摘要：
Women’s sexual dysfunction after breast cancer diagnosis and treatment has received little research attention in Iran (I.R). Our goal was to identify sexual dysfunction and its related factors in Iranian women after diagnosis of breast cancer. A sample of 82 female breast cancer survivors seen for routine follow-up appointment from March 2006 to March 2007 completed a survey questionnaire regarding their sexual experiences, body image perception and opinion about sex after cancer diagnosis and treatment. The various aspects of sexual function that were disturbed was related to factors such as age, marital status, body image perception, and perceived husband’s attitude. The authors conclude that healthcare workers’ education is very important, so taking time to do research and passing along knowledge will go a long way in helping to address sexual disturbances in breast cancer survivor in our community.
