Sexual Well-being of Women Undergoing Mastectomy and Reconstruction
Sponsor: European Institute of Oncology
Summary
The study plans to collect data from patients on sexual well-being after mastectomy and immediate reconstruction by surveys. This data can support preoperative patient counselling and the prevention and care of adverse effects of cancer treatments. Specific subpopulations of mastectomy women showing severe sexual impairment can be outlined; they may benefit from lifestyle changes and intervention strategies (intravaginal use of diazepam, local hyaluronic acid, intravaginal use of spermidine, pelvic floor gymnastic and physiotherapy). Our goal is to improve quality of life of breast cancer patients.
