Breast cancer and Sexual Health
\nThe studies have demonstrated that changes to sexual well-being are common, following breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. A study by Susan Williamson, School of Health, University of Central Lancashire, Preston, Lancashire, UK, suggests that 85% of women with breast cancer reported changes to sexual well-being. Some of the commonly felt sex problems are:-<\/p>\n
Lack of sexual interest<\/strong><\/p>\n A significant proportion of women with breast cancer show the symptoms of depression and loss of sexual desire. The quality of the sexual experience declines considerably following breast cancer. A breast cancer patient is given a chemotherapy that supress sexual desire.<\/p>\n Decrease in sexual frequency<\/strong><\/p>\n There is a reduction in the frequency of sexual activities; sometimes it dips to one or two times per year according to a study. Nearly 80% of the women who develop breast cancer abstain from intercourse.<\/p>\n Menopause symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n Many women who have menopause experience dryness in the vagina and loss of tissue elasticity. Similarly, women who get chemotherapy treatment experience vaginal dryness, irritability and mood swings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Emotional Instability<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The patients have negative thoughts and find themselves distracted during sex by negative images and thoughts about their body and appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Breast cancer and Sexual Health The studies have demonstrated that changes to sexual well-being are common, following breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
