Full textSexual dysfunction is a major clinical and social issue. There has been a lack of research literature exploring the treatment implications involved in conducting sex therapy with Orthodox Jewish couples. Many standard sex therapy treatment interventions are incongruent with the religious beliefs held by Orthodox Jewish individuals regarding what they consider to be sexually appropriate practices. In order to increase the probability of Orthodox clients getting the treatment they need, it is crucial for mental health clinicians to demonstrate a high-level of understanding, awareness, and sensitivity toward their clients' religious beliefs. By fostering a sense of appreciation and understanding of Orthodox Jewish sexual practices, the clinician can then gain the ability to increase their clients' level of trust, safety, comfort, and willingness to participate in the treatment process. This doctoral project explored the issues surrounding the provision of sex therapy to Orthodox Jewish couples, and aimed to bridge the gap between the research literature and clinical practice. The purpose of this project was to increase the level of awareness of mental health professionals regarding how Orthodox Jewish religious beliefs influence views about sexuality, understand the treatment implications that arise during sex therapy with Orthodox couples, and methods of effectively modifying standard sex therapy interventions by incorporating Jewish laws into the therapeutic process. The author also incorporated a summary of the clinical findings obtained from interviews conducted with four expert field consultants who have worked with Orthodox Jewish couples in their practices.

Full textContexto: a disfunção sexual é frequente entre pacientes com esquizofrenia, sendo relatada como um dos mais incômodos efeitos adversos dos antipsicóticos e esta diretamente relacionada com adesão ao tratamento. Objetivo: a) avaliar a frequência da disfunção sexual em uma amostra de pacientes do espectro da esquizofrenia em tratamento com antipsicóticos; b) investigar 0 efeito dos diferentes antipsicóticos na função sexual; e c) avaliar a acurácia da Escala de Experiência Sexual do Arizona (AS EX) para identificar disfunção sexual. Método: pacientes ambulatoriais com esquizofrenia ou transtorno esquizoafetivo foram entrevistados através de questionários: ASEX e Escala Dickson-Glazer (DGSFi) para avaliação do funcionamento sexual, em uma única entrevista. Resultados: 137 pacientes foram entrevistados. A sensibilidade e especificidade da ASEX em relação a DGSFi foram: 80.8% ( 95% IC= 70.0%-88.5%) e 88.1 % (95% IC=76.5%-94.7%), e a taxa de classificação incorreta foi 9.5%. A curva ROC comparando a pontuação da ASEX e DGSFi revelou valor de 0.93 (IC=0.879¬0.970) com 0 ponto de corte da ASEX encontrando sendo 14/15. A disfunção sexual foi mais alta entre as mulheres (79.2%) do que nos homens (33.3%) (X2=27.41, gl=1, p<0.001). Conclusão: pacientes em tratamento com antipsicóticos mostraram alta frequência de queixas sexuais e ASEX provou ser um instrumento eficaz para identificar disfunção sexual em amostra de pacientes ambulatoriais do espectro da esquizofrenia. Mulheres mostraram frequência mais alta de disfunção, e desejo sexual e habilidade para alcançar orgasmo foram áreas mais afetadas. 0 uso de antipsicóticos, principal mente 0 uso de combinações, foi associado com piora do funcionamento sexual..
Background: sexual dysfunction is frequent in patients with schizophrenia, it is reported as one of the most distressing antipsychotic’s adverse effects and it is directly related to treatment compliance. Objective: a) to assess the frequency of sexual dysfunction in a sample of outpatients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder under antipsychotic therapy; b) to investigate the effect of different antipsychotics on sexual function; and c) to evaluate the accuracy of the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX) to identify sexual dysfunction. Method: Outpatients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder were asked to fulfill both the ASEX and the Dickson Glazer Scale for the Assessment of Sexual Functioning Inventory (DGSFi) at a single interview. Results: 137 patients were interwied. The sensitivity and specificity of the ASEX in relation to DGSFi were: 80.8%, (95% CI= 70.0%-88.5%) and 88.1% (95% CI= 76.5%-94.7%), and the misclassification rate was 9.5%. The ROC curve comparing the ASEX and the DGSFi scores revealed a value of 0.93 (CI= 0.879-0.970), with the optimum cut-off point of ASEX being 14/15. Sexual dysfunction measured was higher in females (79.2%) than in males (33.3%) (2 = 27.41, d.f.=1, p<0.001). Discussion: Patients under antipsychotic treatment showed a high level of sexual complaints, and the ASEX proved to be an accurate instrument to identify sexual dysfunction in an outpatient sample of patients with schizophrenia spectrum. Females showed a higher frequency of sexual dysfunctions and sexual drive and ability to reach orgasm were the most affected areas. The use of antipsychotics, especially the combinations, was more likely to impair sexual functioning.

