Colorectal cancer survivors with ostomies can face complex concerns regarding sexuality. We used an anthropological perspective to examine the experiences of 30 female colorectal cancer survivors with ostomies to shed light on the sexual challenges and adaptations made in the wake of cancer surgery and treatment. Participants fell into four categories with regard to their sexual experience post surgery; however, not all women found their altered sexuality to be particularly problematic. This type of phenomenological examination can inform a more patient-centered, less biomedically focused paradigm for assessing and improving the sexual health of cancer survivors.
患有造口术的结直肠癌幸存者在性方面可能面临复杂的问题。我们从人类学角度研究了30名患有造口术的女性结直肠癌幸存者的经历，以揭示癌症手术和治疗后所面临的性挑战以及适应情况。参与者在术后性经历方面分为四类；然而，并非所有女性都认为自己性方面的改变特别成问题。这种现象学研究能够为评估和改善癌症幸存者的性健康提供一种更以患者为中心、更少以生物医学为重点的模式。
