Sexuality and intimacy following gynaecological cancer treatment

This enables ENGAGe members to have access to valuable content already existing at other members. ENGAGe endorsement states that ENGAGe is in full approval of the content of such brochures. Graphics of these brochures remain unchanged to original ones. For translations the same graphics will be used. ENGAGe member logo may be added on the front page. The translation process is the same as for ENGAGe original brochures.

 

 

Getting diagnosed with cancer and having treatment can affect your intimacy and sex life. But not everyone is affected in the same way. Various factors play a role, such as the extent of the cancer, the treatment(s) you are undergoing, the emotional strain, whether or not you are in a relationship, and if so, how good that relationship is, your age, your physical condition, how important sexuality is to you and within your relationship…

In this brochure we highlight some effects that are specific to the treatment of gynaecological cancer and that (can) have an impact on your sexuality.
