Objetivo: correlacionar el uso de anticonceptivos hormonales con la función sexual femenina (FSF) en un grupo de estudiantes universitarias en edad reproductiva de República Dominicana.
Métodos: un total de 251 estudiantes de entre 18 y 30 años completaron una encuesta en línea para evaluar su FSF con la prueba del Índice de Función Sexual Femenina (FSFI), así como su relación con su método anticonceptivo (MAC). Los resultados se analizaron mediante estadística descriptiva y pruebas estándar no paramétricas.
Resultados: los grupos en este estudio fueron: nunca usó AHC (NACH) n=80 (31,9 %), usa AHC (UACH) n=132 (52,6 %) y abandonó ACH (AACH) n=39 (15,5 %). La nota media del IFSF para todos los grupos fue 28,84 (2,0-36,0). UACH fue el grado más bajo (28,15) en comparación con NACH (29,84) y AACH (29,23) (p = 0,023). UACH tuvo la mayor cantidad de participantes en riesgo de disfunción sexual femenina (DSF). El nivel más alto de satisfacción general con su MAC fue en el grupo UACH (90,2 % informó estar satisfecho/muy satisfecho).
Conclusión: existe una correlación débil entre el uso de ACH y el aumento del riesgo de DSF con significación estadística (Rho=0,132; p=0,037). Los niveles de FSF en UACH fueron más bajos que en el grupo NACH. A pesar de tener el mayor nivel de satisfacción con su MAC, UACH reportó el mayor nivel de alteración de FSF. La alteración de la FSF por el uso de ACH fue un fuerte factor de abandono en esta muestra (65 %).
Objective. Identify if hormonal contraception (HC) has a negative impact on female sexual function (FSF) in a group of university students of reproductive age in the Dominican Republic. Methods: A total of 251 female students between ages 18-30 completed an online survey to evaluate their FSF with the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), as well as their relationship with their contraceptive method (CM). Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and standard non-parametric tests. Results: The groups in this study were: never used HC (NHC) n=80 (31.9%), uses HC (UHC) n=132 (52.6%), and abandoned HC (AHC) n=39 (15.5%). The mean grade for the FSFI for all groups was 28.84 (2.0-36.0). UHC was the lowest grade (28.15) when compared to NHC (29.84) and AHC (29.23) (p=0.023). UHC had the most participants at risk of female sexual dysfunction (FSD). The highest level of general satisfaction with their CM was in the UHC group (90.2% reported to be satisfied/very satisfied). Conclusion: There is a weak correlation between HC use and the increased risk of FSD with statistical significance (Rho=0.132; p=0.037). FSF levels in UHC were lower than in the NHC group. Despite having the greatest level of satisfaction with their CM, UHC reported the highest level of FSF disturbance. The disturbance of FSF due to HC use was a strong predictor of abandonment (65%).
