When our bodies are physically changed because of breast cancer, it has the real potential of affecting sexual health. There are multiple layers to look at when a person presents with sexual dysfunction. In other words, the natural process of the act of sex has been disrupted due to treatment, surgery, the emotional impact of cancer, and other considerations.
My guest on this episode of the DiepCJourney podcast is an expert in this field. I want to welcome Dr. Stacy Tessler Lindau, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Chicago Medicine.
Her Clinical Interests include Cancer Survivorship, Female Sexual Dysfunction, Female sexual function, Gynecologic Cancers, Integrated Women’s Health, and Medical Ethics.
I am pleased about our common connections and would like to mention that I am conducting this podcast because of being asked to help in gathering information on the Bionic Breast Study from patients in the community I serve. We are going to take an in-depth look at that program with Dr. Lindau today as part of the sexual concerns in women with cancer.
Dr. Lindau is also the Founding chair of the Scientific Network on female sexual health and cancer. She also created, Woman Lab, a platform where every woman – and everyone who loves and cares for women – can learn truths about sex.
On the podcast “The Curbsiders Internal Medicine,” Dr. Lindau tackles fully the problem of sexual health not being discussed among many physicians, no matter what discipline they specialize in.
