Sexual health is an important consideration for young adults with cancer; however, oncology healthcare providers are often not equipped with strategies to approach these problems in a systematic way. To address this gap in adolescents and young adults (AYA) care, a one-day international Sexual Health Symposium was held before the Global AYA Cancer Congress (Edinburgh, December 2016). The goals of the symposium were to (1) provide a forum, where international AYA experts had the opportunity to share their knowledge regarding AYA sexual health and (2) develop a guideline for healthcare professionals to screen for and intervene on sexual health issues. This review focused on commonly encountered concerns: (1) management of climacteric symptoms, (2) sexual dysfunction in young men, (3) contraception during and after cancer therapy, and (4) psychosocial issues and care.
性健康是癌症青年患者需要考虑的重要问题;然而,肿瘤学医护人员通常不具备系统处理这些问题的策略。为了解决青少年和年轻成人(AYA)护理方面的这一差距,在全球 AYA 癌症大会(2016 年 12 月,爱丁堡)之前举办了为期一天的国际性健康研讨会。研讨会的目标是:(1)提供一个论坛,让国际 AYA 专家有机会分享他们关于 AYA 性健康的知识;(2)制定一个指南,以便医疗保健专业人员筛查和干预性健康问题。这篇综述重点关注常见的问题:(1)更年期症状的管理,(2)年轻男性的性功能障碍,(3)癌症治疗期间和之后的避孕,以及(4)社会心理问题和护理。
