Abstract

Purpose of review: This review details the pathophysiologic mechanisms from medical, surgical to psychosocial factors that illustrate how and why sexual health and intimacy are impacted in IBD.

Recent findings: Recent clinical surveys of practicing gastroenterologists document that clinicians should routinely address sexual health when addressing patient reported outcomes but very few actually make direct inquiry or suggest management into this important aspect of human life. Example 'patter' are suggested to clinicians to demonstrate how to introduce the subject of sexual intimacy and well-being and engender patient trust on this sensitive topic. Once specific symptomatology are elicited, then a review follows on how referral to a cadre of available multidisciplinary specialists can help directly manage the patient's concerns. Specific emphasis on addressing the sexual health in ostomate and sexual and gender minority populations is focused upon as well. Overall, this in depth review highlights a practical clinical approach to understanding how to address sexual wellbeing and human intimacy in IBD patients.

探讨影响IBD患者性健康和亲密关系的因素。

综述目的：本文详细介绍了IBD的病理生理机制，从医学、外科到社会心理因素，说明了性健康和亲密关系如何以及为什么受到IBD的影响。最近的发现：最近对执业胃肠病学家的临床调查表明，临床医生在处理患者报告的结果时应该常规地处理性健康问题，但很少有人真正对人类生活的这一重要方面进行直接询问或提出管理建议。示例“模式”被建议给临床医生演示如何引入性亲密和幸福的主题，并在这个敏感的话题上产生患者的信任。一旦确定了具体的症状，就需要回顾一下如何将患者转诊给多学科专家，以帮助直接处理患者的问题。此外，还特别强调解决口腔和性少数群体和性别少数群体的性健康问题。总的来说，这篇深入的综述强调了一种实用的临床方法来理解如何解决IBD患者的性健康和人类亲密关系。

期刊介绍： As the field of gastroenterology and hepatology rapidly evolves, the wealth of published literature can be overwhelming. The aim of the journal is to help readers stay abreast of such advances by offering authoritative, systematic reviews by leading experts. We accomplish this aim by appointing Section Editors who invite international experts to contribute review articles that highlight recent developments and important papers published in the past year. Major topics in gastroenterology are covered, including pediatric gastroenterology, neuromuscular disorders, infections, nutrition, and inflammatory bowel disease. These reviews provide clear, insightful summaries of expert perspectives relevant to clinical practice. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
