Sexual dysfunction after a first trimester induced abortion in a Chinese population
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectiveTo evaluate the short-term effect of a first trimester induced abortion on sexuality in a Chinese population.Study designThis is a cross-sectional study. One hundred and four women attending the post-abortion clinic 3–4 months after a first trimester induced abortion were recruited. They completed a self-administered questionnaire anonymously. The associations of various factors with sexual behavior after abortion were analyzed by the Chi-square test.ResultsMore than 30% of the women reported a reduction in both frequency of vaginal intercourse and sexual desire. Their partners also had a reduction in sexual desire. The reduction of vaginal intercourse is more significant among young, unmarried women and those not having sterilization (P = 0.01). In addition, the prevalence of reduction in sexual desire and enjoyment among those women who had repeated abortion was significantly higher (P < 0.01).ConclusionThe sexuality of both women and their partners are affected after abortion. It may be due to both psychological trauma and the worry of another unwanted pregnancy. Proper counseling may relieve their anxiety and improve sexual lives.
