“…Nevertheless, other studies, like our case, have found that the type of surgery does not intervene as an element that can cause sexual disorders [41,42]. These results are consistent with those noted by research in northern, southern and central Tunisia [20,21,32]. Regarding breast reconstruction, some believe that it facilitates the professional life and social relations of women [43].…”

“…Our results were comparable to a Tunisian study by Zaied using the RSS scale, conducted on 100 women with breast cancer in Monastir, which found 18% sexual dysfunction, 47% reduction in sexual desire, decreased ability to reach orgasm in 61%, sexual attraction in 25%, frequency of intercourse in 53%, and dyspareunia and vaginal dryness were present in 45% of patients [20]. In the Tunisian study by Ellouz of 100 women followed for breast cancer at the Salah-Azaiez Institute in Tunis, 75% of cases were sexually dysfunctional, an alteration in the sexual relationship and in the couple relationship in 47% and 24.7% respectively in the study population, decreased sexual desire in 56%, decreased sexual arousal in 60%, difficulty reaching orgasm in 59%, lubrication insufficient in 53% and penetration pain in 53% and Fifty-seven percent of patients were dissatisfied with their sexuality [21].…”

“…We did not find any correlation between the professional activity of our patients and their partners and sexual disorders. The majority of studies find no relationship between occupation and sexual problems in breast cancer patients [17,20,21]. An Iranian study of 150 women with genital cancers including 108 women with breast cancer reported that there was a significant correlation between sexual functioning and occupation [29].…”

Introduction: Breast cancer is a public health problem because of its frequency and severity. This pathology affects the quality of life of the patient and causes physical, psychological, social and especially sexual sequelae. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 30 patients followed for non-metastatic breast cancer at Monastir Maternity and Neonatal Center. Data collection was conducted using a fact sheet and two internationally validated scales: RSS (Relationship and sexuality) and BESAA (Body-Esteem Scale for Adolescents and Adults). Results: Sexual desire was affected by the disease and its treatments in fourteen patients. The ability to achieve orgasm was reduced in eighteen patients Fourteen patients felt less sexually attractive. Twenty one women reported a decrease in the frequency of sexual intercourse. Four women reported a fear of sex. Dyspareunia and vaginal dryness were present in six women. Women aged 35 to 39 years were significantly more afraid of having sex (p = 0.039) and less sexual frequency (p = 0.003) Hormone therapy was significantly correlated with sexual functioning impairment (p = 0.009) and lower sexual frequency (p = 0.017). Overall, the alteration of the body image was significantly and positively correlated with sexual fear (P = 0.011, r = + 0.46). Altered perception of appearance was significantly and positively correlated with sexual fear (p = 0.008, r = +0.477). The dissatisfaction with weight was significantly and positively correlated with sexual fear (P = 0.011, r = +0.45). Conclusion: Women with breast cancer suffer clear sexual sequelae. These women deserve adequate and collaborative care to ensure a better life.

SLE might affect all aspects of life including sexual functioning; previous study found that body image disturbance (BID) was the most powerful predictors of impaired partner relationships and sexual function. The current study investigated the relationship among disease parameters, quality of life, the psychological status, BID, and sexual problems in Chinese patients with SLE. A self-report survey design was administered to 168 SLE patients and 210 healthy individuals. Our results showed that 86 (55.1%) SLE patients reported impaired relationships with a sexual partner or partners, and 100 (64.1%) patients reported impaired sexual function which were significantly higher than the control group (31.6%, 35.7%, rep.). Age, marital status, depression, and BIDQ were the most powerful predictors of impaired partner relationships, while BIDQ3 and education, disease activity, and depression were the most significant causes of impaired sexual function. The study for first time reported Chinese SLE patients had sexual problems and BID was associated with sexual problems. So, early detection and interventions might not only rehabilitate the patients and their loved ones, but also improve overall health outcomes and reduce the direct and indirect costs of their medical care.
