    Evaluation and management of endometriosis.
    (2023-04-13) YOLDEMİR, AHMET TEVFİK; Yoldemir T.
    The initial diagnostic investigations for endometriosis are physical examination and pelvic ultrasound. The pelvic examination should include a speculum examination and vaginal palpation. Mobility, fixation and/or tenderness of the uterus and site-specific tenderness in the pelvis should be evaluated. Transvaginal ultrasound and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging are recommended to evaluate the extent of the endometriosis and to determine whether any urinary tract or bowel procedures might also be required during surgical resection. Quality of life should be assessed by using the Endometriosis Health Profile-30, its short version EHP-5 or the generic quality of life questionnaire SF- 36. Management of endometriosis is recommended when it has a functional impact (pain, infertility) or causes organ dysfunction. Many gynecological societies have published different guidelines for the evaluation and management of endometriosis. However, the complexity of this disease together with the different available treatments lead to significant discrepancies between the recommendations. Postmenopausal endometriosis should be considered when a patient has a history of symptoms before menopause including dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia, infertility and chronic pelvic pain. Malignant transformation of endometriosis is estimated to occur in about 0.7–1.6% of women affected by endometriosis. Endometriosis is associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer, specifically clear cell, endometrioid and low-grade serous types.

    The association between female sexual function and metabolic features of the polycystic ovary syndrome in Turkish women of reproductive age.
    (2024-12-01) YOLDEMİR, AHMET TEVFİK; Cevik Dogan M., Yoldemir T.
    Objective: To investigate the association between female sexual function and metabolic features among women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) during reproductive age. Method: This was a cross-sectional study in which 288 women with PCOS and 180 women without PCOS between the ages of 20 and 40 years were evaluated. All women had serum total testosterone, androstenedione, DHEA-S, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, and triglyceride levels analyzed. The McCoy Female Sexual Questionnaire (MFSQ) was applied to all studied women. Exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis were done after data collection. The factor loadings of MFSQ domains were compared between women with PCOS and controls. Results: Average factor loadings of the MFSQ sexuality domain and MFSQ sexual partner domain were significantly lower in the PCOS group when compared to controls. There was no correlation between the two sexual function domains of the MFSQ and the PCOS features either in the PCOS group or the controls. Conclusion: PCOS is a heterogeneous disease with different metabolic components, such as insulin resistance, obesity, and hyperandrogenism. Although sexual function among women with PCOS was lower than controls, no differences were found in metabolic features of the PCOS and non-PCOS groups with relation to sexual function determined by the MFSQ.
