“…Therefore the International Index for Erectile Function [IIEF] for males and the Female Sexual Function Index [FSFI] for femaleswere used in the majority of the studies. 7,8,11,13,14,15,16,17,19,20 The majority of the studies examined sexual function in both males and females and thus the results are not presented based on sex. Instead the results are presented based on participant selection.…”

“…Instead the results are presented based on participant selection. Thus six studies examined the sexual function among male and/or female patients with IBD registered on various national database or presented in a clinical setting, 7,8,9,10,11,12 whereas eight studies included only male and/or female patients who had undergone a surgery and examined their sexual function. 13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 Potentially relevant studies identi ed through the initial search of the literature: n=165…”

Background and Aims: Inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD] are a group of chronic, debilitating inflammatory intestinal conditions. The aim of this review was to assess the recent data regarding the impact of IBD in sexual function of male and female patients. Methods: A literature search was conducted on MEDLINE using, among others, the following search terms or their combinations: ulcerative colitis; Crohn's disease; sexual function; sexual health; relationship status; erectile dysfunction; surgery. All English-language studies published in the past 10 years which provided data evaluating the sexual function in IBD patients were included. Results: Fourteen studies were identified; six included IBD patients registered on a national database or presented in a clinical setting, whereas eight evaluated sexual function after a surgical intervention for IBD. The majority of the studies used the validated for general populations International Index for Erectile Function [IIEF] and the Female Sexual Function Index [FSFI] for the assessment of sexual function among males and females, respectively. An impaired sexual function has been reported in general cohorts of IBD patients; females seemed to experience worse sexual dysfunction than males. Furthermore, depression was a consistent negative predictive factor across studies. Surgery did not seem to affect sexual function in the majority of studies, except a prospective one which reported a significant improvement in male sexual function [IIEF, p < 0.05] but not female [FSFI, p = 0.6]. Conclusions: Sexual function among IBD patients may be impaired, thus more studies are needed in order to develop the appropriate instruments and proper and effective management strategies.

“…More recent data reported by Timmer et al 5 indicated that there was no difference in the proportion of IBD patients who were sexually active when compared to healthy controls. However, men but not women reported less relationship satisfaction, whereas women but not men reported impaired sexual function.…”

“…By comparison, UC has less of an effect on fertility, unless patients had undergone any IBD related surgery [12,13] . Several other factors associated with active IBD can also contribute to the overall lower rate of conception in IBD including dyspareunia, low libido, and depression [14][15][16] . Dyspareunia (painful sexual congress) often occurs secondary to pelvic surgery, from IBD-associated inflammation, or psychological stress associated with IBD.…”

AbstractInflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic idiopathic inflammatory conditions characterized by relapsing and remitting episodes of inflammation which can affect several different regions of the gastrointestinal tract, but also shows extra-intestinal manifestations. IBD is most frequently diagnosed during peak female reproductive years, with 25% of women with IBD conceiving after their diagnosis. While IBD therapy has improved dramatically with enhanced surveillance and more abundant and powerful treatment options, IBD disease can have important effects on pregnancy and presents several challenges for maintaining optimal outcomes for mothers with IBD and the developing fetus/neonate. Women with IBD, the medical team treating them (both gastroenterologists and obstetricians/gynecologists) must often make highly complicated choices regarding conception, pregnancy, and post-natal care (particularly breastfeeding) related to their choice of treatment options at different phases of pregnancy as well as post-partum. This current review discusses current concerns and recommendations for pregnancy during 157November 6, 2015|Volume 6|Issue 4| WJGPT|www.wjgnet.com Hosseini-Carroll P et al . Pregnancy and inflammatory bowel diseases IBD and is intended for gastroenterologists, general practitioners and IBD patients intending to become, (or already) pregnant, and their families. We have addressed patterns of IBD inheritance, effects of IBD on fertility and conception (in both men and women), the effects of IBD disease activity on maintenance of pregnancy and outcomes, risks of diagnostic procedures during pregnancy and potential risks and complications associated with different classes of IBD therapeutics. We also have evaluated the clinical experience using "top-down" care with biologics, which is currently the standard care at our institution. Post-partum care and breastfeeding recommendations are also addressed. Core tip: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory conditions characterized by relapsing and remitting episodes of intestinal inflammation. IBD is most frequently diagnosed during peak female reproductive years, with 25% of women with IBD conceiving after their diagnosis. While therapies have improved dramatically, IBDs have important effects on pregnancy and present challenges for maintaining optimal outcomes for mothers and their developing fetus/ neonate.
