Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze clinical features of patients with interstitial cystitis (IC) and bladder pain syndrome (BPS) by using a patient registry in Japan, classifying patients based on cystoscopic findings.
- A total of 529 patients from 14 university hospitals were included, showing that 66.5% had IC, with these patients being older and predominantly female, and with more comorbid autoimmune diseases.
- Results indicated that patients with IC experienced worse symptoms, quality of life, and bladder function compared to those with BPS, with specific bladder measurements significantly correlating with pain levels in IC patients.
Purpose: Twenty five years have passed since the first national survey on erectile dysfunction (ED) in Japan. The Japanese Society for Sexual Medicine conducted a nationwide survey on the actual status of sexual function targeting men over 20 years old in Japan using validated questionnaires commonly used in clinical practice.
Materials And Methods: Japanese men aged 20 to 79 years participated in our online epidemiological study on sexual dysfunction.
Objectives: To investigate the main symptoms of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and lower urinary tract symptoms associated with vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) symptoms as the core symptoms of genitourinary syndrome of menopause.
Methods: We extracted the data of 4134 Japanese women aged 40-79 years who participated in the GENitourinary syndrome of menopause in JApanese women (GENJA) study. All participants responded to web-based questionnaires assessing their health situation, including the Vulvovaginal Symptoms Questionnaire, the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and the Core Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) in Japan using the Japanese translation of the Vulvovaginal Symptoms Questionnaire (VSQ) with online survey. In addition, we examined the relationship between sexual activity and GSM symptoms.
Methods: An online survey on GSM was conducted with 4,134 women aged 40 to 79 years, who were registered in an online survey company.
