Résumé

The goal of our study was to assess the sexual functioning of patients undergoing mastectomy, five years after surgery, compared to a control group. A cross-sectional study included 170 patients five years post mastectomy (group A1) and 149 healthy women (group A2) who had never been diagnosed with breast cancer. The study was conducted at the Oncology Centre in Bydgoszcz, at the Amazon Clubs, and at the University of the Third Age by the University of Economy in Bydgoszcz. Standardised questionnaires: the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and Rosenberg's SES (self-esteem scale) were used. Our study results show significantly worse sexual functioning in the domains pertaining to desire ( Diagnosis of sexual dysfunction in patients treated for breast cancer allows timely implementation of counselling and interventional therapy depending on the causal factors and individual preferences of patients.
