Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is complex, often worsened by chronic diseases like cancer. Addressing FSD in these women is crucial for improving their quality of life and relationships.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Chronic Disease Management
  • Psychosocial Oncology

Context:

  • Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is multifactorial, impacting quality of life, mood, and relationships.
  • FSD prevalence increases with relationship dissatisfaction and male partners' erectile dysfunction.
  • Chronic diseases significantly exacerbate FSD, affecting physical, emotional, and partnership aspects.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the understudied impact of chronic diseases on female sexual function.
  • To draw attention to sexual dysfunction in women with breast cancer and their information needs.
  • To emphasize the importance of integrating FSD diagnosis and management into routine care for women with chronic conditions.

Summary:

  • Chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, and fibromyalgia negatively affect female sexual function through physical, emotional, and medication-related factors.
