[Sexual behavior in married women with chronic gynecologic inflammation]

Using an interview based on a uniform examination pattern comprising 70 items, the authors examined the sex life of 152 women aged 21-40 years, married for at least one year, treated at the time for chronic gynaecological inflammations in Frantiskovy Láznĕ. It was revealed that 55 probands (36.2%) did not report any marked changes in the course of sex life. 58 patients (38.2%) had unpleasant or painful sensations during coitus to which they responded in a rational way: by change or adjustment of the position, care taken by the partner, sometimes by discontinuation of coitus. The third sub-group was formed by 39 probands (25.6%) who were not satisfied with their sex life.
