Abstract:
Women treated for gynecologic cancer represent approximately 45% of cancer survivors. Many report significant sexual difficulties during follow-up, and data suggest these difficulties are direct consequences of their cancer treatments. Health care providers can identify at the time of initial therapy those women who will be at greater risk for problem development. Clinical observations are provided on the development of sexual problems for these women as they attempt to resume sexual intercourse, and the psychologic and behavioral therapies that can be used for treatment are discussed.
