简要总结
Infertility, defined as the inability to become pregnant after one year of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. It is estimated that around 20 % of couples suffer from infertility with prevalence rates of infertility differing substantial among countries .
Sexual function in females is very complex and is affected by many factors. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction is higher in infertile patients compared to the normal population .
Whether sexual dysfunction is the cause or consequence of subfertility is difficult to establish. For instance, sexual dysfunction might result in decreased coital frequency compounding the issue of subfertility due to reduced exposure. On the other hand, the psychological pressure to get pregnant stemming from sex on demand could result in a reduction in enjoyment of sex aggravating sexual dysfunction. Indeed, situational sexual dysfunction and loss of a couple's intimacy may occur as a consequence of timed intercourse where focus for coitus is no longer pleasure but conception .
详细描述
Our work is an observational analytic cross-sectional study that included an Egyptian convenient sample of 186 females with primary infertility due to polycystic ovary syndrome.
Patients aged 18-35 were recruited from Kasr Al-Ainy Gynecology Clinic (Infertility Clinic) Medicine Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University. They were diagnosed with primary infertility and polycystic ovary by Rotterdam criteria .
Patients with medical conditions (apart from PCOS complications like type II diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome) or receiving antidepressant therapy were excluded. Females with other causes of infertility associated with PCOS (e.g uterine factors, tubal factors) were not included. Patients with history of psychotic disorders or substance abuse were excluded. All patients approved to participate in the study and signed an informed consent to confirm this approval.
