This research study wants to understand how perianal diseases—chronic conditions affecting the area around the anus, such as fistulas, Crohn's disease, or pilonidal cysts—impact patients' sexual function, body image, and intimate relationships. Researchers will ask you to fill out questionnaires about your sexual health, how you feel about your body, and your overall quality of life. The goal is to help doctors better understand and address these sensitive, often-overlooked effects so they can provide more complete care to patients.
Doctors have traditionally focused on healing surgical wounds and preventing disease recurrence, but they often miss how these conditions deeply affect patients' emotional well-being, self-esteem, and intimate relationships. This study exists to shine a light on this 'hidden' burden so that future medical counseling and care can address not just physical healing, but also the emotional and sexual health aspects that matter greatly to patients.

You will visit the proctology clinic once and complete a single assessment session. During this visit, you will answer questions about your age, medical history, and disease details, then fill out standardized questionnaires about sexual function and a custom survey about body image, anxiety, and how your condition affects your daily life and intimacy. The entire process is observational—no new treatments or procedures are involved, and your standard medical care will not change.