Full textAfter the sale success of Viagra, a medicament indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, which was launched in 1998, there was a fast proliferation of articles, books and meetings on female sexual dysfunctions. Since 2000, an intense debate about the involvement of the pharmaceutical industry in the biomedical production related to female sexual dysfunctions and the simultaneous search for a medicament similar to Viagra aimed to women has been involving professional from different areas. The goal of this dissertation was to investigate scientific discourses on female sexual dysfunctions through the analysis of articles published in the periodical Archives of Sexual Behavior, since its foundation in 1971 until 2007. The periodical was chosen due to its legitimacy in this field of knowledge, for covering a vast period (36 years) and for its multidisciplinary nature. The intention was to locate when, how and by which professional groups female sexual dysfunctions were described and dealt with in the periodical. In the case of the so-called sexual dysfunctions, scientific descriptions, which have been significantly increasing in recent years, originate therapeutic prescriptions, medicaments, chirurgical interventions, sexual education programs and public policies. That is, subjacent to this discourse, which poses as empirical and impartial processes were found that reach quite beyond the limits of a lab or the activities of a researcher. Therefore, the aim was to think of the scientific production as a product of articulations and negotiations unfolded in diversified domains and involving cultural, social and economical processes, as well as cognitive and scientific ones, in contrast to the conceptions that characterize science as a project that only brings about the truth. For this, the context in which a science of sexuality emerged throughout the 19th Century was presented, followed by the context in which the discourses on female sexual dysfunctions appeared: what has facilitated their emergence in that given moment, how and by whom were they defined, how were they articulated to social, economical and cultural processes and which transformations they suffered throughout the years.

The objective of this thesis is to describe research being done on adult male impotence. Clinical situations with manifestations of erectile dysfunction, which lead one to conceive of a psychopathology of impotence, allow an approach with several different perspectives. This research is being carried out from a psychoanalytic perspective and is being developed within the field of fundamental psychopathology. The text has five chapters. First we present a methodology based on the clinical method, where we describe an investigation which began with masters work and a masters degree, and moved on to the area of doctoral studies. This historical path was possible due to the enigmas that the clinical work produced, permitting articulation between aspects that originally consisted of inhibition in an individual s early childhood and later developed into impotence in adult life. The chapter on psychic and sexual impotence in men is comprised of discussions of clinical cases. The situations related to treatment led to formulations on the nature of inhibition in each case. We thus conceived that there is both a specific and a generalized inhibition, as developed by Freud when dealing with this notion. In terms of specific inhibition, desire is blocked, whereas, in generalized inhibition, the subject's capacity to desire is put into doubt. This distinction would seem to be essential for listening and conducting treatment in cases where the disappearance of sexual desire leads one to recognize the existence of psychic suffering
A proposta deste trabalho é apresentar os desdobramentos de uma pesquisa sobre impotência sexual masculina. Situações clínicas com manifestação de uma disfunção sexual nos homens, as quais nos sugerem pensar numa psicopatologia da impotência, permitem uma abordagem sob diferentes perspectivas. Esta pesquisa se desenvolve desde uma perspectiva psicanalítica e está circunscrita pelo campo da psicopatologia fundamental. O texto está composto por cinco capítulos. No primeiro deles nos dedicamos à apresentação da metodologia baseada no método clínico, onde percorremos os caminhos de uma investigação que teve origem no mestrado, chegando à situação problemática do doutorado. Tal percurso foi possível realizar pelos enigmas que a clínica produziu permitindo uma articulação entre o que, num primeiro momento, a inibição na infância interrogava com o que, num segundo momento, entendemos como impotência no adulto. Os casos clínicos compõem o capítulo sobre impotência psíquica e sexualidade masculina, sendo que tais situações de tratamento conduziram às formulações sobre a natureza da inibição em cada uma delas. Foi assim que pensamos na inibição específica e na inibição generalizada, influenciada pelas formulações freudianas sobre tal noção. Na primeira o desejo se encontra impedido, enquanto na segunda a condição desejante do sujeito fica colocada em questão. Tal distinção nos parece fundamental para a escuta e condução de tratamentos nos quais o desaparecimento do desejo sexual permite reconhecer a existência de um sofrimento psíquico

Full textBackground: There are many reasons as to why a person receives a bowel ostomy, and this can affect the person’s view of their own body. A person's perception of the body is strongly linked to sexuality that is an important part of people's lives. Stoma surgery can also cause physical damage that causes problems in the sex life of the operated person. Patients with stoma will appear in all care settings, and it is therefore important for all nurses to be able to treat them. Aim: The aim was to illustrate how patients with an ostomy experience their sexuality Method: The method was a literature review where 15 scientific articles were reviewed, five of which were qualitative, nine quantitative and one used mixed method. The articles were identified through combinations of different keywords in the databases CINAHL Complete and Pubmed with a time span of the years 2008-2017. Results: In the results four main themes and six sub themes could be identified. The main themes were A Changed Body, Physical Sexual Function, A Changed Sex Life and Support from the Surroundings. The results showed that many patients experience problems with their sexuality related to their stoma, both physical problems and obstacles as a result of the patient's own thoughts about one's stoma. An increased need for support and information was also identified by the patients, both from an eventual partner and from the healthcare. Discussion: The result is discussed based on Parse's theory of humanbecoming. The discussion addresses topics about the lack of support and information for patients from the healthcare. The lack of research into women's sexual experiences with a stoma in comparison to the research that exists around men is also discussed.

Esta Dissertação de Mestrado em Psicologia Clínica focalizou o estudo de caso de pacientes que manifestavam impotência sexual. Com base nas contribuições do referencial psicanalítico, mais especificamente, das teorizações de Bleichmar acerca da constituição do psiquismo e da constituição sexual masculina, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa de delineamento qualitativo-exploratório. Dois estudos de casos de pacientes com disfunção erétil foram realizados, a partir dos relatos das sessões de psicoterapia. Os dados foram analisados por meio do Estudo de Caso em Psicanálise, identificando-se aspectos significativos da constelação familiar. Estes aspectos permitiram apontar a importância dos efeitos do processo de constituição do aparelho psíquico e constituição sexual masculina sobre as manifestações da sexualidade genital (adulta), bem como demonstrar a importância da escuta para reorganizar além da vida sexual, a potência diante da vida.
This Master's thesis in clinical psychology focused on the case study of patients who showed sexual impotence. Based on the contributions of psychoanalysis, more specifically, the theories of Bleichmar about the constitution of the psyche and of male sex, a study of exploratory qualitative research was designed. We investigated two case studies of patients with erectile dysfunction based on the reports of sessions of psychotherapy. Data were analyzed using the Case Study in Psychoanalysis. We identified significant aspects of family constellation that led to the conclusion about the importance of the effects of the constitution of the psychic apparatus and male sexual constitution on the manifestations of genital sexuality (adult). And also demonstrated the importance of listening to rearrange, beyond the sex life, the power to life.

