A European study found that sexual dysfunction was present in over one-third of RA patients, both men and women.
The dysfunctions included lack of libido, painful intercourse, orgasmic dysfunction, premature ejaculation and non-satisfactory sex life. Although many factors may influence the prevalence and worsening of these sexual disturbances, the relationship between having the sexual disturbance and RA disease was not found to be significant.
However, the relationship lies between the being sexually active and the presence of disease activity. The study explored three factors, precipitation, predisposing and maintenance that may influence the prevalence and worsening of sexual disturbance in RA patients. Precipitating factors included infidelity, insecurity in a sexual role, and biological or physical causes. Predisposing factors in women and men were related to image changes, infidelity, anxiety, loss of attraction and biological causes. Maintenance factors included included biological causes, infidelity, general alteration of the couple’s relationship, partner’s sexual dysfunction, and depression/anxiety.
