The interference of treatment with the sexual life of the patient is an important but relatively neglected aspect of the study of carcinoma of the cervix uteri. In a study of the coital function of patients who had radiotherapy for Stages I to III (FIGO Classification) carcinoma of the cervix in the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria, dyspareunia and the fear of recurrence of the malignancy accounted for a marked reduction in the frequency of intercourse after treatment of their disease. A significant finding was the disruption in marital relationships directly attributable to the illness. Steps to minimise these problems are discussed.
治疗对患者性生活的干扰是子宫颈癌研究中一个重要但相对被忽视的方面。在尼日利亚伊巴丹大学学院医院（UCH）对患有FIGO分期为I至III期子宫颈癌并接受放疗的患者的性交功能进行的一项研究中，性交困难和对恶性肿瘤复发的恐惧导致她们在疾病治疗后性交频率显著降低。一个重要发现是疾病直接导致了婚姻关系的破裂。文中讨论了将这些问题降至最低的措施。
