Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the burden and identify correlates of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) among women with prediabetes (PreD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) enrolled in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) Outcomes Study (DPPOS). METHODS The DPPOS visit included the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) to determine sexual function. Of 1464 participants, 1320 (90%) completed the (FSFI) and 426 were sexually active. A backward selection multivariable logistic regression model estimated the odds of FSD for sociodemographic, clinical, and diabetes-related covariates. RESULTS One hundred and eighty-five (43%) had a score of ≤26.55 and met the criteria for FSD. After adjustment for DPP treatment and age, urinary incontinence (UI) (odds ratio [OR] = 1.91, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.15-3.17) and hysterectomy (OR = 1.89, 95% CI = 1.01-3.53) were associated with increased odds of FSD. Increased body mass index was protective for FSD (OR = 0.93 per kg/m2, 95% CI = 0.89-0.96). Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument-based peripheral neuropathy (mean±SD scores 1.1±1.3 vs. 0.9±1.1, p < 0.0001) and Electrocardiogram (ECG)-based autonomic dysfunction measures (mean ± SD heart rate levels 64.3 ± 6.8 vs. 65.6 ± 10.2, p = 0.008) were associated with FSD. There were no differences in diabetes rates between women who did (66.5%) and did not (66%) have (p = 0.7). CONCLUSIONS FSD is prevalent in women with PreD and T2D. Our findings suggest that FSD is associated with neuropathic complications commonly observed in PreD and T2D.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review provides evidence-based updates for the first-line management approaches for pelvic floor disorders in patients with gynecologic malignancies, as well as important provider considerations when referring for pelvic floor physical therapy. RECENT FINDINGS Currently, there is strong evidence to recommend pelvic floor muscle training as initial treatment for urinary incontinence and for pelvic organ prolapse; some evidence to recommend a more targeted pelvic floor muscle training program for fecal incontinence; and mostly expertise-based evidence to recommend vaginal gels or estrogen to aid with dyspareunia causing sexual dysfunction. More research is greatly needed to understand the role of overactive pelvic floor muscles in survivors with chronic pelvic pain and the treatment of post-radiation pelvic complications such as vaginal stenosis and cystitis. While pelvic floor disorders are common concerns in gynecologic cancer survivors, there are evidence-based initial noninvasive treatment approaches that can provide relief for many individuals.

Am J Obstet Gynecol MFM 2023; 5:101189. [PMID: 37832645 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajogmf.2023.101189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Placenta accreta spectrum can lead to uncontrollable massive hemorrhage in the perinatal period. Currently, the first-line treatment for placenta accreta spectrum recommended worldwide is hysterectomy. However, adverse outcomes after hysterectomy, including surgical complications, such as difficulty in performing the procedure, and sequelae, such as infertility and psychological issues, cannot be ignored. Several surgical approaches for conservative treatment have been proposed. There are few reports on the effectiveness, safety, and long-term complications of conservative treatments, especially subsequent pregnancy outcomes. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes and identify risk factors of subsequent pregnancies among patients with placenta accreta spectrum who had undergone conservative surgery. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective cohort study of subsequent pregnancy cases after cesarean delivery with conservative treatment for placenta accreta spectrum from 2011 to 2019 at The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University to identify clinical outcomes of subsequent pregnancies and the risk factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes. RESULTS A total of 883 patients undergoing conservative surgery were included in this study, among which 604 (68.4%) were successfully followed up. There were 75 successful pregnancies in 72 patients, including 22 full-term or near-term deliveries, 1 induced labor in the second trimester of pregnancy, 6 cesarean scar pregnancies (8.0%), 2 ectopic pregnancies, and 44 first-trimester pregnancies (3 miscarriages and 41 elective abortions and 12 medical abortions and 32 vacuum aspirations). All newborns survived in the 22 full-term or near-term deliveries. Moreover, 5 placenta accreta spectrum cases (22.7%) and 6 placenta previa cases were observed. Postpartum hemorrhage was observed in 2 cases, with an incidence rate of 9.1%. All parameters, including age at subsequent pregnancy, gravidity, number of cesarean deliveries, type of previous placenta accreta spectrum, gestational week of pregnancy termination, interpregnancy interval, and the use of vascular occlusion techniques, were not found to be associated with recurrent placenta accreta spectrum and cesarean scar pregnancy. CONCLUSION Our findings show that treatment for placenta accreta spectrum does not automatically preclude a subsequent pregnancy. However, patients should be fully informed about the risk of recurrent placenta accreta spectrum, scar pregnancy, and postpartum hemorrhage.

