Summary

This study looks at how chronic perianal conditions like fistulas and abscesses impact a person's sexual health and body image—something often overlooked by doctors. Researchers will survey 60 adults using questionnaires to measure these effects and identify gaps in communication. The goal is to help doctors provide more complete care that addresses both physical and emotional well-being.
