Abstract 350P
Background
The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer involves changes in personal, family, social, professional and sexual relationships. In this study we assessed sexual satisfaction in patients with early breast cancer using the validated SEXSAT-Q scale.
Methods
We used the SEXSAT-Q quality of life questionnaire in 60 patients diagnosed with early breast cancer at our centre. Six dimensions were studied: 1. Loss of sexual desire. 2. Alteration of body image. 3. Psychological coping. 4. Discomfort during sexual intercourse. 5. Satisfaction during sexual intercourse. 6. Satisfaction with breast reconstruction. Data were collected in Medical Oncology Department during March 2023.
Results
A sample of 60 patients was selected, aged 26-72 years old, with a median age of 52 years, who had undergone breast cancer surgery, 73.33% by conservative surgery. 20% were premenopausal, 10% were perimenopausal and 70% were menopausal. 35% were being treated with chemotherapy, 56.67% with hormonoterapy and 8.33% with anti-HER2. 78.33% had a stable partner and did not use contraception. 30% of patients were quite or very sad and depressed since starting treatment. 50% of patients believe that the treatment has worsened their body image. 75% reported that during treatment their sexual relations were not satisfactory. 61.67% believe that their sexual desire has decreased and 45% admit having more problems reaching orgasm since diagnosis.
Conclusions
Women with curable breast cancer it is important to know the impact of diagnosis and treatment on the sexual sphere. The SEXSAT-Q questionnaire is a validated scale capable of measuring the sexual satisfaction of our patients.