Abstract
In this narrative review, we describe historical and contemporary influences that prevent patients with fibroids from getting appropriate medical care. Using patient stories as examples, we highlight how misogyny on all levels hurts patients and prevents medical teams from doing their best. Importantly, inequity and disparities result in massive gaps in care delivery. We suggest that we, as gynecologists and surgeons, must join public discourse on this topic to highlight the inadequacies of care delivery and the reasons behind it, suggest potential solutions, and join patients and communities in formulating and implementing remedies.

Abstract
Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) has become a novel minimally invasive approach applied as an option to perform hysterectomy. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of LESS hysterectomy on the sexual function in women with benign gynecologic indications. From October 2016 to May 2021, a total of 486 premenopausal, sexually active women were eligible. Female sexual function index (FSFI) was used to assess sexual function preoperatively and 6, 12 months postoperatively. Total FSFI score ≤26.55 indicated female sexual dysfunction (FSD). Compared with pre-operation, each subdomain and total FSFI scores increased at 6 (all p < 0.05) and 12 months (all p < 0.001). Prevalence of FSD decreased at 6 (30 vs 39.9%, p = 0.002) and 12 months (27 vs 39.9%, p < 0.001). In patients with preoperative FSD, each subdomain and total FSFI scores improved at 6 and 12 months (all p < 0.001), while decreased at 6 months (p < 0.001) and had no significant difference at 12 months (p = 0.54) in patients without preoperative FSD. These results suggest that LESS hysterectomy has a significant positive effect on the sexual function in women with benign gynecologic diseases, especially those with preoperative FSD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the influence of surgical approach, complications and patient characteristics and their postoperative functional outcomes on (sexual) quality of life (QoL) in patients with deep endometriosis (DE) with bowel involvement. METHODS Retrospective cohort study on patients surgically treated for DE in a Dutch tertiary referral hospital. Data are based on surgical records and questionnaires covering current postoperative bowel function and (sexual) QoL. RESULTS Postoperative functional score outcomes: constipation, fecal incontinence and Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) did not differ between patients treated with rectal shaving or segmental resection. Thirty percent of women treated with rectal shaving experienced LARS-like symptoms as well. Women who underwent segmental resection had a worse sexual QoL compared to patients managed by shaving. Patients who suffered from complications had a worse postoperative QoL. A higher postoperative constipation score was correlated with a significantly higher pain score and a lower overall and sexual QoL. LARS-score was correlated with a worsened sexual QoL. CONCLUSION Women who underwent surgery for deep endometriosis rated their overall QoL as lower when a complication occurred. Segmental resection resulted in a lower sexual QoL compared to shaving. We showed that a higher LARS-score correlates with a lower sexual QOL, and postoperative constipation with more pain and a lower overall and sexual QoL. Interestingly, after using the shaving technique one-third of the patients experienced LARS-like symptoms as well.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Vaginal length (VL), size and width may show individual differences among women. Hysterectomy causes VL shortening in patients, and this shortening varies according to the type of hysterectomy performed. Some studies in literature have shown that the shortened VL after hysterectomy may cause dyspareunia and have a negative effect on female sexuality. The aim of this study is to compare preoperative and postoperative vaginal lengths, vaginal shortening rate (VSR) not used before in the literature, and postoperative sexual functions according to hysterectomy types. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the study, which included 136 [55 Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH), 33 Vaginal Hysterectomy (VH), 48 Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH)] sexually active patients under the age of 60 who underwent hysterectomy, the patients were divided into three groups according to the type of hysterectomy performed. Groups were compared in terms of demographic variables, preoperative/postop and control VL, vaginal shortening rate and The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) scores. RESULTS Vaginal lengths measured after TLH was longer and vaginal lengths measured after VAH was shorter, the difference was significant (p < 0.01). VSRs were 15.9% in TAH group, 10.9% in VH group and 8.3% in TLH group (p < 0.05). Total FSFI score was higher in TLH group than TAH and VH group (p < 0.01). Group of VSR>15% had statistically significantly lower FSFI scores in lubrication, orgasm, pain and total score than both the VSR<10% group and the VSR 10-15% group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Calculating the VSR after hysterectomy instead of postoperative VL measurement will allow us to obtain more individual and accurate results in predicting postoperative sexual functions. We found that TLH is the best hysterectomy method in terms of preserving sexual functions due to less loss of vaginal tissue in the postoperative period from these three techniques that are frequently.