Full textO Jambu (Spilanthes oleracea ou Spilanthes acmella var oleracea ou Acnella oleracea) à uma planta tÃpica da regiÃo norte do Brasil, mais precisamente do ParÃ. à utilizado na culinÃria paraense, fazendo parte do prato de peixes como o TacacÃ, o Pato no Tucupi. AlÃm da utilizaÃÃo na culinÃria, tem tido outras aplicaÃÃes, principalmente como analgÃsica, anti-inflamatÃria e antifÃngica. Recentemente, tem sido utilizado como estimulante sexual em mulheres. Segundo a cultura popular, o aumento da excitaÃÃo feminina decorreria de uma atividade contrÃtil (aumento do peristaltismo) na vulva. Entretanto, nenhum estudo bem conduzido foi publicado na literatura mÃdica para confirmar se isso à realmente verdade. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar se a pomada de Jambu realmente aumenta a excitaÃÃo e o desejo sexual feminino; se ocasiona algum impacto sobre o desejo e a satisfaÃÃo sexual masculina e, por fim, observar a sua seguranÃa e tolerabilidade. Dois ensaios clÃnicos randomizados, cruzados e placebo-controlados, foram realizados ao mesmo tempo: um para avaliar os homens que utilizaram o creme e o placebo e outro para avaliar as mulheres. Vinte e dois casais participaram do estudo. Utilizaram, durante as relaÃÃes sexuais, o creme de JAMBU e o placebo. Foram avaliados separadamente, por questionÃrios auto-aplicÃveis, antes e apÃs a utilizaÃÃo de cada pomada. Os questionÃrios utilizados foram o Ãndice Internacional de FunÃÃo ErÃtil (IIEF) e o Ãndice de Funcionamento Sexual Feminino (FSFI). A mÃdia de idade foi de 43,3 anos para os homens e de 40,5 anos para as mulheres. Verificou-se que, apÃs o tratamento, o desejo e a satisfaÃÃo sexual mensurados no grupo Jambu foram significantemente maiores que o observado no grupo Placebo, nos homens (P = 0,0008 e P = 0,0006, respectivamente). O desejo e a excitaÃÃo sexual na mulher mensurados no grupo Jambu tambÃm foram significantemente maiores que o observado no grupo Placebo (P = 0,0006 e P = 0,0005, respectivamente). Igualmente, apenas no grupo Jambu, houve um aumento significante sobre o desejo e a satisfaÃÃo sexual nos homens e sobre o desejo e a excitaÃÃo nas mulheres, apÃs o tratamento quando comparado aos valores basais (P = 0,0002 e P = 0,0003) e (P = 0,0001 e P = 0,0008, respectivamente). O mesmo nÃo ocorreu com o placebo. NÃo foi constatada diferenÃa estatisticamente significante em relaÃÃo à alteraÃÃo no tempo ejaculatÃrio (P = 0,7768) entre os grupos placebo e Jambu. TambÃm nÃo foi constatada diferenÃa estatisticamente significante em relaÃÃo à dor ou desconforto apÃs a utilizaÃÃo das pomadas, tanto no grupo masculino quanto no grupo feminino, (P = 0,7728 e P = 1,0000) entre os dois grupos. Conclui-se que o creme de Jambu (Acmella oleracea) aumentou a excitaÃÃo e o desejo sexual feminino e o desejo e a satisfaÃÃo sexual masculina durante atividade sexual, quando comparada ao placebo. NÃo houve alteraÃÃo no tempo ejaculatÃrio dos pacientes que utilizaram o creme. Os efeitos colaterais foram discretos e cessaram apÃs a sua remoÃÃo.
The toothache plant (Spilanthes oleracea or Spilanthes acmella oleracea or simply Acmella oleracea) is a well-known herb in Northern Brazil, especially in ParÃ, where it is referred to as jambu. Though commonly used in the local cuisine in dishes such as tacacà and pato-no-tucupi, it is also widely used to prepare analgesic, antiinflammatory and antifungal medications. Extracts of this plant have recently become popular as a topical sexual stimulant for women. The active substance in the herb, spilanthol, is believed to contract the vulva, but so far no medical study has been published confirming this. In the present randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover clinical study a cream was prepared from extracts of the toothache plant and tested with regard to its effect on female sexual desire and excitation and male sexual desire and satisfaction and ejaculation time, along with safety and tolerability. Twenty-two blinded couples used cream with and without extract of A. oleracea during two periods of 4 weeks. The participants were aged 43.3 years (men) and 40.5 years (women) on the average and were evaluated individually using self-reported questionnaires (the International Index of Erectile Function and The Female Sexual Function Index) before and after the use of each cream. Compared to placebo, male sexual desire and satisfaction (p=0.0008 and p=0.0006, respectively) and female sexual desire and excitation (p=0.0006 and p=0.0005, respectively) were significantly greater when couples were using the extract. Likewise, male sexual desire and satisfaction (p=0.0002 and p=0.0003, respectively) and female sexual desire and excitation (p=0.0001 and p=0.0008, respectively) only increased in relation to baseline values when couples were using extract. No significant differences were observed between extract and placebo with regard to ejaculation time (p=0.7768), nor with regard to pain and discomfort after intercourse, as reported by both genders (p=0.7728 and p=1.0000, respectively). It may be concluded that cream prepared from extracts of the toothache plant increased female sexual desire and excitation and male sexual desire and satisfaction during intercourse compared to placebo and baseline, without affecting ejaculation time. Side effects were negligible and subsided after completion of treatment.

