Assessment of Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) Scores at 1 Month After Endometrial Sampling Performed Under Sedo-Analgesia or Local Anesthesia

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Female Sexual Dysfunction, Endometrial Sampling, Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Abnormal Uterine Bleeding, Unspecified

In brief

Endometrial sampling is a commonly performed gynecological procedure used for the diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding and endometrial abnormalities. Different anesthetic techniques may be used during the procedure, including sedo-analgesia and local anesthesia. The purpose of this prospective observational study is to evaluate whether the anesthetic technique used during endometrial sampling affects female sexual function one month after the procedure. Female sexual function will be assessed using the validated Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire. A total of 210 women undergoing endometrial sampling at Prof. Dr. Cemil Taşcıoğlu City Hospital will be enrolled. Participants will be assigned to groups according to the anesthetic technique used during their routine clinical care. FSFI scores obtained at the one-month follow-up visit will be compared between women who underwent the procedure under sedo-analgesia and those who received local anesthesia. Secondary analyses will include comparison of FSFI scores according to symptom status and histopathological diagnosis. The findings of this study may contribute to a better understanding of the impact of anesthetic techniques on postoperative sexual health and quality of life in women undergoing gynecological procedures.
