Comparing Self-Reported Pain During Intercourse and Pain During a Standardized Gynecological Exam at 12- and 24-Month Postpartum
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
BACKGROUND: There is limited information about the physical indicators and biopsychosocial predictors of self-reported pain during intercourse and pain during a gynecological examination at 12- and 24-month following childbirth. AIM: This longitudinal study aimed to (i) Compare the findings from gynecological exams at 12- and 24-month postpartum for women with minimal vs clinically significant pain during intercourse; (ii) Assess the biomedical and psychosocial correlates of self-reported pain during intercourse and the vestibular pain index (VPI) from the cotton-swab test at 12- and 24-month postpartum; (iii) Establish the relationship between self-reported pain during intercourse and the cotton-swab test. METHODS: Women (N = 97 at 12 months postpartum and N = 44 at 24-month postpartum) recruited from a local women's hospital completed online surveys in their first trimester of pregnancy and at 12- and 24-month postpartum to assess pain during intercourse and biopsychosocial variables. Those with clinically significant (pain ≥4/10 on a visual analogue scale) were matched with those reporting minimal pain (pain <3/10) and underwent a gynecological exam including a cotton-swab test. Descriptive analyses, multiple regressions, and bivariate correlations were conducted to address each of the study aims, respectively. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: (i) Findings from the gynecological examination (ii) Numerical rating scale for the VPI; (iii) Visual analogue scale of pain during intercourse. RESULTS: The majority of women in both pain groups had normal physical findings in the gynecological exam. Greater sexual distress and pain catastrophizing at 12- and 24-month postpartum were significantly associated with greater pain during intercourse at each time-point, respectively. Greater pain catastrophizing at 12 months postpartum was significantly associated with greater pain during the cotton-swab test at that time-point. Lower relationship satisfaction at 12 months postpartum was associated with greater VPI ratings at 24 months postpartum. Pain during intercourse and the VPI were moderately and positively correlated. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Addressing psychosocial variables may interrupt the maintenance of postpartum pain. Following an initial assessment, self-reported pain intensity may be a suitable proxy for repeated examinations. STRENGTHS & LIMITATIONS: This study is the first to describe the physical findings and psychosocial predictors of pain during intercourse and the VPI at 12- and 24-month postpartum. The homogenous and small sample may limit generalizability. CONCLUSION: There were no observable physical indicators of clinically significant postpartum pain during intercourse. Psychosocial variables were linked to women's greater postpartum pain during intercourse and VPI ratings. Rossi MA, Vermeir E, Brooks M, et al.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