CAPES
Além das perdas motoras e sensitivas, o trato urinário e a função sexual são também afetados pela lesão medular, sendo a disfunção sexual um dos problemas mais comuns nestes pacientes e sua gravidade depende no nível e da complexidade da lesão. A alteração da função sexual acontece devido às mudanças no processo neurofisiológico, mas fatores psicossociais podem estar associados à disfunção. A perda da realização sexual, quando comparada à perda de autonomia, pode parecer uma consequência minoritária da lesão medular. No entanto, a função sexual é um importante componente de saúde, com evidências de que a redução da função e satisfação sexual resultam em baixa qualidade de vida, além de um fator fundamental na motivação, bem estar e satisfação. Apesar da relevância, o desempenho sexual após lesão medular ainda é um tema pouco abordado e bastante negligenciado durante o processo de reabilitação, além de serem escassos os estudos que verificam associações mais aprofundadas sobre a função erétil e os demais componentes da função sexual, fatores explicativos e preditivos de disfunção. OBJETIVO: avaliar a função sexual de homens com lesão medular traumática e analisar a associação da disfunção com fatores fisiológicos e não fisiológicos. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Estudo observacional (CCAE 41221414.5.0000.5208) realizado com 45 homens, faixa etária entre 18 a 60 anos, com lesão medular traumática e vida sexual ativa. A função sexual foi avaliada pelo Índice Internacional de Função Erétil (IIFE) e nível e grau da lesão foram determinados seguindo as diretrizes da International Standards for Neurological Examination and Functional Classification of Spinal Cord Injury. Os dados foram coletados após seis meses da lesão, em hospitais de referência. Foram aplicadas técnicas de estatística descritiva e análise bivariada e multivariada, através de regressão logística ajustada para observar a associação entre a função sexual e fatores explicativos de disfunção, com nível de significância de 0,05. RESULTADOS: Participaram do estudo 45 indivíduos com idades entre 18 e 56 anos (média 34,0; IC 31,5 – 37,1) e tempo de lesão médio de 7,5 anos (IC 5,2 – 9,9). Lesões incompletas acima do segmento medular L2 foram as mais frequentes (66,7%). Ao analisar os domínios do IIFE, não foi observada associação entre disfunção sexual e complexidade da lesão, porém, os pacientes com lesões completas foram os que apresentaram mais grave disfunção orgástica (86,7%) e de satisfação (86,7%). Ao analisar a associação entre fatores explicativos para disfunção, percebeu-se que a presença parceira fixa é um fator protetor (OR: 0,22; IC95%:0,05-0,92) para disfunção erétil. Desejo sexual tem associação com parceira fixa (OR: 0,20; IC95%:0,04-0,84), masturbação (OR: 0,16; IC95%:0,04-0,67) e relação sexual no último mês (OR: 0,13; IC95%:0,01-0,92). Ejaculação presente (OR: 0,01; IC95%:0,00-0,15) foi considerado um fator protetor para disfunção orgástica, enquanto disfunção erétil (OR: 15,7; IC95%:1,38-178,58), um fator de risco. Ereção psicogênica (OR: 0,07; IC95%:0,01-0,69), frequência mensal de relação sexual (OR: 11,3; IC95%:2,0-62,8) e disfunção orgástica (OR: 7,1; IC95%:1,1-44,8) tem associação com satisfação. CONCLUSÃO: a resposta sexual altera-se após a lesão medular, tendo a função orgástica como a mais acometida, caracterizando o domínio que apresentou maior e mais grave disfunção. Fatores como presença de parceira fixa, ejaculação e masturbação são fatores de proteção para disfunção sexual. Disfunção erétil, orgástica e relações sexuais infrequentes são preditores de disfunção.
In addition to the motor and sensory loss, urinary tract and sexual function are also affected by spinal cord injury, and sexual dysfunction one of the most common problems in these patients and its severity depends on the level and complexity of the injury. The change in sexual function occurs due to changes in neurophysiological process, but psychosocial factors may be associated with dysfunction. The loss of sexual fulfillment, compared to a loss of autonomy, it may seem a minor consequence of spinal cord injury. However, sexual function is a major health component, with evidence that the reduction of sexual function and satisfaction resulting in lower quality of life, and a key factor in motivation and satisfaction welfare. Despite the relevance, sexual performance after spinal cord injury is still somewhat topic and largely neglected during the rehabilitation process, and few studies that verify deeper associations of erectile function and other sexual function, explanatory factors and predictive dysfunction. AIMS: To evaluate the sexual function of men with spinal cord injury and to analyze the association of the disorder with physiological and non-physiological factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Observational study (CEAC 41221414.5.0000.5208) conducted with 45 men, aged 18 to 60 years, with spinal cord injury and active sex life. Sexual function was assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and level and degree of injury were determined following the guidelines of the International Standards for Neurological and Functional Examination Classi fi cation of Spinal Cord Injury. Data were collected after six months of injury in referral hospitals. Descriptive statistical techniques were applied and bivariate and multivariate analysis using logistic regression adjusted to observe the association between sexual function and explanatory factors of dysfunction, with a 0.05 significance level. RESULTS: The study included 45 subjects aged between 18 and 56 years, mean 34.0 (CI 31.5 to 37.1) and average injury time in years 7.5 (CI 5.2 to 9.9). incomplete lesions above the spinal segment L2 were the most common (66.7%). By analyzing the domains of IIEF, there was no association between sexual dysfunction and complexity of the injury, however, patients with complete injuries were those with more severe orgasmic dysfunction (86.7%) and satisfaction (86.7%). When analyzing the association between explanatory factors for dysfunction, it was realized that a primary partner presence is a protective factor (OR: 0.22; 95% CI: .05-.92) for erectile dysfunction. sexual desire is associated with a steady partner (OR: 0.20; 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.84), masturbation (OR: 0.16; 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.67) and sexual intercourse in the last month (OR: 0.13; 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.92). This ejaculation (OR: 0.01; 95% CI: .00-.15) was considered a protective factor for orgasmic dysfunction as erectile dysfunction (OR: 15.7; 95% CI: 1.38 to 178.58), a risk factor. psychogenic erection (OR: 0.07; 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.69), monthly frequency of intercourse (OR: 11.3; 95% CI: 2.0 to 62.8) and orgasmic dysfunction (OR: 7.1; 95% CI: 1.1 to 44.8) is associated with satisfaction. CONCLUSION: the sexual response changes after spinal cord injury, and orgasmic function as the most affected, featuring the area with the highest and most severe dysfunction. Factors such as the presence of fixed partner, ejaculation and masturbation are protective factors for sexual dysfunction. erectile dysfunction, orgasmic and infrequent sex dysfunction are predictors.

