Problems with intimacy and sexuality are one of the major concerns of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Many symptoms, complications, and consequences of these disorders are likely to impact on body image, intimacy, and sexual function. Moreover, mood disorders, in particular depression, which is a major risk factor for sexual dysfunctions, are reported to be common in chronic illnesses such as IBD. However, despite this obvious relevance, sexual problems are rarely addressed in the clinical management of patients with IBD. The aim of this review was to discuss sexual problem in people with IBD.
亲密关系和性功能问题是炎症性肠病(IBD)患者的主要担忧之一。这些疾病的许多症状、并发症和后果都可能影响身体形象、亲密关系和性功能。此外,据报道,情绪障碍,尤其是抑郁症,作为性功能障碍的主要风险因素,在IBD等慢性疾病中很常见。然而,尽管存在这种明显的相关性,但在IBD患者的临床管理中,性问题很少得到解决。本综述的目的是讨论IBD患者的性问题。
