Evaluation of One-Month Female Sexual Function Index Scores in Women Undergoing Endometrial Sampling Under Sedo-Analgesia Versus Local Anesthesia

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating whether the anesthetic method used during endometrial sampling affects female sexual function one month after the procedure. This observational study focuses on women aged 18 to 60 undergoing this common gynecological procedure, which helps diagnose abnormal uterine bleeding and endometrial issues. The study aims to compare two anesthetic techniques, sedo-analgesia and local anesthesia, and their effects on postoperative sexual health using a validated questionnaire called the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Participants will be divided into two groups based on the anesthetic technique used during their routine clinical care: one group receiving intravenous sedo-analgesia and the other receiving local anesthesia. Each group will include about 105 women. The FSFI questionnaire, which measures aspects such as desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain, will be completed at a one-month follow-up visit. Additional information like age, pregnancy history, and symptoms will also be collected to evaluate differences between groups and analyze results by symptom status and tissue diagnosis. Women enrolled in the study will attend a one-month follow-up visit to complete the FSFI questionnaire and provide clinical data. Researchers will compare FSFI scores between the two groups to understand how anesthetic techniques might influence sexual function after the procedure. The study is conducted at Prof. Dr. Cemil Taşcıoğlu City Hospital between April 2026 and April 2027. The findings may help improve care and quality of life for women undergoing gynecological procedures.
