“…Studying in Turkey, Bektas and Ozkan (36) achieved the results indicating that post-operation body image has been more problematic for women undergoing mastectomy than those having surgery with preserving breast. It seems that the psychological complications have influenced women's sexual function more that the physiological factors because in the majority of the reported studies, the most common sexual problem has been sexuality and arousal .This dimension mainly reflects their psychological status and conditions while the dimensions like sexual stimulation ,vaginal moisture and dyspareunia are caused due to physiological disorders (9). In this research, the most common sexual problem has been found in the sexuality and sexuality arousal dimension.…”
