New survey aims to improve sexual health after breast cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT07234461
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study surveys 200 women who had a mastectomy (breast removal) with immediate reconstruction to understand their sexual well-being. The goal is to use this information to better prepare patients before surgery and to identify those who might benefit from specific treatments like pelvic floor therapy or local medications. The study does not test a new treatment but gathers data to improve quality of life.
