Assessment of Sexual Dysfunction and Sexually Related Personal Distress in Patients Who Have Undergone Orthotopic Liver Transplantation for End‐stage Liver Disease

The IIEF, FSFI, and SDS‐R results demonstrate that men and women who undergo OLT do exhibit mild to moderate SD. Their distress, though, is also mild to moderate, as evidenced by a high rate of continued sexual activity after OLT. Therefore, although SD may be widely prevalent in people who undergo OLT, aggressive intervention may not be warranted so long as the level of sexual distress remains low.
