Technological progress in gynecologic oncology and preventive medicine and health education carried out so that people struggle with cancer has made great achievements, a certain level of cure rate and survival rate. But many people have preconceived ideas of tumors rarely change, and even deep-rooted, they have cancer, as dangerous, and the consequences of unpredictable, and always a potential crisis. It is true that patients with gynecological malignancy until cured or death from the disease between the still quite a long way to go, this period has been good or bad quality of life of the people more and more attention. It was investigated the prevalence of these women about their views on the quality of life after the results listed in the first place is not satisfied with sex life, followed by surgical, radiation therapy or chemotherapy altered body image and quality are not satisfied. Clearly, gynecological malignancies female sexuality will bring considerable negative impact. Of these patients for their female characteristics, body image and their sexual lack of confidence that their loss of sexual attraction, diseases caused serious harm to their self-esteem. They consider themselves and sexuality have become relatively unimportant, and thus social and emotional no longer willing to share the results for their sexual problems are often neglected or deliberately avoided. In addition to outside of their own, their partners often hold an evasive attitude. But the two sides avoided because in the end what is it?
Some people spread of cancer and sexual contact with, thinking only of itself is a normal person can tolerate the consumption of sexual activity. Therefore, because of illness to avoid sexual activity, in particular, is an orgasm. In this deeply rooted in both the hearts of healthy people or patients with all kinds of prejudice on the back is fear:
Of a fear of sexual activity is very strong demand, so it is implied in the sexual intercourse the risk of sudden accidental death, in the broad sense is the fear of death.
For the health of her husband, the fear of sexual intercourse with the patient will be infected with cancer, particularly cancer of his wife underwent surgery and radiation treatment, they refused to have sexual relations with them.
Her husband after surgery for patients, especially changes in the patient’s body image was shocked that they would be disturbed by his wife, Bingti incomplete, this is a fear of the loss.
The fear of sexual impotence, female patients, particularly after genital surgery and radiation therapy patients are often afraid of the disease caused damage to their sexual function.
The fear is not only unique to the patients and their partners, but also healthy people possess, especially when they experience in their sexual response and the integrity of feeling there is doubt. Problems of these patients there is nothing special about.
Cancer itself is not always what the nature of the difficulties, even if there is also very light, do not need treatment. Problems most of the signs of difficulties in the patient, but also a partner difficulties in signal. A matter of fact by the disease, not only their physical injuries, but also mental trauma in large part today, people still can not be objectively estimated that the disease brought them trouble, tension, suffering and pain, fear, and how the need for a strong and how durable. They will become isolated, and even relatives and loved ones do not allow them to get rid of diseases caused by hardship. They are facing not just the disease, as well as family, occupation, social status, honor, faith, love and sex life.
With breast cancer as an example, the survey showed that patients with sexual behavior depends largely on their age. Young women in sexual relationships where both the level of performance even more active, they will soon be fully restored after surgery sex. The 55-year-old than from breast cancer patients are often evasive behavior, it is because the results of total loss of libido. Because breast cancer surgery itself, but the real affect sexual function less and less room is really an example. Is the normal period in the fifties and sixties, the sexual desire and sexual activity will be reduced. From another angle, when the acceptance of breast cancer patients with radical mastectomy and did not succeed to adapt to new living situations can also occur with a lack of sexual desire and sexual behavior to avoid the situation. The couple will appear on all kinds of sexual fear and conflict.
This very common low sexual desire and sexual avoidance would disrupt the rehabilitation of these women. In addition, as a consequence of radiation therapy, vaginal lubrication capability will be compromised, the ability to sexual function to varying degrees, and thus also be affected.
Serious illness of a person’s ability to adapt to the disease itself not only by the nature and severity of the impact of heart patients has also been factors and environmental factors. This impact is multifaceted, but also unique and individual. Some of the sexual life of female patients has not been disrupted or affected in a very light, the other women might be far-reaching consequences. Therefore, their understanding of sexual way with them the attitude of the disease itself is the same.
