摘要
To study the effect of vitiligo on interference with sexual relationships, we surveyed 158 patients by questionnaire. Although a majority of patients reported a negative impact on sexual relationships, most patients felt embarrassment when showing their body or meeting strangers. The majority of patients who reported a negative impact on sexual relationships attributed the problems to their embarrassment. Those who were particularly affected were those with low self-esteem, men, those to whom appearance is important, and single persons. Dermatologists should be especially alert to the effects of disfigurement and should, attempt to assist patients with this problem. © 1990, American Academy of Dermatology, Inc.. All rights reserved.
