Resumen

Introducción: los estudios epidemiológicos señalan que los trastornos sexuales son comunes en hombres y mujeres de todas las edades y sociedades, pero son más frecuentes en personas mayores y en las que padecen enfermedades crónicas, incluyendo la depresión y el cáncer. Objetivo: conocer la prevalencia de trastornos sexuales en pacientes con cáncer ginecológico en una población de mujeres del Quindío - Colombia. Resultados: estudio en 207 mujeres. El cáncer de mama representó 36.2% del total, endometrio 18.8%, cérvix 26.0%, ovario 11.5% y vulva 7.2%. Los trastornos sexuales se detectaron en el 48.9% del grupo con edades entre 20-40 años, en 58.8% en el de 41-60 y en 96.3% de las mujeres entre 61-80 años de edad, siendo del 100% en las mayores de 80 años. La prevalencia de trastornos sexuales fue del 94.2% en este grupo de mujeres. Conclusión: la prevalencia de trastornos sexuales es elevada entre mujeres con cáncer ginecológico. La angustia acerca de los trastornos sexuales es más del doble de prevalente entre las mujeres con cáncer de vulva o cérvix. En contraste, las pacientes con cáncer de mama presentaron menores porcentajes de dificultades sexuales, pero no por eso deja de ser importante, puesto que las cifras continúan siendo superiores a las de la comunidad no oncológica.
