matode (ANDAR), Paris, France and lead author of the French study. "What is worrying is that patients are often reluctant to speak to their doctor about this, which means they continue to suffer both physically and emotionally. We encourage doctors to initiate conversations with patients to offer support to those that may benefit."

The results of a separate study of 125 Brazilian women, all of whom were receiving treatment for SLE (mean age 32 years, 52.8% of SLE group married vs 27.5% of controls) showed statistically significant differences between sexual activities reported between patients with SLE and healthy controls including: absence of sexual activity (31.2% vs. 12.5% respectively (p=<0.05)), absence of arousal during sex (58.4% vs. 17.5% (p=<0.05)) and absence of orgasm (67.2% vs. 22.5% respectively (p=<0.05)).
