Sexual distress in patients after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer: a qualitative study

The sexual life of patients after radical cystectomy faces multiple problems, which suggests that healthcare professionals should pay attention to the sexual health needs of patients, including partners in the rehabilitation process, and work together with sex therapists and psychological counselors to formulate individualized sexual rehabilitation programs to improve the quality of their sexual lives. Therefore, screening for sexual problems and providing counseling services for patients after radical cystectomy care planning are recommended.
