Abstract

Background: Anogenital distance (AGD) is affected by intrauterine biochemical exposure. AGD appears to be associated with intrauterine testosterone level. It was aimed to explain the relationship between AGD and women's sexual quality of life.

Methods: A total of 600 participants were included in the study, 200 of whom did not give birth, 200 who had a normal vaginal delivery, and 200 who had a cesarean section. Hormone levels on the third day of their period, age, and BMI were recorded. AGD measurements were made and compared with the Female Sexual Function Scale (FSFI) and The Sexual Quality of Life-Female (SQOL-F) scores.

Results: AGD and serum testosterone level appear to be unrelated. SQOL-F scores were statistically significantly correlated with AGD-AC and AGD-AF in all women (r=0.66 and r=0.84, respectively); FSFI scores were statistically significantly correlated with AGD-AC and AGD-AF in all women (r=0.66 and r=0.85, respectively) regardless of birth status.

Conclusions: Female sexual life is associated with AGD determined in the womb. However, further studies are needed to confirm our results.

肛门生殖器距离与女性性生活的关系。

背景:肛门生殖器距离(AGD)受宫内生化暴露的影响。AGD似乎与宫内睾酮水平有关。该研究旨在解释AGD与女性性生活质量之间的关系。方法:总共600名参与者被纳入研究，其中200名没有分娩，200名正常阴道分娩，200名剖宫产。记录她们经期第三天的激素水平、年龄和身体质量指数。进行AGD测量，并与女性性功能量表(FSFI)和女性生活质量(SQOL-F)评分进行比较。结果:AGD与血清睾酮水平无相关性。所有女性的SQOL-F评分与AGD-AC、AGD-AF的相关性均有统计学意义(r分别为0.66、0.84);无论出生状况如何，所有女性FSFI评分与AGD-AC和AGD-AF均有统计学显著相关(r=0.66和r=0.85)。结论:女性性生活与子宫内确定的AGD有关。然而，需要进一步的研究来证实我们的结果。
