An Evaluation of Provoked Vulvodynia, Pelvic Floor Muscles and Sexual Functions in Female Patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Objective: The aim of our study is to investigate the genital origin of pain, particularly provoked vulvodynia (PVD) in female patients with Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), to reveal the relationship between PVD and pelvic floor muscle functions and to evaluate patients’ sexual functions.

description Objective: The aim of our study is to investigate the genital origin of pain, particularly provoked vulvodynia (PVD) in female patients with Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), to reveal the relationship between PVD and pelvic floor muscle functions and to evaluate patients’ sexual functions. Materials and Methods: Twenty four female patients who were diagnosed with FMS and who had not yet been treated, sexually active and 24 control cases were included to study. Severity of dyspareunia and dysmenorrhea was evaluated with a visual analogue scale, PVD was assessed using the cotton swab exam of vulva and sexual functions were evaluated with using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Additionally, pelvic floor muscles were graded using Brink scoring. Results: The severity means of menstrual term pain and dyspareunia severity were significantly higher in the patients than the control group (p=0.003, p=0.006). Significant differences were observed between the patient and control group in terms of vulvar pain in cotton swab exam and total Brink scores (both p
