Background: Sexual disturbances after colostomy are various. However, they probably remain underestimated in societies where sexuality is still a taboo issue. THE AIM of this prospective study was to evaluate the possible sexual behaviour and the post operative sexual disturbances in patients whome underwent colostomy.
Methods: The group was devided in 10 male and 11 female patients. Seventeen patients (81%) were married, 3 widowed and 1 unmaried.
Results: Sexual disturbances were found in 47% of patients. There was a lack of interest in sexual relations in 2 women, a resolved premature ejaculation in one case, post operative dysparenia in 2 female patients, a retrograde ejaculation in a 60-year-old man, impotence in a 46 years old patient, and a premature ejaculation in a 36-year-old man. The frequency of sexual disturbances (47%) in our series was close to that reported in the literature (50%).
Conclusion: The sexual disorders are more common in male patients, the most frequent being ejaculatory dysfunction. In women, dyspareunia is the most common disorder. The particular case of colostomy in homosexuals remains a current issue.

This narrative review presents the main aspects of sex dimorphism in migraine prevalence and discusses the role of sex-related differences in mitochondrial homeostasis in that dimorphism. The gender dimension is also shortly addressed.

Article Synopsis
- Puberty presents unique challenges for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including increased vulnerability, safety concerns, and worsened mood and behavioral issues.
- Youth with ASD require targeted education on self-care, hygiene, sexual activity, and menstruation management, but healthcare providers often lack the preparation and confidence to meet these needs.
- A pilot project demonstrated that a brief educational intervention significantly improved family nurse practitioners’ self-reported knowledge and attitudes toward caring for individuals with ASD, highlighting the importance of incorporating such training in nursing education.
