GALLACH, E. et al. Sex and pain: sexual satisfaction and sexual function in a sample of patients with non-pelvic benign chronic pain. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.3, pp.145-154. ISSN 1134-8046. https://dx.doi.org/10.20986/resed.2018.3600/2017.
Introduction:
Most of research are conclusive when stating chronic pain and decreased life's quality relationship. However, sexual factor is not usually analysed in a specific path.
Desing and methods:
The aim of this study is to undertake a bibliographic review divided by analgesic groups in order to determine in a certain way the painkiller influence over the sexual response, and in a second place, to describe the connection between pain and sexual response in not-oncological chronic pain patients.
Results:
Results show that there is a high prevalence of sexual difficulties in patients of the Pain Units. These difficulties are related to psychological alterations, patients' type of pain and age.
Conclusions:
These results suggest that a multidisciplinary intervention, centred on the exhaustive evaluation of this problem, health education and sexual counselling, could contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of our patients.
