Évaluation de la qualité de vie sexuelle après une arthroplastie totale bilatérale de la hanche - 02/02/22
Evaluation of sexual quality of life after bilateral total hip arthroplasty surgery
, Alime Buyuk bAbstract |
Background |
Patients experience limitation of hip joint movement due to coxarthrosis, such limitation may affect the quality of sexual activity in patients. We aimed at investigating the postoperative quality of sexual life and evaluating the clinical satisfaction of patients who underwent bilateral total hip arthroplasty.
Hypothesis |
Postoperative sexual life quality improvement in patients undergoing bilateral total hip arthroplasty increases clinical satisfaction.
Methods |
The study included patients who underwent staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty surgery between June 2016 and January 2019. Each patient was evaluated using the sexual quality of life-female (SQOL-F) or Sexual quality of life-male (SQOL-M) questionnaire containing similar questions for both genders regarding sexual satisfaction.
Results |
Among all the individuals, 32 were sexually active (13 females, 19 males), and seven were not sexually active (6 females, 1 male) before the surgery. Among the 29 individuals (18 females, 11 males) who thought that their sexual life was negatively affected even before the surgery, 10 (1 female, 9 males) were found not to be negatively affected. Moreover, the sexual life of 18 females was negatively affected 27.93±14.5months (range: 12–43) before hip arthroplasty and 11 males was negatively affected 19.5±11.0months (range: 8–31) before the surgery as well. Twenty (10 females, 10 males) individuals stated an improvement in their sexual life, 13 (6 females, 7 males) individuals stated no change. Unfortunately, 6 (3 females, 3 males) individuals stated a degradation of their sexual activity after hip arthroplasty. Patients gained more than 60 degrees of hip range of motion and experienced significant reduction in pain after hip joint movements after surgery.
Discussion |
In our study, we evaluated sexual limitations before and after total hip arthroplasty surgery and postoperative sexual quality of life. Due to the increased range of motion of patients after surgery, the proportion of sexually active individuals increased and the sexual quality of life reached a satisfactory level.
Level of evidence |
III; retrospective cohort study.
