This systematic review evaluated sexual function in patients with endometriosis and examined the role of risk factors. The authors searched PubMed in March 2014 using descriptors related to endometriosis and sexual function, yielding 152 articles and selecting 20 studies based on predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria. Thirteen of the included studies investigated how treatment affects female sexual dysfunction, while anxiety and depression were each evaluated in only three studies, and overall endometriosis patients showed impaired sexual function with potential impacts on quality of life. The paper’s limitation, as reflected by the small number of studies addressing specific psychosocial factors, is that evidence for these risk factors was limited across the included literature. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it is a systematic review focused on sexual dysfunction and associated risk factors in women with endometriosis.

Abstract

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a função sexual das pacientes com endometriose, bem como a participação de fatores de risco. Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica no PubMed, em março de 2014, empregando os seguintes descritores: quality of sex life and endometriosis, sexual life and endometriosis, female sexual dysfunction and endometriosis e sexual functioning and endometriosis. Foram encontrados 152 artigos e de acordo com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão previamente estabelecidos, 20 foram selecionados. Treze estudos investigaram a contribuição do tratamento na disfunção sexual feminina. Ansiedade e depressão são fatores que também influenciam a função sexual, mas foram investigadas em apenas três estudos. As pacientes com endometriose exibem comprometimento da função sexual e, portanto, a investigação sobre sua vida sexual deve ser averiguada, tendo em vista os prejuízos causados pela disfunção na qualidade de vida das mulheres.
