“…Therefore the International Index for Erectile Function [IIEF] for males and the Female Sexual Function Index [FSFI] for femaleswere used in the majority of the studies. 7,8,11,13,14,15,16,17,19,20 The majority of the studies examined sexual function in both males and females and thus the results are not presented based on sex. Instead the results are presented based on participant selection.…”

“…Thus six studies examined the sexual function among male and/or female patients with IBD registered on various national database or presented in a clinical setting, 7,8,9,10,11,12 whereas eight studies included only male and/or female patients who had undergone a surgery and examined their sexual function. 13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 Potentially relevant studies identi ed through the initial search of the literature: n=165…”

“…15 However, total FSFI and SFQ scores before and after surgery did not differ by the type of surgery. 15 Cornish et al compared sexual function between IBD females undergoing restorative proctocolectomy [RPC] and IBD females without a stoma or RPC. 16 RPC was not associated with impaired sexual function, since no significant difference was found in any FSFI domain or total scores between cases and controls.…”

Background and Aims: Inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD] are a group of chronic, debilitating inflammatory intestinal conditions. The aim of this review was to assess the recent data regarding the impact of IBD in sexual function of male and female patients. Methods: A literature search was conducted on MEDLINE using, among others, the following search terms or their combinations: ulcerative colitis; Crohn's disease; sexual function; sexual health; relationship status; erectile dysfunction; surgery. All English-language studies published in the past 10 years which provided data evaluating the sexual function in IBD patients were included. Results: Fourteen studies were identified; six included IBD patients registered on a national database or presented in a clinical setting, whereas eight evaluated sexual function after a surgical intervention for IBD. The majority of the studies used the validated for general populations International Index for Erectile Function [IIEF] and the Female Sexual Function Index [FSFI] for the assessment of sexual function among males and females, respectively. An impaired sexual function has been reported in general cohorts of IBD patients; females seemed to experience worse sexual dysfunction than males. Furthermore, depression was a consistent negative predictive factor across studies. Surgery did not seem to affect sexual function in the majority of studies, except a prospective one which reported a significant improvement in male sexual function [IIEF, p < 0.05] but not female [FSFI, p = 0.6]. Conclusions: Sexual function among IBD patients may be impaired, thus more studies are needed in order to develop the appropriate instruments and proper and effective management strategies.
