Description
Seven reviewers map sexual health problems among melanoma survivors in a 2026 paper. Sexual health feeds quality of life, yet melanoma care rarely raises it despite growing survivor numbers. The scoping review searched five databases for studies from 2010 to 2025 and kept ten.
Dysfunction touched up to fifty-two percent of patients in the kept studies. Rates ran higher in men, near sixty-nine percent, than in women, near forty-one percent. Drivers included visible scarring, hormone drops under immunotherapy, body image strain, anxiety, and depression. Women leaned toward image and recurrence worries; men toward treatment linked hormone loss. The authors warn the numbers rest on thin data and should not be stretched.
