Sexual dysfunction and distress in premenopausal women with migraine: association with depression, anxiety and migraine-related disability.
Migraine is a chronic disorder associated with impaired quality of life as well as sexual function. However, data about the sexual distress in women with migraine were lacked. This study aimed to determine the incidence and associated risk factors of both sexual function and distress in premenopausal women with migraine. ⋯ Sexual distress was noted in 37 cases, and depression, VAS and MIDAS scores were significantly higher in women with sexual distress. This study showed that women with migraine should be screened both for sexual dysfunction and distress to help clinicians dealing with sexual medicine to improve the standart of patient care in their regular practice. Special attention should be given to the ones whose MIDAS and VAS scores were high and who had depression.
