Résumé
Atopic dermatitis is a prevalent skin condition that
affects up to 17% of adult population. It can lead
to itching, pain, and other symptoms such as sleep
disturbance, anxiety, and depression. Due to its high
prevalence and limiting symptoms, atopic dermatitis
often has a great impact on patients’ quality of life but
there is scarce information regarding how atopic dermatitis
affects women’s sexual health and reproductive
desires. The purpose of this article was to assess
the impact of atopic dermatitis on sexual function and
reproductive wishes in women. A cross-sectional study
was conducted from February to March 2022. A total of
102 women with atopic dermatitis were recruited through
online questionnaires sent through the Spanish
Atopic Dermatitis Association; 68.6% of the patients
acknowledged impairment in sexual function, especially
those with more severe disease and those with
genital and gluteal involvement. In addition, 51% of
the women considered that atopic dermatitis may have
an influence on their gestational desire, particularly
those with gluteal involvement. In conclusion, atopic
dermatitis has a great impact on sexual function and
reproductive desires in women.
