About this study

Official title: Reproductive Health Outcomes Among Young Women With Ovarian Neoplasms Following Surgical Treatment: A Retrospective Study

This retrospective study aims to assess reproductive health outcomes including menstrual function, fertility potential, menopausal symptoms, sexual function, and quality of life in young women following surgical treatment for ovarian neoplasms.

Read the detailed description

Ovarian neoplasms in young women can significantly impact reproductive health due to the disease itself and surgical treatment. Fertility-sparing surgery is often considered, but outcomes regarding menstrual function, sexual health, and quality of life need evaluation.

This retrospective observational study will review medical records and administer validated questionnaires to women aged 18 to 45 years who underwent surgical treatment for ovarian neoplasms at Women's Health Hospital, Assiut University.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Female Sexual Function Index score

    Mean Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) total score (range 2 to 36, higher scores indicate better sexual function).

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Reproductive Concerns After Cancer Scale score

    Mean Reproductive Concerns After Cancer (RCAC) total score (higher scores indicate greater reproductive concerns).

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Menopause Rating Scale score

    Mean Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) total score (range 0 to 44, higher scores indicate more severe menopausal symptoms).

    Measured: Baseline

  3. EORTC QLQ-C30 global health status score

    Mean EORTC QLQ-C30 global health status / quality of life score (range 0 to 100, higher scores indicate better quality of life).

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Frequency of menstrual irregularities

    Percentage of women reporting menstrual irregularities after surgery.

    Measured: Baseline
