Sexual Health
Breaking the Silence
In ENGAGe, we recognize the importance of the topic of sexual health and intimacy and aim to raise awareness while breaking the taboos that still exist around it in many countries.
Sexual health has been neglected in medical settings for too long, leaving patients to navigate their challenges alone. We believe it's time to break the silence and foster open discussions—as there is nothing shameful about this topic!
More Than Just the Physical
Sexuality is an essential part of being human. It’s deeply connected to our identity, emotions, and relationships.
For many people affected by gynaecological cancer, treatments can bring changes that affect intimacy, body image, and confidence.
These may include physical changes — such as dryness, pain, or early menopause — but also emotional ones: fear, loss of desire, or feeling disconnected from one’s body.
Holistic Approach
At ENGAGe, we believe every woman deserves to feel whole and supported — not only in surviving cancer but in truly living after it.
Taking a holistic approach means caring for the body, mind, and emotions together.
Talking about sexual health helps patients, partners, and healthcare providers find understanding, practical solutions, and renewed confidence.

So far, ENGAGe has developed three informative brochures and hosted two webinars on sexual health and intimacy after gynaecological cancer.
These resources offer practical advice, expert insights, and real experiences from women who have faced similar challenges.
They are designed to help you understand the changes you may encounter, find ways to manage them, and rediscover confidence and connection along your own pathway.
