“…Consistent with the literature ( Ghizzani et al, 2014 ; Granero-Molina et al, 2023 ), high levels were also found in FM and CO (which also includes comorbidities of FM and VU conditions). The percentage of pain in the CH group is comparable to that found by Gordon et al (2014) (39 % vs 44 %), while that presented by the control group is similar to that reported by an earlier Italian study on the general population ( Nimbi et al, 2020 ), that still remains high and worthy of attention. Regarding sexuality, as well explained by Basson's circular sexual response model ( Basson, 2000 ), when pain becomes intertwined with the sexual response, it can detrimentally impact not only the entire sexual experience, but also psychological, relational, and social aspects.…”

“…Our hypotheses were that each group would show a similar situation of impairment concerning sexual experience, with peculiarities. For example, we expect to find higher levels of genito-pelvic pain and impairment of sexual functioning in VU, FM and CO groups in line with the literature ( Casale et al, 2021 ; Chisari et al, 2021 ; Collado-Mateo et al, 2020 ; Nimbi et al, 2020 ; Ricoy-Cano et al, 2022 ), significantly different from CH and HC ( Gordon et al, 2014 ; Nappi et al, 2012 ; Nimbi et al, 2020 ).…”

“…These conditions included chronic pelvic pain, chronic low back pain, chronic headache, or fibromyalgia. Multiple studies have demonstrated that patients with other chronic pain conditions are more likely to develop chronic pelvic pain in general (8-11). The timing of the development of pain and the strength of the association suggests that those with chronic pain syndromes may be predisposed to the development of pain after hysteroscopic sterilization with Essure™.…”

Objective To investigate the incidence and pre-operative risk factors for developing pelvic pain after hysteroscopic sterilization using the Essure™ micro-inserts Design Retrospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). Setting University Medical Center Patients A total of 458 patients who underwent hysteroscopic sterilization with Essure™ between January 1, 2005 and June 30, 2012. Results The incidence of acute pelvic pain after hysteroscopic sterilization was 8.1%, and the incidence of persistent pain after 3 months post-procedure was 4.2%. The range of presentation with pain was 1 to 469 days, with a mean time of 56 days. Of the patients that developed chronic pelvic pain after the procedure, 75% presented within 130 days of the procedure. Patients with previous diagnoses of any chronic pain (chronic pelvic pain, chronic low back pain, chronic headache, and fibromyalgia) were more likely to report both acute pain (OR 6.81, 95% CI 2.95,15.73) and chronic pain (OR 6.15, 95% CI 2.10,18.10) after hysteroscopic sterilization. Conclusions Pelvic pain may develop after hysteroscopic sterilization. Patients with preexisting chronic pain diagnoses may be at increased risk of developing pelvic pain after the procedure. Fifty percent of new pelvic pain after Essure™ placement will resolve by 3 months.

Abstract Objective: Vaginismus is one of the most common problems among patients who apply to the sexual health outpatient clinic. It is known that sexual problems are more common in migraine and tension-type headache patients. Furthermore, the frequency of depression and anxiety is higher in both vaginismus and chronic headache patients. This study was conducted in 2021 and examined the headache characteristics, depression and anxiety in vaginismus patients. Material and methods: In this prospective study, 87 patients diagnosed with vaginismus in the sexual health outpatient clinic were interviewed. Fifty patients who agreed to participate in the study were questioned regarding headache, and Beck depression and Beck anxiety scales were applied. Results: Headache was present in 46% (n:23) of 50 vaginismus patients. Anxiety scores of patients with headaches were higher than those without headaches (p=0.032). The most common type of headache was migraine without aura (60.9%), followed by tension-type headache (30.4%). Beck depression scores of the low-income group were higher than the high-income group (p=0.006). There was no significant correlation between monthly headache frequency, total headache duration, Beck depression score, and Beck anxiety score. Conclusions: Headache is a common neurological symptom in vaginismus patients, and the frequency of migraine is higher than tension-type headaches. Anxiety values are higher in vaginismus patients experiencing a headache. Therefore, headache and anxiety should be considered in the follow-up and treatment of vaginismus patients.
