Sexual Functions in Women with Bipolar Disorder and Their Healthy Spouses Bipolar Bozukluk Hastası Kadınlarda Ve Sağlıklı 68 Sexual functions in women with bipolar disorder and their healthy spouses _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Original article / Araştırma Sexual functions in women with bipolar disorder and their healthy spouses Ali Metehan ÇALIŞKAN,1 Duygu GÖKTAŞ,1 Mehmet ARSLAN,1 1 1 1 İkbal İNANLI, Saliha ÇALIŞIR, İbrahim EREN _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the sexual problem levels of female patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and their healthy spouses with those of healthy couples and to investigate potential factors that predict sexual problems. Methods: Sixty female outpatients with BD in remission and their healthy spouses were included in the study. All patients were under medication. Forty-five healthy couples comprised the control group. All participants were examined on a variety of clinical measures, including depression, marital adjustment, and sexual satisfaction. Results: Sexual satisfaction, communication and anorgasmia problems were higher for patients than for female controls. Sexual intercourse frequency, communication and total sexual problems were higher for patients’ spouses than for male controls. Logistic regression analyses for females revealed that sexual satisfaction was associated with age, depressive symptoms, and marital adjustment rather than presence of disorder. The sexual satisfaction was associated with marital adjustment rather than being spouse of a patient for males. Conclusions: After controlling for confounding factors, sexual problems of patients and their spouses are similar to those of controls. Treating the subsyndromal depressive symptoms of patients and using interventions to increase marital adjustment may improve the sexual functions of both patients and their spouses. (Anatolian Journal of Psychiatry 2019; 20(1):68-75) Keywords: bipolar disorder, sexual functions, sexuality, marital adjustment Bipolar bozukluk hastası kadınlarda ve sağlıklı eşlerinde cinsel işlevlerin değerlendirilmesi ÖZ Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, bipolar bozukluk (BB) hastası kadınların ve sağlıklı eşlerinin cinsel işlev sorunlarını sağlıklı kontrollerle karşılaştırmak ve cinsel sorunları etkileyen olası öngördürücüleri belirlemektir. Yöntem: Çalışmaya BB’li 60 kadın hasta ve sağlıklı eşleri alındı. Tüm hastalar psikiyatrik tedavi görüyordu. Kontrol grubu olarak 45 sağlıklı çift alındı. Tüm katılımcılar sosyodemografik veriler, depresif belirtiler, evlilik uyumları ve cinsel işlevleri açısından değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastalarda cinsel doyum, iletişim ve orgazm sorunları sıklığı kadın kontrollerden daha yüksek saptandı. Hasta eşlerinde cinsel ilişki sıklığı, iletişim ve toplam cinsel sorun sıklığı erkek kontrollerden daha yüksek saptandı. Kadınlar için yapılan lojistik regresyon analizinde, cinsel sorunların yaş, depre- sif belirtiler ve evlilik uyumu ile ilişkili olduğu; ancak BB’nin olması ile ilişkili olmadığı saptandı. Erkekler için yapılan analizde, cinsel sorunların evlilik uyumu ile ilişkili olduğu, hasta eşi olmakla ilişkili olmadığı saptandı. Sonuç: Karış- tırıcı etkenler kontrol edildikten sonra, BB’li hastaların ve eşlerinin cinsel sorun sıklığının kontrollere benzer olduğu görülmüştür. Hastaların subsendromal depresif belirtilerinin tedavi edilmesi ve evlilik uyumunu artırmaya yönelik girişimlerde bulunulması hem hastaların, hem de eşlerinin cinsel işlevlerinde iyileşme sağlayabilir.

