Résumé

Aim

To evaluate the frequency and factors associated with sexual disorders during chronic common low back pain in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso).

Material and methods

We conducted an analytic cross-sectional study from May 10 to September 10, 2019, of adult patients with chronic non-deficient common low back pain. Sexual disorders were screened using the Male Sexual Health Questionnaire (MSHQ) in men, and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) in women. We assessed the frequency of these sexual disorders, and the factors associated with them, among the epidemiological and functional (Owestry disability index) characteristics of the patients.

Results

One hundred and fourteen patients were included in the study. Their mean age was 46.5 +/- 3.5 years and the sex ratio was 0.36. Of these patients, 93 (81.6%) had a sexual disorder, i.e. 21 out of 30 men (70%), and 72 out of 84 women (85.7%). A sedentary lifestyle (p=0.04), smoking (p=0.01) or alcohol consumption (p=0.03), or the presence of a moderate or severe functional disability (p=0.03) significantly influenced the occurrence of sexual disorders in men. A sedentary lifestyle (p=0.04), overweight and obesity (p=0.02), or the presence of a moderate or severe disability (p=0.02) significantly influenced the occurrence of sexual disorders in women.

Conclusions

Sexual dysfunction was common among patients with chronic low back pain in Ouagadougou. Their frequency was 81.6%, and the associated factors were a sedentary lifestyle and the presence of a moderate or severe functional disability, in addition to overweight and obesity in women, and smoking and alcoholism in men.
