Advances in effect of total hip arthroplasty on sexual life of patients / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Patients with hip osteoarthritis or other hip joint diseases suffer from pain, limited joint function and psychological disorder, which are responsible for difficulties in sexual life. Total hip arthroplasty can effectively relieve the pain of hip joint and improve the range of joint motion, thus improving the frequency and performance of sexual life of patients. Good quality of sexual life is related to the postoperative satisfaction of patients. However, patients can hardly get the correct guidance on this. After total hip arthroplasty, male patients are earlier to recover sexual life than female patients. The time of the most patients to recover sexual life is 1-3 months after surgery, and the safe position of sexual life is stand position. Sugerons should make positive and correct guidance for patients and their sexual partners about safe resumption of sexual life after total hip arthroplasty.