Abstract
BackgroundHysterectomy is one of the most frequently performed operations worldwide. However, postoperative complications and body image changes may induce psychological distress after hysterectomy. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of psychological intervention on pelvic floor function and psychological outcomes following hysterectomy among patients with benign indications.MethodsNinety-nine patients underwent hysterectomy were randomly divided into intervention group (n = 50) and control group (n = 49). Patients in the control group received routine postoperative nursing care, while extra psychological intervention was provided to patients in the intervention group, including psychological support, regular lectures and family support. After 6 months, patient's psychological statuses were assessed by Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). The pelvic floor function of patients was evaluated using Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ-7) and Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12). Furthermore, the incidence of postoperative complications, including uracratia, pelvic organ prolapses, sexual dysfunction and chronic pelvic pain, was evaluated.ResultsAfter 6-month intervention, the GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores were significantly decreased in the intervention group (p < 0.001 and p = 0.018 respectively). Both scored were significantly lower than that in the control group (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001). Compared with control group, the incidence of uracratia, pelvic organ prolapse, sexual dysfunction and chronic pelvic pain for intervention group was significantly lower (p = 0.003, p = 0.027, p = 0.001, p = 0.002 respectively) and the pelvic floor muscle strength was significantly stronger (p = 0.001). Besides, the postoperative Urinary Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (UIQ-7), Pelvic Organ Prolapse Impact Questionnaire (POPIQ-7), and Colorectal-Anal Impact Questionnaire (CRAIQ-7) scores were significantly lower (p = 0.025, p = 0.04, p < 0.001) and PISQ-12 score was significantly higher in intervention group (p < 0.001).ConclusionPsychological intervention could effectively improve the psychological condition of patients with hysterectomy, which may facilitate patients' postoperative recovery in pelvic floor function. These findings emphasized the necessity of psychological intervention in routine postoperative nursing care.

Abstract
Background The distinguished Triple-P procedure has been reported as a conservative surgical alternative to peripartum hysterectomy for placental accreta spectrum (PAS). In this study, we modified the procedure combined with prophylactic abdominal aorta balloon occlusion and/or tourniquet and evaluated the effect and long-term outcomes. Methods This was a retrospective study involving pregnant patients with clinically confirmed severe PAS (including placenta increta and percreta) between January 1st, 2017 and June 30th, 2020 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. A total of 334 pregnant women were recruited in this study. The 142 women that were subjected to modified Triple P Procedure were regarded as the observation group while 194 pregnant women that were treated with other sutures were regarded as the control group. Demographic characteristics, placental accreta spectrum score (PAS score), estimated blood loss (EBL), operative time, blood transfusion rate and volume, neonatal weight, post-operative hospital stays and costs were evaluated. Short-term complications, including fever, hematoma, thrombus, bladder rupture and intensive care unit (ICU) transfer rate, as well as long-term outcomes including breast feeding, menstruation, intrauterine adhesion, and chronic abdominal pain among others were followed up in the outpatient clinic and by phone calls. Results For all cases, EBL was lower in the observation group than in the control group, 1,200 (687–1,812) ml and 1,300 (800–2,500) ml, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Operative time were statistically significantly shorter in the observation group [99.5 (84.0–120.0) min and 109.0 (83.8–143.0) min, P < 0.05]. Lengths of postoperative hospital stays were 4 (4–7) and 5 (4–7) days in the observation and control group, which was significantly shorter in the observation group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in PAS scores, blood transfusion volume, neonatal weight, fever, hematoma, thrombus, bladder rupture and ICU transfer rates between the two groups. All patients, except one in control group, had preserved uterus. There were no statistically significant differences in short-term and long-term complications between two groups. Conclusion In summary, when combined with tourniquet and/or prophylactic abdominal aorta balloon occlusion, modified Triple-P procedure may be effective in reducing intraoperative blood loss and hysterectomy in patients with placenta increta/percreta. It is a safe and effective surgical alternative to peripartum hysterectomy. However, the complications associated with interventional radiology service should be evaluated furthermore.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) and sexual function of women who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and total laparoscopic hysterectomy. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, a total of 121 patients who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy (N.=65) and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (N.