Full textIntroduction: Infertility is a condition that affects, universally, a significant percentage (8- 15%) of couples. Infertility is often linked to an increase in sexual dysfunction rates and marital conflict. Objectives: To assess sexual function of infertile women and to assess the risk for anxiety and depression in infertile women. Methods: This is a controlled study with 280 women in reproductive age, being 140 women attended in Human Reproduction Sector of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the Ribeirão Preto Medical School, University of São Paulo (FMRP-USP), and 140 controls recruited from the general population in Ribeirão Preto - SP. Sexual function was assessed by the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and the risk for anxiety and depression was measured by the Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD-A, HAD-D). Results: Twenty eight women participated in this study, being 140 women in infertile group (IG) and 140 controls (CG). In the IG, 104 (74.29%) had primary infertility, and 36 (25.71%) secondary infertility. In the entire sample female factor was evident in 64 (45.71%) and male factor in 38 (27.73%), and both 35 (25.54%) cases. In the IG, 64 (45.71%) underwent FIV / ICSI. There was a significant difference between groups in relation to median age (IG 36 [32-38]; CG 34 [31-37]) (p = 0.02). There was no significant difference between groups in the number of women = 40 years (p = 0.40). There was no significant difference between groups regarding the age of partners, number of sexual intercourse/week, BMI, weight and marital status. There was difference between groups regarding the time of relationship (IG, 11.80 ± 4.84 years (1.50 to 24) vs. CG, 10.40 ± 5.73 (0.50 to 26), p = 0.03). Stratifying for relationship time in IG 10 (7.14%) were < 5 years of relationship vs. 27 (19.29%) in the CG, and IG 130 (92.86%) had > 5 year relationship vs. 113 (80.71%) CG (p <0.01). The risk for sexual dysfunction was observed in 47 (33.57%) of the IG, and in 49 (35%) of the control group (p = 0.90). There was no significant difference between the majority scores of FSFI, but there was significant difference between groups regarding arousal domain, which was higher in CG (p = 0.04). There was no difference between groups regarding the risk for anxiety and depression. Risk factors for sexual dysfunction (SD), anxiety and depression in both groups, adjusted for the variables: age, BMI, marital status, length of relationship, education, pregnancy, contraception, birth, psychotherapy, cigarettes, alcohol, partner\'s age, risk for SD, anxiety and risk for depression showed that women who are at risk for anxiety have a higher risk for SD. Women at risk for depression, showed increased risk for SD. The SD was a risk factor for anxiety and depression. Married women showed less risk for depression than women who only live together with a partner. Conclusion: Infertile women showed no risk for sexual dysfunction compared to controls. Anxiety and depression are risk for sexual dysfunction in this sample.

Full textHipoestrogenism causes structuralalteration on vaginal wall that can cause sexual problems. It has been reported vaginal wall thickness after menopause, however, without morphometric evidence. Objectives: To verify vaginal wall thickness in normal and hypoestrogenic conditions and to correlate sexual dysfunction with vaginal wall thickness, estrogen receptor expression and estradiol levels. Methods: Vagina surgical specimens of 18 pre and 13 post-menopausal women, submitted to surgery for genital prolapse I and II were examined. It had been surveyed: FSH and estradiol, prolactina and TSH to exclude other endocrinopatias. Masson´s tricrômico for morphometry and HE staining for histological analyses, and immunohistochemical staining for estrogen alpha receptor, quantified by H-score and the sexual function was accessed by GRISS. Results: Vaginal wall is thicker inthe post-menopausal group in relation to pre menopausal group (2,72±0,72mm e 2,16±0,43, p=0,01 e 2,63±0,71mm and 2,07±0, 49mm, p=0,01 anteriorand posterior wall, respectively). The fraction area and muscular layer thickness are bigger in the post-menopausal group (anterior: 1,54±0,44 and 1,09±0,3mm, p=0,02 and posterior wall 1,45±0,47 and 1,07±0,44mm, p=0,03 and 0,51±0,10 and 0,42±0,11mm2, p=0,03 and 0,40±0,10 and 0,49±0,08 mm2, p=0,02, respectively). Vaginal epithelium in the medium segment is thicker than the proximal one in the posterior wall (0,17±0,07mm, 0,15±0,05mm, 0,24±0,09mm, p=0,02). There is no correlation between coital pain, vaginal wall thickness and estradiol levels in the two groups. Conclusion:Vaginal wall is thicker after menopause. In this study, vaginal thickness and estrogen levels are not related to sexual dysfunction.

