Furthermore, 43.0% (320) of participants reported feeling reluctant to discuss HS with their spouse\/significant other, with the more common reason being fear of partner seeing boils and scars (84.7%). Multiple aspects of relationships can be affected by HS such as sexual encounters, overall relationship, and finding a relationship. Additionally, several communication barriers are present, such as fear of partner seeing boils and scars, partner thinking they had an infection such as a sexually transmitted disease, and fear of bloody or malodorous drainage, among others. The presence of anogenital pain, Hurley stage, gender, and age significantly affect these findings. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Addressing HS-related relationship disturbances should be included in HS management. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000525131","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,24]],"date-time":"2022-06-24T07:45:37Z","timestamp":1656056737000},"page":"448-453","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Relationship Disturbances in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Patient Perspective"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Alyssa M.","family":"Thompson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan W.","family":"Rick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4921-2066","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Devea R.","family":"De","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer M.","family":"Fernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2732-6492","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Melody","family":"Maarouf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Justine R.","family":"Seivright","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8843-3630","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jennifer L.","family":"Hsiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7510-9428","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vivian Y.","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm8040532"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2340\/00015555-3464"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.16255"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijwd.2017.10.007"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2011.10.024"}],"container-title":["Skin Appendage Disorders"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/525131","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/525131","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T15:01:12Z","timestamp":1745420472000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000525131"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"references-count":5,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,3]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,7]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000525131","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2296-9195","2296-9160"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2296-9195","type":"print"},{"value":"2296-9160","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022]]}}}
