Abstract:
Breast cancer patients commonly present to their OBGYN during the process of diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer both for specific gynecologic needs and for primary care follow up. These patients require counseling on contraception, hormone use, and fertility at diagnosis. During treatment and survivorship, patients will face a variety of side effects from treatments leading to vasomotor symptoms, vulvovaginal discomfort, sexual dysfunction, osteoporosis, and vaginal bleeding. This chapters aims to enlighten providers on the unique range of issues a gynecologist may face when caring for breast cancer patients.
