Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of colporrhaphy on sexual problems of women with pelvic organ prolapseis. METHODOLOGY:Sixty patients with pelvic organ prolapse (cystocele - rectocele) in a quasi-experimental study before and after treatment were included. Presence of pelvic organ prolapseis was assessed by examination in the lithotomy position. Degree of prolapse was determined according to Pelvic organ Prolapse Quantification (POPQ). Their degree of prolapse was marked from 1 to 3 then was colporrhaphy performed. Follow up of patients for sexual satisfaction was performed three and six months after surgery by telephone and interviews. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 15, the McNamara test, T-test, absolute and relative frequency, mean and standard deviation. RESULTS:In sixty (60) women who were studied the mean and standard deviation of pregnancy and delivery rate were 4.4 ±2.2 and 4±2.1 respectively. About 65% of patients were over 35 years of age, 88.3% of women had the history of vaginal delivery and 10% of them had both the history of vaginal delivery and cesarean section. Score of sexual desire abstaining from sex and orgasm due to vaginal bulge before, 3 months and 6 months after colporrhaphy was significant (p=0.0001), but of sexual arousal scores there was no differences between each other. Mean of sexual satisfaction before operation was 30.75±5.70 and three months after operation it was 33.77±4.24 and six months after operation 36.03±3.5 which according to T-Test there was significant (p=0.0001). CONCLUSION:Sexual desire, orgasm and sexual satisfaction increased after colporrhaphy, frequency of intercourse and sexual arousal remains unchanged. It appears that colporrhaphy reduce symptoms associated with prolapse which is leading to sexual dissatisfaction and improved sexual satisfaction.
