Abstract

The objective of this systematic review was to summarize the changes in sexual function in cervical cancer survivors. The additional objective was to exhibit the role of sexual communication in adapting to these changes. A systematic search was performed across four electronic databases. Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria. The most common sexual dysfunction was pain during sexual intercourse, vaginal dryness, decreased level of satisfaction and sexual interest. Some changes in vaginal anatomy and effects on psychosocial functioning were described. We confirmed that sexual communication with healthcare professionals and partners may be essential to help improve sexuality in CC survivors.
