Özet
Objectives. To evaluate the possible relationship between the sexual and psychiatric status of premenopausal female patients with fibromyalgia compared with healthy controls. Methods. A total of 48 female patients with fibromyalgia and 38 age-matched healthy controls were enrolled in the study. All the subjects were asked to complete the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) for sexual status and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) for psychiatric assessment. Serum biochemical analysis was done, and the serum hormonal levels were analyzed. Results. The mean BDI score for patients was significantly greater than the score for the controls (P 0.017) and the mean FSFI score was significantly lower than the score for the controls (P = 0.001). According to the FSFI data, female sexual dysfunction was found in 26 patients (54.2%) with fibromyalgia and only 6 controls (15.8%), a significant difference (Pearson chi-square = 14.46, P = 0.000). When the subscores of each domain of FSFI were evaluated, the most common sexual problem was diminished desire in patients (n = 30, 62.5%) and controls (n = 11, 28.9%). In the correlation analysis, the FSFI score showed a significant negative correlation with the BDI (r = -0.337, P = 0.002) and STAI (r = -0.413, P = 0.004) scores. No significant correlation was revealed between the FSFI and BDI or FSFI and STAI scores in the controls. Conclusions. Depression is one of the emotional disorders commonly encountered in women with fibromyalgia, most possibly leading to sexual dysfunction. Thus, sexual dysfunction related to impaired psychiatric status should be considered a common problem in premenopausal women with fibromyalgia.
