Abstract: Normal sexual function is a bio-psycho-social process which is significantly related to the quality of life (QOL). Any disturbance in one of the components can be a disaster in sexual life.  Erectile dysfunction is a disability to get an erection or to maintain the erection well enough for a sexual intercourse, which persists or recurs at least three months conse-cutively due to either psychogenic or organic disturbances, or both. Some psychogenic dis-turbances especially depression, anxiety, and relational distress, play some important roles in ED. Besides that, aging, low testoteron level, physical diseases, and some certain medicines have to be included. Key words: erection, erectile dysfunction, sexual stimulus, depression.     Abstract: Fungsi seksual yang normal merupakan suatu proses biopsikososial yang berkaitan langsung dengan kualitas hidup. Adanya gangguan pada salah satu komponen dapat menjadi malapetaka bagi kehidupan seksual. Disfungsi ereksi dapat dedefinisikan sebagai suatu keti-dakmampuan untuk ereksi atau mempertahankan ereksi yang cukup untuk melakukan hu-bungan seksual yang memuaskan, yang menetap atau berulang paling tidak selama tiga bulan berturut-turut. Gangguan psikogenik khususnya sindroma depresi, ankietas, dan distres relasional berperan penting dalam hal terjadinya disfungsi ereksi. Disamping itu usia lanjut, rendahnya kadar testoteron, penyakit fisik, dan beberapa jenis obat perlu diperhitungkan. Kata kunci: fisiologi ereksi, disfungsi ereksi, stimulus seksual, depresi.

AbstractMost people with epilepsy maintain normal reproductive and sexual lives. However, a significant minority of women with epilepsy (20% to 30%) have some degree of sexual dysfunction, including problems with libido, arousal, and orgasm. Men with epilepsy are at risk for decreased sexual functioning, including sexual interest and sexual performance, at least in part because of increased sex hormone-binding globulin levels and lower bioactive testosterone levels, particularly in association with the use of enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs, such as phenytoin and carbamazepine. A decrease in bioactive testosterone levels probably has a significant effect on the sexuality of women with epilepsy as well. Antiepileptic drugs may also affect sexual function in women through alterations of serotonergic neurotransmission. Epilepsy itself appears to have the potential to affect sexual function. The amygdala is emerging as a brain structure with significant involvement in sexuality in patients with epilepsy, as shown by alterations in sexual functioning after temporal lobectomy. Preliminary evidence suggests that people with temporal lobe epilepsy have reduced genital blood flow in response to erotic stimulation; the etiology of this phenomenon is not well understood, but disruption of the limbic and frontal cortex by epileptic activity may be implicated. Psychosocial factors, including sexual anxiety and stigma associated with epilepsy, can also affect the sexual life of patients with epilepsy.

Abstract Background: Breast cancer is the second cause of death due to cancers and it is the most common cancer in women, which threatens different aspects of individual and mental health, quality of life, sexual function and sexual satisfaction, because of such treatments as mastectomy. Consultation can help patients to and a reasonable solution for their problems. Considering the effect of consultation on quality and quantity of patients’ life and the importance of the role of midwife in sexual health consultation, this research is carried out in order to determine the effect of group consultation based on problem-solving solution on sexual function and satisfaction of women who have had mastectomy surgery. Method: The present research is a semi-empirical study, with pretest, post-test and one month follow-up period. 32 women who referred to Tehran Breast Cancer Institute were selected by convenience sampling.The group received 8 sessions (90-minute) of problem-solving solution conselling. The data collection tool was Female Sexual function Index and Larson sexual satisfaction questionnaires and filled before intervention, immediately after intervention and one month after it.Data analysis was performed by using SPPSS21 statistical software application at the certainty level of 95% (P≤0.05).Results: The results of the study showed that there is a meaningful difference between the average sexual function (18.37, 20.88, 22.95) and the sexual satisfaction (65.27, 68.08, 70.46) in three stages before the intervention, immediately after the intervention and one month after the intervention. Conclusions: Although the average score of women’s sexual performance and the average score of sexual function of women who had mastectomy operation have improved, and this change was significant, but we have to note that the sexual function and sexual satisfaction are still in an inappropriate situation which require the continued trend of counseling in these patients. Considering the fact that the outbreak of breast cancer is very high, counseling can transfer to patients the information that is necessary for creating a desirable sexual life. In addition, through counseling process, we can teach patients how to live with their disease.

