ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the frequency of sexual dysfunction in patients diagnosed
with intraepithelial lesion treated with cervical cone.
Materials and Methods: A longitudinal, observational, descriptive, and prospective
study included women with an active sexual life diagnosed by biopsy of high-grade
cervical intraepithelial lesion who underwent the cone technique with an electrosurgical
loop and a questionnaire to assess sexual function before and 12 weeks after the
procedure. The Female Sexual Function Index with a cut-off of 26.5 points or less was
used to determine whether the patient had sexual dysfunction.
Results: Thirty-one patients were examined with a mean age of 44 years (SD ± 9)
with cut-offs of 29 and 58 years. Ten patients were smokers, and the same number were
menopausal. Two with hypertension and three with diabetes. A statistically significant
(p = 0.046) higher frequency of sexual dysfunction was observed after the intervention.
The desire factor was lower before the intervention (p = 0.023). Desire and arousal
were lower after the intervention, but there was no statistically significant difference
(p = 0.077). There was no trend between the remaining factors.
Conclusions: Cervical cone with electrosurgical loop, as a treatment option for
patients with cervical high-grade intraepithelial lesion, is associated with a higher
percentage of sexual dysfunction three months after the procedure. The domains of
sexual function most affected were desire and arousal.
