This study explored the sexual and reproductive health of women who live with IBD in Australia using an online survey and interviews (March–November 2024). Survey responses from 64 women and qualitative data from 14 interviews highlighted menstrual changes, misinformation received regarding fertility, and the impact of IBD on women’s sexuality. Findings from this study highlight the need to ensure discussions about sexuality are more actively incorporated into clinical care for women with IBD.© 2026 The Author(s).
