ABSTRAKLatar belakang: Keputihan merupakan sering dijumpai menjadi alasan wanita berobat
ke dokter. Pengenalan faktor risiko dan gejala yang menyertainya serta kaitannya dengan
penyebab mikrobiologi keluhan keputihan dapat berguna bagi klinisi dalam praktik
sehari-hari. Penelitian ini mencari hubungan antara faktor risiko dan gejala yang dialami
terhadap temuan mikrobiologi penyebab keputihan pada wanita usia reproduksi.
Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian potong lintang di Departemen Obstetri &
Ginekologi RS Cipto Mangunkusumo, Jakarta. Wawancara dilakukan pada pasien di
poliklinik dengan keluhan keputihan untuk identifikasi faktor risiko dan gejala. Temuan
mikrobiologi dikonfirmasi dengan pemeriksaan yang spesifik sebagai baku emas.
Hasil: Sebanyak 81 subjek ikut serta dalam penelitian ini. Candida sp merupakan
penyebab infeksi tunggal terbanyak yang ditemukan (17 subjek, 12,3%). Hubungan
seksual yang sering (≥3 times/week, p<0,001) dan keputihan meningkat setelah
berhubungan seksual (p=0.04) bmerupakan faktor risiko dan gejala yang berhubungan
dengan Bacterial vaginosis, berturut-turut. Bau amis (p=0,09), nyeri vulva (p=0,026),
dan peningkatan keputihan setelah hubungan seksual (p=0,002) merupakan gejala yang
berhubungan dengan Trichomonas vaginalis. Gatal (p=0,028), keputihan seperti
gumpalan susu (p<0,001), dan keputihan meningkat setelah hari ke-14 siklus menstruasi
(p<0.001) berhubungan dengan Candida sp sementara penggunaan pil KB kombinasi
(p=0,03) dan perdarahan setelah hubungan seksual (p=0,009) merupakan gejala yang
berhubungan dengan Chlamydia trachomatis.
Kesimpulan: Beberapa faktor risiko dan gejala berhubungan dengan temuan
mikrobiologi spesifik sebagai penyebab keluhan keputihan pada populasi wanita usia reproduksi.;
ABSTRACTBackground: Vaginal discharge is a common reason for women to seek medicalattention worldwide. Recognition risk factors and symptoms and their association tospecific microbiological causes of vaginal discharge can be benefical for clinician inclinical practice. This study aimed to identify risk factors and symptoms and theirassociation to specific microbiological causes of vaginal discharge among reproductiveaged women.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Department of Obstetric &Gynecology, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta. We interviewed outpatientsubjects with vaginal discharge for risk factors and symptoms. Microbiological causesidentification was performed using gold standard methods.Results: A total of 81 subjects were included in this study. Candida sp was thecommonest single infection (17 subjects, 12.3%). Frequent (≥3 times/week) sexualintercourse (p <0.001) and increased discharge after sex (p=0.04) were risk factor andsymptom associated with Bacterial vaginosis, respectively. Fishy odor (p=0.09), vulvapain (p=0.026), and increased discharge after sex (p=0.002) were symptoms associatedwith Trichomonas vaginalis. Itchy sensation (p=0.028), clumps of milk appearance(p<0.001), and discharge increased after 14th day of cycle (p<0.001) were associatedwith Candida sp while taking combination pill (p=0.03) and bloody discharge after sex(p=0.009) were associated with Chlamydia trachomatis.Conclusion: Several risk factors and symptoms found to be associated with microbiological causes of vaginal discharge in our population.;Background: Vaginal discharge is a common reason for women to seek medical
