这篇文章提供了性和婚姻治疗师详细的，多方面的描述乳腺癌后的性行为的基础上，从863乳腺癌幸存者的调查答复。三分之一的妇女报告说，乳腺癌对她的性生活产生了负面影响，大多数妇女报告说，至少在某些方面发生了负面变化。尽管如此，乳腺癌幸存者与年龄匹配的健康女性在性行为的标准测量上没有差异。最有可能报告癌症对性行为产生负面影响的女性是那些经历过荷尔蒙状态变化、人际关系问题和阴道干燥困难的女性。根据这些发现，我们为治疗乳腺癌幸存者的卫生专业人员和治疗师提供建议。
This article provides sex and marital therapists with detailed, multifaceted descriptions of sexuality after breast cancer based on survey responses from 863 breast cancer survivors. One third of women reported that breast cancer had had a negative impact on her sex life, and most reported negative changes in at least some areas. Nonetheless, breast cancer survivors did not differ from age-matched healthy women on a standard measure of sexuality. Women who were most likely to report a negative impact on sexuality from cancer were those who had experienced changes in hormonal status, problems in their relationships, and difficulties with vaginal dryness. On the basis of these findings, we offer suggestions for health professionals and therapists treating breast cancer survivors.
