“…По данным Artymuk N. et al (2018), частота сексуальной дисфункции у женщин репродуктивного возраста в Сибири достигает 55,9-69,4% [11,14,15]. В то же время авторы показали, что наиболее важным фактором риска этой проблемы являются беременности и роды, а использование через 6 недель после родов специальных устройств, в основе которых лежит механизм вибрации, значительно снижает симптомы сексуальной дисфункции [12].…”

Aim. Sexual function plays an important role in normal human life, along with sleep and food. As it is behind the main human motivations and can manifest itself in any phase of sexual activity or at any time of sexual life, the sexual function is considered as an important factor in determining the quality of life in adults. Here we aimed to estimate the influence of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on the sexual function of women.Materials and Methods. Our study enrolled 364 women (17-59 years of age) who admitted to the gynecological units of Kemerovo (Russia). A Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire was used to assess the clinical manifestations of sexual dysfunctions. The key FSFI indicators include desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, and satisfaction before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of sexual contacts, the age of the partner, the duration of the relationship and cohabitation, and the assumption to have sexual dysfunction.Results. The sample was divided into 6 age groups: < 17 years (n = 2), 18-29 years (n = 121), 30-39 years (n = 136), 40-49 years (n = 80), 50- 59 years (n = 25), and ≥ 60 years of age (n = 0). All examined parameters of sexual dysfunction have been impacted by the pandemic. In particular, we documented the reduced sexual arousal, lubrication, and satisfaction as well as increased pain during the sexual intercourse. Risk factors for the development of female sexual dysfunction were age of the sexual partner, the duration of the relationship, the frequency of sexual intercourse, and baseline psychological state.Conclusion. COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with the considerable impairment of the female sexual function.

Introduction. An outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) declared an emergency of international public health importance. More information is now available on how COVID-19 affects people, including children and adolescents. SARS-CoV-2 is a new virus, and so far, there is insufficient data on what endocrinopathies it can cause in children, and how it affects patients with a history of endocrine pathology. Aim. Review containing data from foreign studies on the effects of coronavirus infection on the development and progression of child and adolescent endocrinopathies. Materials and methods. An analysis of publications containing data from studies of COVID-19 cases in children was carried out. Results. Currently, foreign studies indicate the provoking effect of COVID-19 on the development and progression of endocrinopathies in children and adolescents. Conclusion. Future studies should include a comprehensive assessment of the endocrine system during the acute phase and recovery phase after undergoing COVID-19, as there is no long-term follow-up until the significant impact of this virus on the development of endocrinopathies in children can be ruled out.

Context: Since sexual function is significantly influenced by tension, fear, and melancholy, all of which are intensified throughout epidemics, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) globally can also affect individuals’ sexual function and life. The strong relationship between sexual dysfunction and quality of life disorders has made it an important public health concern. Objectives: The current study was conducted to assess female sexual function throughout the COVID-19 quarantine. Methods: ScienceDirect, Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases were searched with no language limitations. Two independent researchers reviewed all relevant articles published until November 30, 2021. Finally, 22 articles were included in the study, 13 of which were eligible for meta-analysis. The data were combined using meta-analysis and a random effect model. A Begg’s funnel plot and Egger’s test were used to check the potential bias of publication. Results: The mean score of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) was 23.34 (95% confidence interval: 21.17 - 25.52) using the random effect model. Out of the 6 studies that reported the FSFI scores before and throughout the COVID-19 crisis, 5 studies indicated a statistically significant drop in the mean scores of female sexual function throughout COVID-19, contrasting with before the epidemic. Most studies comparing the repetition of sexual activity before and through the COVID-19 epidemic reported a decrease in the repetition of sexual activity throughout the epidemic. Conclusions: Adverse psychological outcomes and restrictions caused by the COVID-19 crisis decreased female sexual function and the repetition of sexual activity. Health policymakers worldwide should scheme and execute helpful syllabi and interventions to reduce the adverse impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on the sexual health of individuals.