Full textBackground: It is commonly known that erectile dysfunction, popularly known as impotence, is caused by several factors including enlarged prostate, depression and diabetes. The erectile dysfunction caused by diabetes has a more difficult progress than other causes.Aim: The aim of this study was to illustrate sexually active men’s experiences of erectile dysfunction caused by diabetes mellitus type 2. Method: The chosen method was a literature review based of qualitative and quantitative articles. Ten quantitative and two qualitative articles were analysed. Results: Two categories were identified, Affects on life and Understanding the situation with subcategories. Conclusions: There is lack of knowledge about why men suffer from erectile dysfunction. Several of the men do not believe there is a treatment for their problem. If erection status was a part of the annual diabetes check-ups as well as valid information and adequate treatment the men and their partner would have better knowledge and awareness about the condition. This would also result in less anxiety, better sexual and mental health and a better relation.

O presente estudo caracteriza e analisa a história de casais que apresentam diagnóstico de disfunção sexual masculina. Parte-se da hipótese de que a satisfação conjugal, avaliada a partir de uma perspectiva individual, não é suficiente para revelar os processos desses casais, pois a observação revela que não obstante as queixas de insatisfação sexual a união entre eles fica preservada uma vez que os casais valorizam o amor, afeto e desenvolvimento de afinidades entre os cônjuges ao longo do casamento. Foram entrevistados quatro pares, encaminhados por profissionais da área de saúde para acompanhamento psicoterápico com a pesquisadora com enfoque sexual. Eles foram selecionados com base nos seguintes critérios de inclusão: casais de dupla carreira; união heterossexual; diagnóstico de disfunção masculina; relacionamento com cerca de dez anos de existência; de filhos; nível socioeducacional médio. Aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa, o estudo observou os requisitos da pesquisa com seres humanos. As entrevistas em profundidade seguiram um temário construído especialmente para essa investigação, que contempla categorias sistêmicas que visam reconstituir a história do casal, a história do casamento, a história sexual e perspectivas para o futuro. As categorias são: eventos críticos, conflitos, estratégias para divisão de tarefas, significados do casal sobre satisfação conjugal e satisfação sexual. Os conteúdos produzidos por cada casal foram analisados com base nessas categorias e os resultados foram discutidos com base a visão masculina e feminina em relação à temática, fazendo uma análise comparativa dos dados obtidos com a literatura nacional e internacional.
The present essay describes and the history of marital couples analyzes who have a diagnosis of male sexual dysfunction. It starts with the hypothesis that marital satisfaction, ]assessed from an individual perspective, is not enough to reveal the processes of these couples, because observation reveals that despite the complaints of sexual dissatisfaction marriage between them is preserved as other circunstances, such as love,.affection andaffinities, play a significant role in presening the marital status. In order to explore the dynamics of marital couples, four pairs were interviewed according to the following inclusion criteria: dual-career couples; heterosexual union; Diagnosis of male dysfunction; relationship with about ten years of existence; of children; middle social and educational level. Approved by the ethics committee for research the study strictly observed the requirements of human research. The depth interviews occurred from an agenda specially created for this research; the agenda includes systemic categories that aim to reconstruct the history of the couple, history of marriage, sexual history and future prospects. These categories are: mutual concept of marital and sexual satisfaction. The results were analyzed based on these categories and were discussed from both, male and female vision of the theme by making an investigative analysis of data obtained from the national and international literature.

A disfunção sexual é considerada um problema de saúde pública, por sua alta incidência em homens de todas as idades. O desempenho sexual é um dos aspectos de grande influência no bem-estar psicológico do ser humano, já que a sexualidade pode ser considerada um importante pólo estruturante da identidade e da personalidade dos indivíduos. Casos de disfunção sexual podem tanto originar, quanto serem originados por estados emocionais como ansiedade e depressão, bem como influenciar ou serem influenciados por aspectos da personalidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar as características de personalidade e a incidência de ansiedade e depressão em homens com disfunção erétil e ejaculação precoce. Foram aplicados o Inventário de Depressão de Beck II (BDI-II), o Inventário de Ansiedade de Beck (BAI) e a Bateria Fatorial de Personalidade (BFP) em 42 pacientes de uma clínica de andrologia de Porto Alegre, com diagnóstico de disfunção sexual psicogênica e idade entre 18 e 45 anos. Os dados foram analisados quantitativamente, através de análise estatística descritiva e inferencial. Como resultado, foi encontrada incidência significativa de ansiedade e depressão em portadores de EP e DE, sendo que os últimos tiveram escores maiores. O alto escore em neuroticismo pareceu ser o fator de personalidade mais associado a essas disfunções. Com esse estudo, pretendeu-se obter um maior conhecimento a respeito dos aspectos emocionais e das características de personalidade desses pacientes, contribuindo assim para o seu tratamento.
Sexual dysfunction is considered a public health problem due to its high incidence on men throughout different age groups. The sexual performance is one aspect which influences the quality of human well-being, since it is a key element in identity organization and individual personality. Cases of sexual dysfunction can be originated by emotional states, such as anxiety and depression, as well as originate them. The objective of this study is to investigate personality characteristics and the incidence of anxiety and depression in men with erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. The Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Bateria Fatorial de Personalidade (BFP) were used to evaluate 42 patients from an andrology clinic in Porto Alegre, with a diagnostic of psychogenic sexual dysfunction and ages between 18 and 45 years old. Data were computed through quantitative descriptive and inferential statistic analysis. With this study, we aimed to gain a better understanding in relation to emotional aspects and personality of these patients, contributing to its treatment.

