This project will determine the incidence of sexual dysfunction in patients with chronic liver disease, through questionnaires. The questionnaires have been designed to assess several facets of sexual health, e.g. libido, physical symptoms, depression, etc. 150 patients in our liver outpatient department, and 150 healthy volunteers will be asked to fill in the questionnaire in paper form. The results of this project will be used to produce patient resources, advice sheets and educational materials for patients with chronic liver disease. There is also scope to consider possible interventions in the future to improve sexual dysfunction in patients with chronic liver disease.
