[Changes in sexual behavior of women receiving substitution therapy after surgical menopause and women in physiological menopause].
We have made this study with the aim of comparing changes in sexuality between women who are in surgical menopause taking a substitutive therapy and those who are in physiological menopause. We have used a questionnaire instrument. It has been filled in by a physician during an individual conversation with the women. The results showed that sexuality valued through the parameters of satisfaction, coital frequency and desire, has been have penalized in the first group than in the second. It can be said that the trauma linked to hysterosalpingo-oophorectomy provokes alterations in sexuality which are not sufficiently counterbalanced by substitutive estrogenic therapy.
