Abstract
The impacts that breast cancer surgery has on
the female patient were evaluated. The two categories used in breast cancer
treatment, such as breast-conserving surgery and breast replacement by
employing mastectomy, were discussed. A total of 80 participants were involved
in the study. Diagnosis of breast cancer seems to have harmful psychological
effects on the patient. Although the breast cancer treatment process chosen,
either mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery has a crucial role in
self-esteem and sexual issues. The various studies by several researchers are
also covered concerning impacts of the breast cancer. The critical role of this
paper is to discuss the impacts of post-surgery on sexual quality of life, body
image, self-esteem, and level of depression experienced. The study was
conducted at KVG Medical College and Hospital Sullia; certain criteria followed
in the study process were also highlighted accordingly. Elaborations on various
techniques used in the study were also discussed.