  • Vaginismus: the Sexual Disorder You've Never Heard of It Affects 5 to 17 Percent of Women
    Vaginismus: The Sexual Disorder You've Never Heard Of It affects 5 to 17 percent of women. Chances are you've never heard of vaginismus (or, as it is now known, genitopelvic pain penetration disorder) before. Why? Because it's the disorder nobody wants to talk about, least of all those whom it most affects -- women. Quite amazing when you take into account it affects 5 to 17 percent of women (though even those statistics are tricky, considering how hush-hush the whole topic has become) and is the primary female cause of sexless (unconsummated) marriages. Not only is GPPPD rarely discussed among sufferers, but it appears to be largely neglected in the medical world, too. According to relationship counsellor and sex therapist, Alinda Small, the condition is "rarely taught in medical schools and residencies or discussed at medical conferences." So what is GPPPD and why is it shrouded in so much secrecy? What is vaginismus (GPPPD)? "Basically it's the involuntary contraction of muscles surrounding the entrance to the vagina," Small told The Huffington Post Australia. "What happens is the muscles lock up -- and they are incredibly strong -- and nothing can penetrate through. You can't get a finger, a tampon or a Q tip in, let alone a penis. "Women don't talk about it and they don't come forward for treatment." According to Small, there are two main types of GPPPD; primary and secondary. "Primary vaginismus is something you have had your entire life, where you have never been able to insert anything into the vagina," Small said.

  • Factors That Might Be Predictive of Completion of Vaginismus Treatment 2 Kadir ÖZDEL1, Ayşegül YILMAZ ÖZPOLAT2, Özge ÇERİ3, Hakan KUMBASAR4
    Turkish Journal of Psychiatry 2012 Factors That Might Be Predictive of Completion of Vaginismus Treatment 2 Kadir ÖZDEL1, Ayşegül YILMAZ ÖZPOLAT2, Özge ÇERİ3, Hakan KUMBASAR4 SUMMARY Objective: Vaginismus is defined as a recurrent or persistent involuntary spasm of the musculature of the outer third of the vagina that interferes with sexual intercourse. The aim of this study was to assess the level of symptoms of depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and perfection- ism among patients with vaginismus, as well as to determine if these clinical variables are related to the completion of treatment. Materials and Methods: The study included 20 women with vaginismus and their spouses that were referred as outpatients to Ankara University, School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry, Consultation and Liaison Unit. All couples underwent cognitive behavioral therapy, which was administered as 40-60-min weekly sessions. At the first (assessment) session, the female patients were assessed using a sociodemographic evaluation form, the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D), the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAM-A), the Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI), the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS), and the Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS). The male spouses were evaluated using the GRISS. The same scales were administered after the completion of treatment to those that completed the treatment. Results: The correlation between completion of treatment, and an elevated level of anxiety and self-oriented perfectionism was significant (P < 0.05). Among those that completed the study, depressive symptoms in the female patients improved (P < 0.05), and scale scores related to sexual function- ing in both the males and females improved significantly (P < 0.05).

    1 The Role of Anxiety in Vaginismus: A Case-Control Studyjsm_1365 1..6 Gayle Watts, BSc, and Daniel Nettle, PhD Newcastle University, Institute of Neuroscience, Newcastle, UK DOI: 10.1111/j.1743-6109.2009.01365.x ABSTRACT Introduction. Previous research suggests that anxiety may play a large role in the symptoms of vaginismus. Aim. We aimed to (i) determine the degree of self-reported general anxiety in women with vaginismus; and (ii) establish whether general anxiety is a consequence of the condition or a predisposing factor. Main Outcome Measures. Participants reported state and trait anxiety, five-factor personality scores, history of anxiety disorders, and their perceptions of their symptoms and history. Methods. We compared responses of 244 self-identified women with vaginismus with a control group of 101 women using an online questionnaire. Results. The women with vaginismus were higher in trait anxiety and neuroticism, and lower in extraversion, than the controls. There was also a trend toward a greater prevalence of diagnosed anxiety disorders in the vaginismus group. Levels of state anxiety were high among the women with vaginismus, particularly when they felt unsupported by their partners or pressured to cure the condition. Conclusion. Levels of general anxiety are elevated among women with vaginismus and the data suggest that anxiety-proneness may be a predisposing factor for the condition. We conclude that although vaginismus is a multidimensional condition, it may have common predisposing factors with anxiety disorders. Watts G, and Nettle D.
