- W2541489623 abstract "e15518 Background: With ever-increasing number of cancer survivors nearing 12 million, a majority of women will face vaginal health issues related to their disease and/or treatment. Hypothesis is that there is direct damage to ovarian follicles as a result of ionizing radiation leading to follicular atrophy and decrease in ovarian follicular reserve. Cancer treatment with radiotherapy induces menopause-causing estrogen-deprivation symptoms. Hence this study was conducted to investigate the frequency of radiation-induced menopausal and sexual symptoms in cervical cancer survivors Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between Feb-June 2011 on cohort of 55 advanced cervical cancer patients treated with pelvic radiation of 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions over 5.5 weeks and concurrent Cisplatin, followed by intracavitary boost of 15 Grays. Women aged 55 or older and/or postmenopausal at the time of the survey were excluded. By using a questionnaire, frequency of menopause was tried to elicit along with associated sexual symptoms like hot flushes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, dyspareunia, loss of libido, botheration. Results: The average age and parity were 38.8 years and 3.6 respectively. Amenorrhoea was found in all patients. 27 (49%) patients were asymptomatic. Among 28 (50.9%) symptomatic patients, we found hot flushes in 21 (38.2%), vaginal dryness in 38 (69%), mood swings in 12 (21.8%), dyspareunia in 27 (49%), loss of libido in 26 (47.2%), bothersome in 28 (50.9%). Conclusions: Menopausal symptoms were associated with other health-related issues known to compromise the quality of life. These results highlight the need to better acknowledge and define the utility of hormonal therapy in this population. Recommendations need to be provided to treating gynaecologists and Oncologists to identify, treat and promote vaginal health. Vaginal health issues can be reduced by dedicating a small duration of time to educate the cancer survivors on hormonal/non-hormonal vaginal health strategies." @default.
