Article Synopsis
- The lifetime risk of dying from breast and cervical cancer in Africa is significantly higher compared to developed countries, primarily due to a lack of awareness and low screening levels.
- The study aimed to assess women's knowledge about these cancers and identify factors affecting their participation in screening programs in Nigeria.
- Findings revealed that while there was some awareness of breast cancer, knowledge about cervical cancer was limited, and participation in screening was influenced by factors such as lack of information, personal beliefs, economic barriers, and inadequate facilities.
Background: Systematic studies on the association between men's sexual dysfunction (low sexual desire, ejaculation disorders, erectile dysfunctions, genital ulcers, testicular disorders, prostate cancer or sexually transmitted infections) and marital conflict are emerging. However, the coping strategies adopted by wives in such circumstances are not commonly reported in the literature. Male sexual functioning is vital to the marital relationship, lack of it can result in intolerable cohabitation or relationship breakdown, and could also cause infertility, infidelity, and arouse stigma in Nigeria.
