THE EFFECT OF CERVIX AND OVARY SPARING HYSTERECTOMY ON SEXUAL FUNCTIONS

Abstract

Aim: The aim of our study was to assess the effect of cervical and ovarian protection during hysterectomy on sexual functions. Material and methods: Study group consisted of patients who had undergone subtotal hysterectomy (STH), total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) or total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingooopherectomy (TAH+BSO); and received hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) in our maternity hospital. An inquiry form was prepared to determine preand postoperative sexual functions and was applied to patients in whom address informations could be reached and to whom approved join the study. The results were assessed by making comparison between the groups of STH and TAH, TAH and TAH+BSO There were no demographic differences between the three groups. In the patients who undergone TAH; orgasm, multiple orgasm, coital frequency and whole sexual sufficiency scores were worse than the patients who had undergone STH (p=0.024, p=0.012, p=0.032 and p=0.003; consecutively). The only statistically significant difference between TAH+BSO and TAH groups was in postoperative libido changes and it was better in TAH group (p= 0.014). Discussion : Results of our study shows that protecting cervix and ovaries during hysterectomy has positive effects on sexual functions. Larger prospective studies are needed on this subject which is hard to make objective assessment to make certain decisions.
