Sexual Dysfunction in Hypertensive Women

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hypertension

In brief

Several studies describe the existence of an association between sexual dysfunction and high blood pressure (hypertension), most often characterized by a decrease in the number of orgasms and the existence of dyspareunia. Hypertension is a contributing factor, and nonadherence to medication could amplify it. There are several ways to assess adherence to treatment: the use of declarative questionnaires, a method not without criticism because it is subject to the subjectivity of the declaration by the patient; and drug dosages, a standard technique, although insufficiently disseminated due to the high cost and greater weight of the survey protocols. Drug non-compliance is multifactorial. In addition, it has been shown that having undesirable drug effects and / or being afraid of developing them is one of the major causes of non-compliance with antihypertensive treatments. The investigators hypothesize that DS is significantly more common among hypertensive women treated with non-observers compared to hypertensive women treated with observers. The main objective is to compare the prevalence of sexual dysfunction between a group of hypertensive women treated as observers and a group of hypertensive women treated as non-observers.
