Abstract

Amaç: Obezite cinsel işlev bozukluğu için bir risk faktörüdür. Bu çalışmanın amacı morbid obezite tanısı almış hastalarda cinsel işlev bozukluğu sıklığını saptamak amaçlanmıştır.

Yöntemler: Çalışmaya dahil edilen hasta grubu için BKI≥40 kg/m2 olan 78 morbid obez hasta birey ve normal BKI değerine sahip 68 sağlıklı birey oluşturmuştur. Veriler, katılımcılar tarafından doldurulan sosyodemografik bilgi formu, Beck kaygı ölçeği, Beck depresyon ölçeği ve Golombok Rust Cinsel Doyum Envanteri kullanılarak elde edilmiştir.

Bulgular: Obez bireylerin normal vücut BKI’sına sahip bireylere göre cinsel işlev bozukluğu yaşadığı saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Obez erkeklerin Golombok Rust alt ölçek puanları normal kilolu bireylerinkilerle karşılaştırıldığında, frekans, iletişim, memnuniyet, kaçınma, dokunma, iktidarsızlık ve erken boşalma gibi tüm alt ölçek puanlarında anlamlı bir bozulma bulundu. Ayrıca obez bireylerin anksiyete ve depresyon puanlarının normal kilolu bireylere göre daha yüksek olduğu gösterilmiştir (p<0.05).

Sonuç: Morbid obez bireyler cinsel işlevler açısından değerlendirilmelidir. Olası cinsel işlev bozukluğu tedavisi de dahil olmak üzere obezite tedavisinin düzenlenmesinin hastaların başarı oranını artıracağına ve hastaların yaşam kalitesini artıracağına inanıyoruz.

Evaluation Of Morbid Obese Patients In Terms Of Sexual Dysfunctions: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract

Aim: Obesity is a risk factor for sexual dysfunction. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of sexual dysfunction in patients diagnosed with morbid obesity.

Methods: The patient group included in the study consisted of 78 morbidly obese patients with BMI≥40 kg/m2 and 68 healthy individuals with normal BMI. The data were obtained by using the sociodemographic information form filled by the participants, Beck anxiety scale, Beck depression scale and Golombok Rust Sexual Satisfaction Inventory.

Results: Obese individuals were found to have sexual dysfunction compared to individuals with normal body BMI (p<0.05). When the Golombok Rust subscale scores of obese men were compared to those of normal-weight individuals, a significant deterioration was found in all subscale scores, including frequency, communication, satisfaction, avoidance, touch, impotence and premature ejaculation. In addition, the anxiety and depression scores of obese individuals were shown to be higher than those of normal-weight individuals (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Morbidly obese individuals should be evaluated in terms of sexual functions. We believe that regulating obesity treatment, including possible treatment for sexual dysfunction, will increase the success rate and enhance the quality of life for patients.
