Women with pelvic floor disorders PFDs , such as pelvic organ prolapse POP and stress urinary incontinence SUI , commonly have problems related to sexual function 5 - 7. This includes aspirin and alcohol, which can thin the blood. The preoperative assessments were conducted by one investigator. This procedure starts the same way as an aspiration abortion, with the doctor applying pain medication, checking your uterus, and dilating your cervix.

The sexual function score, but not for genital appearance, was higher in the patients satisfied with their sexual life. The increased androgen levels during embryonic development cause virilization of the external genitalia in females, although often less pronounced in the SV group than in the SW variant. Furthermore, the surgical procedure was correlated with the outcome
Aspiration abortions The average clinic visit will last up to three to four hours for an aspiration abortion. Females with congenital adrenal hyperplasia CAH due to a CYP21A2 deficiency are exposed to androgens during fetal development, resulting in virilization of the external genitalia. In puberty, most patients were reoperated on to correct vaginal stenosis. The aim of this study was to assess sexual function using a validated sexual function questionnaire administered following vaginal surgery for anterior vaginal wall prolapse. Like the aspiration abortion, the doctor inserts a tube attached to a suction machine to the uterus through the cervix and, combined with other medical tools, it will gently empty the uterus. The IN mutation is associated with the simple virilizing SV variant, in which the synthesis of aldosterone is less impaired. An additional aim was to assess the overall results of the different aspects reported previously from this cohort of patients and to correlate the results with the CYP21A2 genotype. Important issues in the care of these patients are the effects these women themselves feel that the disease has had on their life situation regarding genital virilization, surgery, and psychosexual and psychosocial adaptation. Notably, all three patients in a subgroup of partial resection sparing more tissue around the nerves and vessels before placing the clitoris sc reported better sensitivity. It is essential that the compression garment worn during the recovery period provides targeted compression. The FSFI is used to investigate problems with sexual function in the previous four weeks. Thirteen patients had no surgery. The McCoy sexual rating scale was first used to study the effects of menopause on sexuality and sexual function during the previous month Age at first surgery was recorded. It is now generally accepted that prenatal androgen exposure results in dose-related masculinization in play behavior 6 , 7. Your doctor will first insert a speculum and examine your uterus. The actual aspiration procedure takes approximately five to 10 minutes, though more time may be needed for dilation. SIS graft or traditional anterior colporrhaphy. In conclusion, the initial degree of virilization and the type of surgery chosen seemed to be important for preserving sensitivity. The length and width of the clitoris was measured, and a clitoral index was calculated by multiplying width and length in millimeters. Sensitivity in the genital region was assessed using a cotton tip, asking the patient to compare the sensitivity with that of the inside of the thigh: A Valsalva maneuver or cough demonstrated the maximum descent of the involved pelvic organ. Subjects were excluded if they had undergone pelvic radiotherapy or if they had pelvic sepsis, gynecologic cancer, vulvovaginal infections, a current history of smoking or alcoholism, any chronic disabling diseases, or hypertension. Furthermore, the surgical procedure was correlated with the outcome Clitoral surgery has been questioned and has become more restrictive after the reported postoperative loss of sensitivity 3 — 5. The surgical outcome, including genital appearance and clitoral sensitivity, was evaluated by clinical examination.
