Objective:To explore the correlation between endogenous sex hormone factors and sexual function in Chinese women.Methods:A total of 711 women who met the criteria were investigated in the Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Chaoyang District Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, Beijing Chaoyang District Taiyanggong Community Health Service Centre from April 2020 to March 2021. Sociodemographic data (data split into two groups according to educational background: high school or above and lower high school; and three categories based on marital relationship: satisfied, average, and dissatisfied) and serum levels of sex hormones were collected. Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) was evaluated using the female sexual function index (FSFI). Participants were divided into three groups according to the Stages of Reproductive Aging Workshop (STRAW+10): reproductive stage group, menopausal transition stage group and postmenopausal stage group. Spearman rank correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to determine the correlation between characteristics and scores of FSFI.Results:The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that postmenopausal stage, secondary education level, neutral and dissatisfied marital relations were significantly negatively correlated with total FSFI score (all P<0.01). Secondary education level, neutral and dissatisfied marital relations were negatively associated with nearly all FSFI domains apart from pain score (all P<0.05); postmenopausal stage was negatively associated with lubrication, satisfaction and pain (all P<0.05). FSH was negatively associated with all FSFI domain scores (all P<0.05). There was a significantly positive correlation between estradiol and scores of FSFI dimensions other than orgasm and satisfaction (all P<0.05). Total testosterone positively affected the score of total FSFI and desire (all P<0.05); free testosterone was positively related to orgasm ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Estradiol and total testosterone serve as protective factors for female sexual function.

Objective:To preserve fertility and endocrine function of an endometrial carcinoma patient by ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation.Methods:Part of the ovary was harvested and cryopreserved when surgery for a 33-year-old woman who was diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma. After the cancer reached remission, the patient underwent cryopreserved ovarian tissue transplantation. The endocrine hormone, follicle growth, and menopausal syndromes were detected.Results:One month after the surgery of transplantation, the modified Kupperman scores decreased from 12 to 2, and the menopausal syndrome disappeared. Two months after the operation of transplantation, the concentration of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) decreased to 21.78 IU/L, the level of estradiol increased from 13.76 ng/L to 65.55 ng/L, and follicle growth was observed by ultrasound. Four months after the surgery of transplantation, the level of FSH decreased to 6.26 IU/L, the level of estradiol increased to 112.22 ng/L. Nine months after the operation of transplantation, the level of estradiol was 118.14 ng/L, the level of progesterone increased to 8.96 μg/L, and two corpus luteum after ovulation were detected by ultrasound.Conclusion:Two months after the surgery of transplantation, the ovarian function has returned to normal, which demonstrated the success of transplantation of frozen-thawed ovarian tissue.
