Plain-language summary
Sexual dysfunction \[SD\] is a significant health burden characterized by a disturbance in sexual desire and psychophysiological changes in the sexual response cycle, resulting in marked distress and interpersonal difficulty (4). As known, both SD and depression are interrelated, so, depression may be an important determinant of sexual functioning in patients with IBD(5).
