Sexual health after a cancer diagnosis is complex and it’s not enough to purely address our physical symptoms. The brilliant medical oncologist Dr. Laila Agrawal from the US, joins us for this episode where we embark on understanding the complexity of emotional, physical and social changes that affect our sex lives.
And of course, we talk about what your options are and why we need to create the book club we never knew we needed!
We talk:
Zero libido
Body confidence
How to treat symptoms
Vaginal oestrogen after breast cancer - new guidance
Sexy stories
And so much more.
