the patients was confirmed.
