Abstract | Purpose: This study aimed to report changes in sexual activity and related difficulties and concerns among Indian patients at the end of 1-year after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Materials and methods: A detailed questionnaire related to sexual difficulty, frequency, position, satisfaction, stress, and concerns pre- and postoperatively was administered through an in-person interview at 1-year post-THA. Results: Preoperatively, 77% of patients reported difficulties in sexual activities, which reduced significantly (p < 0.0001) to 30% at the end of 1-year post-operatively. A majority of patients reported no change in the frequency (56.5%) or satisfaction with their sexual activity (54%), and moderate to severe stress (53%) related to sexual activity at 1 year postoperatively. A significantly higher percentage (p = 0.01) of female patients (63%) reported changing their coital position postoperatively due to difficulty in leg positioning when compared to male patients (37.5%). Most patients (69%) were not able to procure information on sexual activity after THA surgery. and only 17.5% of patients discussed the topic with their surgeon. Conclusion: Although THA significantly reduced difficulty in sexual activity, most patients reported no change in the frequency of sexual activity or sexual satisfaction, had moderate to severe stress regarding sex, and were primarily concerned about safety of coital position and fear of dislocation at the end of 1-year postoperatively. Pre- and postoperative counselling by their surgeons will provide the patient with relevant information and help reduce anxiety and stress, improve satisfaction, and enhance the overall sexual health of the patient undergoing primary THA. |
