Sexual function after surgery for anal conditions
Part of Digestive system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how surgery for common anal conditions (like hemorrhoids or anal fissures) might affect sexual function in women. It aims to see if there are changes after surgery, which can help doctors better inform their patients.