Aims: Improving sexual function in women with disability such as multiple sclerosis was aimed. Background: Sexual dysfunction and the consequent low satisfaction is very common in females with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Relationship Enhancement Therapy (REP) on sexual function and satisfaction of females with MS. Methods: the present study was an educational design with two groups, in which 44 females with MS participated and their spouses (N= 88) participated and randomly divided in two groups of intervention (N= 22 couples) and control (N= 22 couples). They signed written consent forms and were included in the project. The intervention group received the REP in six 90-minute sessions. The groups completed standard questionnaires of sexual dysfunction and sexual satisfaction in three stages of pretest-posttest and 3 months later. The Descriptive and inferential statistics (Two- way repeated measures ANOVA, chi-square, t-test and Mann-Whitney U test) were used to analyze data. Results: The results of analysis showed that there was a clinically significant difference between the scores of sexual dysfunction in different phases of the assessment between two groups (p <0.05). Also sexual satisfaction was higher in the intervention group vs. in the control (p <0.05). Conclusion: according to the findings, marital enrichment program was effective in improvement of sexual function and sexual satisfaction of females with multiple sclerosis. It is recommended to healthcare providers to use enrichment alongside medical services to improve patients' sexual life.

Aim. Sexual function plays an important role in normal human life, along with sleep and food. As it is behind the main human motivations and can manifest itself in any phase of sexual activity or at any time of sexual life, the sexual function is considered as an important factor in determining the quality of life in adults. Here we aimed to estimate the influence of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on the sexual function of women.Materials and Methods. Our study enrolled 364 women (17-59 years of age) who admitted to the gynecological units of Kemerovo (Russia). A Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire was used to assess the clinical manifestations of sexual dysfunctions. The key FSFI indicators include desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, and satisfaction before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of sexual contacts, the age of the partner, the duration of the relationship and cohabitation, and the assumption to have sexual dysfunction.Results. The sample was divided into 6 age groups: < 17 years (n = 2), 18-29 years (n = 121), 30-39 years (n = 136), 40-49 years (n = 80), 50- 59 years (n = 25), and ≥ 60 years of age (n = 0). All examined parameters of sexual dysfunction have been impacted by the pandemic. In particular, we documented the reduced sexual arousal, lubrication, and satisfaction as well as increased pain during the sexual intercourse. Risk factors for the development of female sexual dysfunction were age of the sexual partner, the duration of the relationship, the frequency of sexual intercourse, and baseline psychological state.Conclusion. COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with the considerable impairment of the female sexual function.

Peyronie's Disease

Background: Peyronie’s disease (PD) is a progressive disorder of the connective tissue of the tunica albuginea of the penis that produces an abnormal curvature, painful erections and different degrees of erectile dysfunction (ED). The aim of this study is to evaluate our initial experience in the surgical treatment of PD using an autologous graft of testicular vaginal tunica. Materials and methods: A retrospective study of 23 patients was carried out between 2015 and 2019. The successful surgical stretching rate was defined as a functional 20 degrees of curvature or less. Postoperative sexual function and complications rate were evaluated as secondary objectives. We used the abbreviated IIEF-5 questionnaire and evaluated the sexual function before and after the surgical procedure. Wilcoxon signed-rank test for paired samples (U test) was used, considering a value of p<0.05 to be statistically significant. Results: Only one patient presented a recurrence of the penile curvature, resulting in a 95.6% success rate of functional stretching. We observed a 1.6 and 0.9 difference between pre- and postoperative total score and satisfaction ( p = 0.002 and p = 0.003 respectively) Conclusion: In this series, the use of testicular vaginal tunic was found to be safe and effective with a significant change in the quality of sexual life, especially reflected in the overall satisfaction after the procedure and a low rate of complications. Level of evidence: Not applicable for this multicentre audit.
