Pelvic Floor and Sexual Dysfunction in Women With Sjogren's Syndrome
Pelvic Floor and Sexual Dysfunction in Women With Sjogren's Syndrome
Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic, systemic, autoimmune disease characterized by
 lymphocytic infiltration of all exocrine glands, especially tear and salivary glands, and is
 more common in women.
Sexual functions are affected by symptoms such as pain, fatigue, stiffness, and hormonal
 imbalance in rheumatological disorders. Vaginal dryness and dyspepsia negatively affect
 participation in sexual activity. The aim of the study is to examine the pelvic floor
 problems of women with SS with a self-report, to compare them with healthy individuals, and
 finally to examine the relationship between pelvic floor problems and sexual dysfunction.