Recent years have seen a rise in the medicalization of treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED). While there has been a divide between the medical and psychological communities, some have called for a more collaborative relationship. Little research has been done on the collaboration between medical professionals and psychotherapists in treating ED. This study seeks to increase current knowledge about medical professionals’ referral practices and communication post-referral. An online survey was developed and distributed to the members of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America (SMSNA) (N = 541). Survey questions inquired as to the factors that increased participants’ willingness to refer ED patients, the form of communication participants currently desire to have with psychotherapists and the participants’ desired level of communication with psychotherapists to whom they might refer. Less than ten percent of the medical professionals invited to participate in the study completed the survey (n=50). Those who did complete the survey were primarily male, specialized in urology and practiced in the U.S. Almost half the respondents were employed in an academic setting while just over half of respondents worked in hospital-based, group, or solo practices. Just over half of the survey participants practiced in urban areas. Although the number of medical professionals who completed the survey was small, findings indicated that those who completed a sexual medicine fellowship and who had a larger percentage of their patient population being seen for ED were more likely to refer patients to psychotherapists. Participants who have referred ED patients to psychotherapists reported little-to-no communication between them and the psychotherapists to whom they refer. The study participants expressed a desire to refer patients to psychotherapists who are experienced in working with both sexual and couples issues. Questions about the desires and experiences of medical professionals who have not referred to psychotherapists were not able to be answered because of the limited number of these individuals in the data set. Although the number of participants who completed the survey limits the generalizability of the data, this study demonstrates that most medical professionals who responded to the survey are willing to refer ED patients to psychotherapists.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly prevalent and is currently a worldwide public health problem. It entails physical and psychological consequences and requires adaptation and change of lifestyle. Also, alterations in sexual function of men and women affected by such a disease, as well as decrease in libido are found in both sexes. Objective: to evaluate the performance and sexual satisfaction of women with chronic kidney disease and compare levels of performance and sexual satisfaction in the two main modalities of renal replacement therapy – hemodialysis and renal transplantation. Method: a descriptive cross-sectional study with 49 women enrolled in renal replacement therapy modalities (hemodialysis and renal transplantation) at Hospital de Base in the city of São José do Rio Preto - SP. For data collection, it was used data sheet containing socio-demographic information, scale for evaluation of sexual activity in women (SQ-F) and semi-structured interview. Results: 65,3% of collaborators have reported intense changes in body image after CKD, as well as decrease in libido and sexual performance. About 89,8% of collaborators present impairement in the SQ-F question regarding sexual desire. In the comparison between treatments, difference was significant in all SQ-F, except for question related to pain. When the total score of the instrument was evaluated, the group undergoing hemodialysis achieved a mean score of 39,0 (poor to unfavorable), and the kidney transplant group 70,0 (regular to good). Transplant collaborators has nine times greater chance (odds ratio – 9,2) of achieving better score in the instrument. Conclusion: the performance and sexual satisfaction of women with chronic kidney disease are impaired, which may be associated with different factors. In the comparison between groups, this study demonstrated significantly better sexual functioning in the transplant group.
A doença renal crônica apresenta elevada prevalência e constitui atualmente, um problema de saúde pública mundial. Acarreta consequências físicas, psicológicas e exige adaptação e mudança de estilo de vida. São também encontradas alterações na função sexual de homens e mulheres acometidos pela Doença Renal Crônica, assim como a diminuição da libido em ambos os sexos. Objetivo: avaliar o desempenho e a satisfação sexual de mulheres portadoras de Doença Renal Crônica e comparar os níveis desempenho e satisfação sexual nas duas principais modalidades de terapia renal substitutiva – hemodiálise e transplante renal. Método: estudo descritivo transversal, tendo como participantes 49 mulheres inseridas em modalidades de terapia renal substitutiva: Hemodiálise e Transplante Renal no Hospital de Base na cidade de São José do Rio Preto - SP. Foi utilizada para coleta de dados, ficha contendo informações sócio demográficas, escala para avaliação da atividade sexual na mulher (QS-F) e entrevista semiestruturada. Resultados: 65,3% das colaboradoras identificaram mudanças intensas na imagem corporal após a DRC. Assim como, diminuição na libido e no desempenho sexual. Cerca de 89,8% das colaboradoras apresentam prejuízo na questão do QS-F referente ao desejo sexual. Na comparação entre os tratamentos, a diferença foi significativa em todas as questões do QS-F, exceto na questão relacionada à dor. Quando avaliado pelo escore total do instrumento o grupo em tratamento hemodialítico alcançou a pontuação média de 39,0 (ruim a desfavorável), já o grupo de transplante renal 70,0 (de regular a bom). As colaboradoras em transplante apresentam probabilidade nove vezes maior (odds ratio – 9,2) de alcançarem melhor escore no instrumento. Conclusão: houve prejuízo clinicamente significativo no desempenho e satisfação sexual das mulheres portadoras de doença renal crônica, alterações que podem estar associadas a diferentes fatores. Na comparação de grupos, este estudo demonstrou um funcionamento sexual significativamente melhor no grupo transplante.

