open access - pdf: Risk-Reducing Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy and Sexual Health: A Qualitative Study
Abstract
Objective: To examine the impact of risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (RRBSO) on sexual function in BRCA gene
mutation carriers, compared with the effect on women undergoing
BSO (bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) for benign indications from
a qualitative perspective.
Methods:
Our study included 25 women who had undergone either
a RRBSO because of BRCA carrier status or a BSO for a benign
gynaecologic indication. Women were invited to participate if they
were at least six months post-BSO. They took part in an individual,
private interview during which they were asked open-ended
questions about their sexual health in the context of undergoing
BSO......

abstract: Risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and sexual health: a qualitative study
Conclusion:
This study provided a nuanced view of sexual health in women following RRBSO that was not captured by self-report questionnaires. Women with preoperative knowledge of post-BSO sexual side effects report being more prepared for surgery, and experience less sexual distress following their BSO.
