| Abstract
|
:
|
to examine frequency and distribution of SD dimensions and to determine whether SD is related to various clinical and demographic variables in female patients. total of 271 MS women (age: 19-50 years) participated in this cross-sectional study. We used a structured demographic and clinical interview and Multiple Sclerosis Intimacy and Sexuality Questionnaire-19 (MSISQ-19). Disability was rated by Expanded Disability Status Score (EDSS). 63.5 percent (n = 173) of women had SD included 142 ( 52.4 percent ) women with primary SD, 102 ( 37.5 percent ) women with secondary SD and 120 (41 percent ) women with tertiary SD. The most common SD- related complaint was orgasmic problem (41.2 percent ). Women with primary SD were significantly older and had higher EDSS score. No significant relationship was found between primary SD and disease duration. Fatigue (OR = 2.69, 95 percent CI: 1.352- 5.385, P = 0.005), memory and concentration complaints (OR = 1.915, 95 percent CI: 1.034-3.546, P = 0.039) and some of urinary symptoms such as frequency (OR = 2.108, 95 percent CI: 1.015-4.375, P = 0.045) were seem to be the significant predictors. Fatigue was also found to be the most powerful predicting factor for tertiary SD (OR = 2.793, 95 percent CI: 1.358-5.744 P = 0.005). SD, a common multifactorial problem among MS women, can arise at any time during the disease and with any level of disability. However, we found relationships between SD and some of clinical variables and symptoms. Understanding these relationships would help us to develop practical approach and treatment for SD.
