Sexual Functioning in Women with Chronic Pelvic Pain: The Role of Anxiety and Depression
The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 08/18/09

ter Kuile MM et al. – Women with CPP reported higher levels of vaginistic complaints, sexual avoidance, nonsensuality and sexual dissatisfaction than healthy controls. Sexual problems were associated with anxiety, depression, and sexual abuse history but not with somatic factors as pain and physical impairment. Anxiety as well as depression, irrespective of the report of sexual abuse experiences, mediated the effect of CPP on sexual problems. Sexual abuse was a general predictor of sexual problems in both women with CPP and controls. Anxiety and depression constitute important factors in the evaluation of sexual problems in women with CPP.
