    Effect of Reduction Mammaplasty on Sexual Activity
    (LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS) Sir, E; Üçer, O; Güngör, M; Aksoy, A; Keçeci, Y; Gümüs, B
    Aim This study aimed to evaluate the effects of reduction mammaplasty operation on sexual functions of the patients with macromastia and of their partners. Materials and Methods Thirty-nine patients with macromastia and their partners were assessed for their sexual function before and 6 months after reduction mammaplasty. Sexual function of the women and their partners were evaluated using the Index of Female Sexual Function (IFSF) and the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), respectively. Controls (n = 33) were chosen from healthy hospital staff and their partners. Preoperative and postoperative scores were statistically compared with the controls' scores by using Student t test. Also, preoperative and postoperative scores were compared by using paired t test. Results The mean of age and body mass index of the women and their partners in the patient and control group were similar (P = 0.07). Before the operation, the mean of IFSF scores in the patient and control group were 22.75 (3.45) and 27.28 (5.05), respectively (P < 0.001). After the operation, the mean of IFSF scores in the patient group increased significantly to 27.67 (P < 0.001). The postoperative scores of all IFSF subscales except lubrication subscale were higher than the preoperative scores. Although there was no significant difference between preoperative and postoperative IIEF-total scores, postoperative IIEF-erectile function and IIEF-intercourse satisfaction scores were significantly reduced (P < 0.05). Conclusions We found that macromastia adversely affected female sexual function but reduction mammaplasty eliminated this adverse effect. We also found that the partners' erectile function and intercourse satisfaction reduced after the operation. This reduction may be due to psychological effects.

    Assessment of sexual function in women with macromastia and their partners
    (ELSEVIER ESPANA SLU) Üçer, O; Sir, E; Güngör, M; Keçeci, Y; Aksoy, A; Gümüs, B
    Objective: To investigate the sexual function in patients with macromastia and their partners. Materials and methods: 48 patients with macromastia and 30 healthy controls and their partners were enrolled in the study. The sexual function of the women and their partners was evaluated by using the Index of Female Sexual Function (IFSF) and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), respectively. Results: Mean ages of the patients and controls were respectively, 33.27 +/- 5.24 and 32.06 +/- 3.91 (p > 0.05). Mean IFSF scores of the patients and controls were 23.21 +/- 3.16 and 27.33 +/- 4.94 (p = 0.00), respectively. All of the subscale scores of IFSF in the patient group were significantly lower than in the control group. Mean IIEF scores of the patients' and controls' partners were 60.33 +/- 11.46 and 65.25 +/- 6.18 (p = 0.04), respectively. Conclusion: In this study, Macromastia was shown to affect sexual function of women and their partners adversely. (C) 2014 Asociacion Espanola de Andrologia, Medicina Sexual y Reproductiva.

    Evaluation of sexual function in women with labia minora hypertrophy: A preliminary study
    (ELSEVIER DOYMA SL) Sir, E; Güngör, M; Üçer, O; Aksoy, A
    Objective: To compare the sexual functions in women with labia minora hypertrophy and age matched healthy controls. Material and method: 43 patients with labia minora hypertrophy and 30 age-matched healthy controls were enrolled in the present study. The sexual functions of the women were evaluated by using the index of female sexual function (IFSF). Results: Mean ages of the patients and controls were 30.06 +/- 7.11 and 31.34 +/- 4.12 (p = 0.41), respectively. Mean total IFSF scores of the patients and controls were 24.18 +/- 3.24 and 27.53 +/- 4.43 (p < 0.05), respectively. The subscale scores of IFSF-lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain in the patient group were significantly lower than in the control group (respectively, p < 0.001, p < 0.05, p < 0.001 and p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between IFSF-arousal scores of the patient and control groups (p = 0.30). The mean IFSF-desire scores of the patient group was higher than the controls (p < 0.001). Labia minora hypertrophy was significantly associated with female sexual dysfunction (odds ratio [OR] = 14.97, 95% confidence interval [Cl] = [3.66-61.21], p < 0.001). Conclusion: This study suggests that patients with labia minora hypertrophy have poorer lubrication, satisfaction, pain, and orgasm scores on the IFSF scale compared to age-matched healthy controls.