INTRODUCTION: Sexual dysfunctions are changes that often affect women with breast cancer as a result of multiple factors, particularly physical changes, treatment and course of the disease, but they can also be associated with cases of anxiety and depression. PURPOSE: Evaluate sexual dysfunction in women with breast cancer and associated factors. METHODS: Cross-sectional study with 167 women being treated for breast cancer at an oncology reference hospital in Goiânia-GO, from August to November 2014. Factors associated with sexual dysfunction in this group were assessed using a semi-structured script prepared by the researcher, the field of sexuality: desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain / discomfort were analyzed by applying the "Female Sexual Function Index (IFSF)" and anxiety and depression were checked using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS ). The project was approved by the ethics committee of Hospital das Clinicas of research at the Federal University of Goiás and the Association Against Cancer in Goiás. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test, Student's t test and Pearson's correlation considering the significance level of p <0.05. RESULTS: It was found that 79.0% of the sample had sexual dysfunction and of these, 86.8% and 86.3% had anxiety and depression, respectively. There was an association between various treatments for breast cancer as mastectomy, quadrantectomy, chemotherapy, chemo / radiotherapy (p <0.05) and the decline in scores in all areas of sexuality (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain / discomfort) in women with sexual dysfunction. Other factors such as comorbidities (p = 0.042) and nonexistent menstrual cycle (p = 0.014) showed a significant association with sexual dysfunction in this group. There was a significant association between the presence of sexual dysfunction and anxiety in women with breast cancer (p = 0.038). Regarding the fields of sexuality it found that women with sexual dysfunction had a positive and significant correlation between anxiety and sexual arousal and a significant correlation, but inversely, between depression and sexual desire. CONCLUSION: Sexual dysfunction has affected 79% of women with breast cancer, causing decline in scores in all areas of sexuality. Factors such as comorbidity, non-existent menstrual cycle and anxiety were significantly associated with sexual dysfunction. Depression has an inverse correlation to the domain desire in this group.
INTRODUÇÃO: As disfunções sexuais são alterações que frequentemente acometem mulheres com câncer de mama em decorrência de múltiplos fatores, em especial modificações físicas, tratamento e percurso da doença, mas também pode associar-se a quadros de ansiedade e depressão. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a disfunção sexual em mulheres com câncer de mama e seus fatores associados. METODOLOGIA: Estudo transversal realizado com 167 mulheres, em tratamento para o câncer de mama, em um hospital referência em oncologia em Goiânia-GO, no período de agosto a novembro de 2014. Os fatores associados à disfunção sexual nesse grupo foram avaliados utilizando um roteiro semiestruturado elaborado pela pesquisadora, os domínios da sexualidade: desejo, excitação, lubrificação, orgasmo, satisfação e dor/desconforto foram analisados aplicando o “Índice de Função Sexual Feminina (IFSF)” e a ansiedade e depressão verificadas utilizando a Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão (HADS). O projeto foi aprovado pelo comitê de ética em pesquisa do Hospital das Clinicas da Universidade Federal de Goiás e pela Associação de Combate ao Câncer em Goiás. Para análise dos dados foram utilizados os testes do qui-quadrado, teste t de Student e correlação de Pearson, considerando o nível de significância para p<0,05. RESULTADOS: Verificou-se que 79,0% da amostra apresentou disfunção sexual e destas, 86,8% e 86,3% apresentou ansiedade e depressão, respectivamente. Houve uma associação entre diversos tratamentos para o câncer de mama, como mastectomia, quadrantectomia, quimioterapia, quimio/radioterapia (p<0,05) e o declínio nos escores em todos os domínios da sexualidade (desejo, excitação, lubrificação, orgasmo, satisfação e dor/desconforto) nas mulheres com disfunção sexual. Outros fatores como comorbidades (p=0,042) e ciclo menstrual inexistente (p=0,014) demonstraram associação significativa com a disfunção sexual nesse grupo. Houve uma associação significativa entre a presença de disfunção sexual e ansiedade nas mulheres com câncer de mama (p=0,038). Em relação aos domínios da sexualidade verificou-se que mulheres com disfunção sexual apresentaram uma correlação positiva e significativa entre ansiedade e excitação sexual e uma correlação significativa, mas inversamente proporcional, entre depressão e desejo sexual. CONCLUSÃO: A disfunção sexual afetou 79% das mulheres com câncer de mama, causando declínio nos escores em todos os domínios da sexualidade. Fatores como comorbidade, ciclo menstrual inexistente e ansiedade foram significativamente associados à disfunção sexual. A depressão apresenta uma correlação inversamente proporcional ao domínio desejo nesse grupo.

Full textAims: The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) is a scale to assess sexual dysfunction in women. This study compared sexual function of women with urinary incontinence before and after surgical treatment. Methods: This nonrandomized clinical controlled trial was conducted in the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre and in Irmandade Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre from August 2009 to November 2011, to evaluate the sexual function of women with urinary incontinence that underwent surgical treatment (Burch or sling procedure). The sample comprised 38 women that answered the FSFI questionnaire before operation and six months after the intervention. Results: Thirty-eight women were included in the study and signed an informed consent term. Mean age was 48.3 years; all were sexually active, had studied for at least eight years (65.8%), had steady partners whose mean age was 54 years and with whom they had lived for a mean 22.5 years. The desire and arousal domains improved significantly after surgery for all the women included in the study. Conclusions: The patients that had cystocele had an improvement in sexual function in the discomfort and pain domain.
