“…The actual difference in TTO values between the groups is small and may not reflect an overall clinical significant difference but these analyses are group based and the individual differences should not be ignored when working with these patient groups. Our result is in line with previous studies on the same subject [ 13 , 22 , 23 ]. However, contradictory results have also been published, where long-time cancer survivors in the USA scored higher on well-being measures as self-reported health, utility and happiness [ 36 ].…”

“…Although cancer survivors had a strong desire for having children [15,18], they were worrying about the health of a future biological child [19,20] as well as their own health [21]. Additionally, several studies have confirmed a link between POI and quality of life (QoL) and depression [22,23]. The objective of this study was therefore to investigate QoL and health state (as defined by the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire) [24][25][26] among female CCS with and without POI and healthy controls (HC).…”

Purpose Due to an increase in survival, a growing population of childhood cancer survivors (CCS) is present. However, female CCS are at risk of developing premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) after cancer treatment. POI involves a decreased chance of conceiving and the increased infertility state has a large impact on affected individuals’ health and mental life. The objective of this study was to investigate health state and well-being among female CCS with and without POI and healthy controls (HC). Methods Female CCS treated in southern Sweden between 1964 and 2008 were included. Each patient was matched with a HC. The final study population included 167 female CCS and 164 HC that were examined between October 2010 and January 2015 at the Reproductive Medicine Centre at Skåne University Hospital in Malmö, Sweden. All participants, except for two HCs, answered an EQ-5D-3L questionnaire for measuring health state including a visual analogue scale (VAS) for estimating well-being. Results There were 22 CCS with POI, none of the HC had POI. The mean health state differed among groups (unadjusted: P = 0.002; adjusted: P = 0.007). A difference in mean experienced well-being among groups was noted (unadjusted: P = 0.003; adjusted: P = 0.012). Lowest well-being was found in the CCS group with POI (P = 0.024). Conclusions Female CCS have a significantly decreased health state and well-being. Female CCS with POI additionally have the lowest self-estimated well-being. Implications for Cancer Survivors Female CCS with POI should be identified early in order to give them adequate information and support.

“…Third, understanding the variations in sexual function across different conditions can inform more personalized approaches to treatment and support for affected women. Previous research has predominantly focused on the reproductive implications of PCOS and POI, with less emphasis on other critical areas like sexual satisfaction and function [9,10]. Studies that do address sexual function often fail to compare different types of ovarian dysfunction, thereby missing out on potential nuances in their impacts on sexual health.…”

Objective This study aims to evaluate and compare sexual function and psychological health among infertile patients with different ovarian dysfunctions, specifically polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), and women with normal ovarian function, to understand the extent of sexual dysfunction associated with these conditions. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional analysis involving 340 women, categorized into three groups: PCOS, POI, and normal ovarian function (Control). Sexual function was quantitatively assessed using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), which measures six dimensions of sexual function: desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to compare FSFI scores across the groups, followed by post-hoc tests to identify significant differences between each pair of groups. Results The mean FSFI scores were significantly lower in the POI and PCOS groups compared to the Control group (p < 0.05). Women with POI and PCOS exhibited higher incidences of anxiety and depression. Significant differences were observed in arousal ability, vaginal lubricity, and satisfaction scores among the groups, with the Control group generally scoring higher. The incidence of lubrication disorder was highest in the PCOS group (p < 0.05). Multivariable-adjusted analyses identified longer infertility duration and higher Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) scores as significant predictors of sexual dysfunction. Conclusion This study highlights the significant impact of reproductive health conditions such as POI and PCOS on sexual and psychological health. The findings underscore the need for integrated care approaches that address both physical and mental health aspects in women with these conditions. By enhancing our understanding of these relationships, we can improve the quality of life for women affected by POI and PCOS. Clinicians should consider both the physiological and psychological dimensions in their treatment plans to ensure comprehensive care that addresses the full spectrum of patient needs.
