What to do about Intimacy and Sex with a Cancer Diagnosis

  • Associates of Integrative Medicine 43097 woodward ave, STE 101 Bloomfield United States (map)

Join us on Thursday, October 7th at 4 pm to talk about Sex (and Cancer...)!

This discussion will focus on an aspect of treatment and survivorship that isn't often discussed: Resuming healthy and fun intimacy during and after cancer treatment.

Sexual function problems can include: erectile dysfunction, incontinence, vaginal dryness, changes in vaginal discharge and odor, rectal changes, colitis and rectal pain, surgical constraints and ostomy issues, anticipatory anxiety, changes in desire, emotional comfort, body image, implant concerns and pain. And all of these are all things that can come up with treatment. 

Loss of intimacy is something that our doctors rarely talk to us about and it's a topic that can be hard for us even to bring up with our partners. But sexual intimacy and a sense of comfort in our own skin, is an important part of being overall, well.

Join us as Dr. Roy speaks on these sensitive issues with frank informational tips on how to get back to a place of joy and comfort in your sex life and recover optimal health during and after treatment. This talk is appropriate whether you are single or partnered as good health is important in either case.
