Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) can significantly impact patients' relationships. Methods: Using an anonymous electronic survey, we aimed to determine what aspects of sexual relationships are affected by HS discomfort and patients' reluctance to discuss HS with their partner. Results: Among the 873 participants, 60.9% reported that some aspect of their relationship was affected by HS discomfort, with the greatest being their sexual encounters with spouse (49.1%). 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. Conclusion: Addressing HS-related relationship disturbances should be included in HS management.
