Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer affects not only physical health but also the mental and sexual well-being of survivors, leading to issues like pain during sex and decreased sexual satisfaction.
- The literature currently identifies varying contributing factors to sexual health challenges, including physical symptoms and psychosocial stressors, yet there is a notable gap in research regarding the intersectionality of ethnicity, age, and socioeconomic status in these experiences.
- Recommendations suggest a shift towards a more holistic, patient-centered approach in survivorship care that prioritizes sexual health and comfort, moving beyond just managing the disease itself.