In the first few months after diagnosis, if the development is a progressive disease, sexual desire and sexual activity becomes less important; some patients, however, there is great need for physical intimacy. For all the fear of the disease, their partners often do not perceive such a need, so between the two would create emotional and physical distance. Some couples in the course of the disease can be successfully stabilized spontaneously rid of this barrier, while some couples are not able to overcome this emotional distance. In the latter case, when the body’s fight against the disease itself has become stable and improved when the trouble between the two sides has become increasingly serious, which need to be helped from the outside in order to break down those barriers. Cancer, women’s difficulties in the most common chief complaint is the loss of libido, or sexual behavior exists but has avoided sexual contact. Sexual desire disorder as a disease caused by depression, one of the whole performance, while the remaining cases, the sexual desire to avoid patient indicates that she has not yet beyond the body against diseases caused by fear of attack. That is the damage the disease is limited, and her own body negative imagination is too much, so there is too much concern, resulting in the avoidance of unnecessary sex.
Passive behavior of restraint and also because of their partner’s behavior became increasingly serious, as a result of the past, a partner of factors, make them as effective as an increasingly active. Because it has always been more sexual activity initiated by the husband, but now even if the woman sent a signal of sexual desire, her husband is often no positive response.
One women in the mastectomy after 6 months as long as no let her husband take a look at surgical scar, but also to avoid any sexual contact. But she is also concerned about the husband’s sexual abstinence can be patient for this long and not go looking for another woman, in fact, the two sides before surgery is very frequent and satisfying sex life. She consultation showed damage of their own body image feelings of guilt, but fear of losing her husband’s love. She can bring justice first in milk when the bra or wear T-shirts and her husband make love without having to completely evaded. Then after a few weeks to restore the body to adapt to caress up and down activity, but try not to touch the scar left behind after surgery.
Some women’s vagina in cervical cancer after surgery reduced to 5 cm, while the husband’s sexual demands are not reduced, or even because of fear of losing each other to increase the frequency of sexual activity, when they are often due to fear of disease recurrence and new The injury, which can not be tolerated and feel sick. Sexual intercourse when they have no pleasant feelings, but rather for her husband’s growing resentment. Their husband always tried to daily activities to prove that his wife is still “healthy”, or has freed itself from a terrible disease. Then you can advise them to use the techniques of non-genital sexual practices.
The incidence of vulvar carcinoma in situ is on the rise, the incidence of vulvar carcinoma younger age than is common in 30-40 year-old woman. Therefore, in the clinical treatment should be considered a variety of therapeutic measures on women’s mental and behavioral effects, particularly sexual function changes must not be overlooked.
Time over the past advocated expanding in situ treatment of genital Local resection or the removal of the entire vulva (the whole resection or radical mastectomy), the ground that belongs to invasive carcinoma in situ before the state, and are usually multiple lesions. However, this procedure is no doubt women have paid a tremendous physical and emotional costs. The majority of women exposed to sexual response and sexual intercourse is not only an obstacle, in fact they have been abandoned and partners of all sexual activity. Therefore, in order to avoid such a major blow to the physical and psychological, the medical profession has been committed to increase its recurrence rate is not obvious where to take other therapeutic measures. Including the expansion of local excision of the lesions or implants from other parts of the health of the skin. If the original early detection of cancer, may consider the chemical or lasers, and other non-surgical treatment. This avoids a significant impact on sexual function in patients.
Control study found that surgical treatment can lead to changes in sexual response and sexual dysfunction, such as sexual orgasm frequency in inverse proportion to the extent of surgery, surgery to do bigger and more thoroughly in the future of women in the lower frequency of orgasm. Will result in removal of the clitoris after sexual function changes. Although the patient soon after surgery is also some sexual activity, but as time goes on, to stop sexual activity of women is still increasing. These women often do not seek new sexual partners. Thus, little difference in efficacy when the conservative treatment will be better able to maintain their sexual function.
