Résumé |
Objective |
Our study evaluates the sexual function after Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy(VIP) and the type of contraception formerly used.
Methods |
The sample includes 2036 women, 1905 of which had a VIP during the first trimester of pregnancy and 131 during the second. 30 days after VIP, they were asked to fill in a self-administered questionnaire on their sexual life (FSFI) anonymously. The mean age was 29.4 (SD± 6.9); 76% of women were married or cohabitant, 24% single. 65% had one child at least, 29% had a job and 61% were housewives.
Results |
Coitus interruptus was the most widespread method (45%), then pill (0.5%), IUD (0.5%), condom (5%), natural planning (2%), while 47% didn’t use any method. 25% had already experienced a VIP. FSFI shows 52.7 ( SD± 11.8) as the mean score for the first group (only in 2% of cases is 24.7); the score is 34.7 (SD± 29.3) for the second group.
Discussion |
The first group shows a return to a normal sexual life, even if there were some sexual disfunctions in 2% of cases. The second group almost refuses sexuality, maybe for psychological reasons.
