Sexual Dysfunction in Partner of Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis
Keywords
Abstract
Description
There are many studies in the literature that determine sexual satisfaction and sexual dysfunction in individuals with AS and compare individuals with AS to healthy individuals . In the light of these studies, the investigators thought that the sexual function of partner of individuals with AS may also be affected negatively. In the literature, no previous study examines the sexual function of partner of individuals with AS. Therefore, the aim was to determine the sexual function of partner of individuals with AS and to compare with healthly adults of the same sex.
