Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) presents unique challenges for young adult men that extend beyond physical symptoms, encompassing psychosocial dimensions affecting all aspects of life. This article draws insights from a roundtable discussion facilitated by the Crohn's and Colitis Young Adults Network (CCYAN), focusing on the experiences of young men living with IBD. It sheds light on the intersections of IBD and men's sexual and reproductive health, fertility, and mental well-being while identifying gaps in care. The article offers recommendations for clinicians and emphasizes the role of care partners and social support, underlining the need for dedicated support structures to improve the lives of men living with IBD.
炎症性肠病(IBD)给年轻成年男性带来了独特的挑战,这些挑战不仅限于身体症状,还包括影响生活方方面面的心理社会层面。本文借鉴了由克罗恩病和结肠炎青年网络(CCYAN)组织的一次圆桌讨论的见解,重点关注患有IBD的年轻男性的经历。它揭示了IBD与男性性健康和生殖健康、生育能力以及心理健康的交叉点,同时找出了护理方面的差距。本文为临床医生提供了建议,并强调了护理伙伴和社会支持的作用,强调需要有专门的支持结构来改善患有IBD的男性的生活。