=56) operations for benign indications were included. Sociodemographic features, obstetric histories, and clinical characteristics of the patients were noted. Quality of life assessment was conducted with the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF questionnaire, which has five domains: overall quality of life + health, physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment. Sexual function was assessed by the Golombok-Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction Scale with subscales of infrequency, non-communication, avoidance, non-sensuality, dissatisfaction, vaginismus, and anorgasmia. The patients were asked to fill in both questionnaires before the operation and six months after the operation. RESULTS Of the 121 patients, 104 of them completed the postoperative surveys. In the total laparoscopic hysterectomy group, the individual improvements of the overall quality of life + health physical, and psychological health domains were statistically higher than the total abdominal hysterectomy group. In terms of sexual function, the total abdominal hysterectomy group had worse avoidance, non-sensuality, dissatisfaction, and vaginismus subscale scores and total score both in the preoperative and postoperative period compared to the total laparoscopic hysterectomy group. However, the individual differences and the number of patients exhibiting sexual dysfunction before and after surgery were not statistically significant in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic hysterectomy was superior to abdominal hysterectomy in improving the quality of life of the patients. Both abdominal and laparoscopic hysterectomies were not found to affect female sexuality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Determination of the effect of hysterectomy due to benign diseases on female sexual function DATA SOURCES: A search was performed on Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, ProQuest, ISI Web of Knowledge and Embase databases. The keywords included Hysterectomy (as exposure) and Female sexual function (as outcome). Original English observational studies, including cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies published as of February 2021, which reported an association between any type of hysterectomy due to benign female disease and sexual function as an outcome, were included in the study. Studies in participants who received HRT and had sex other than heterosexuals were not included. There was no limit to the initial search period, and articles published by February 2021 were searched. METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION The search process resulted in the retrieval of 5,587 potentially related articles. After removing duplicated studies, the title and abstract were reviewed and 77 articles remained with the removal of unrelated items. The full text of 14 articles was published in non-English languages, and 52 articles were removed because they did not meet the inclusion criteria, and finally 11 articles were included in the final analysis. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess the methodological quality of included studies. The evidence was synthesized using meta-analysis via random effect model with the Der Simonian and Laird weighted method. Publication bias was assessed using the funnel plot and Begg's and Egger's tests. The pooled standardized mean difference for sexual function in hysterectomy versus non-hysterectomy group was .08 (CI95%: -.38 to .55; I2 = 96.8%; χ2 = 307.94, p-value <.001; τ2 = .59). Publication bias and small study effects were not detected. The results of the subgroup analysis showed that the possible sources of heterogeneity are the World Bank countries' classification and type of hysterectomy (in some studies the type of hysterectomy was not specified separately for the study groups, because of this, comparisons were made between Total and supracervical/total). Pooled SMD was affected by type of sexual function scale, World Bank countries' classification, type of hysterectomy, ovary status, and reproductive status. The results of meta-regression analysis also showed that for each month of distance from hysterectomy, women's sexual function score increases by .18. CONCLUSION The results of the present study showed that hysterectomy due to benign disease does not change the sexual function significantly. REGISTRATION OF SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO system with the code CRD42021228314.

A Systematic Review of Clinical Trials Assessing Sexuality in Hysterectomized Patients. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18083994. [PMID: 33920177 PMCID: PMC8069441 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18083994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2021] [Revised: 04/05/2021] [Accepted: 04/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
In hysterectomized patients, even though there is still controversy, evidence indicates that in the short term, the vaginal approach shows benefits over the laparoscopic approach, as it is less invasive, faster and less costly. However, the quality of sexual life has not been systematically reviewed in terms of the approach adopted. Through a systematic review, we analyzed (CRD42020158465 in PROSPERO) the impact of hysterectomy on sexual quality and whether there are differences according to the surgical procedure (abdominal or vaginal) for noncancer patients. MEDLINE (through PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.gov and Scopus were reviewed to find randomized clinical trials assessing sexuality in noncancer patients undergoing total hysterectomy, comparing vaginal and abdominal (laparoscopic and/or open) surgery. Three studies that assessed the issue under study were finally included. Two of these had a low risk of bias (Cochrane risk of bias tool); one was unclear. There was significant variability in how sexuality was measured, with no differences between the two approaches considered in the review. In conclusion, no evidence was found to support one procedure (abdominal or vaginal) over another for non-oncological hysterectomized patients regarding benefits in terms of sexuality.
