  • Abstract

    Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) has been associated with sexual health impairment, which includes both sexual distress, or negative emotions about sex, as well as sexual dysfunction, or the physical aspects of sexual activity. We sought to investigate gender differences in the impact of HS on sexual health as well as identify practice gaps in this field.
