How can sexual health issues be treated?
The Women’s Incontinence and Sexual Health Program treats the whole woman — body and mind. If appropriate, a woman’s partner is included in treatment. Staff members evaluate physical and psychological causes of sexual health issues. An initial evaluation will also rule out a more serious disease that could contribute to a sexual health problem. Treatments may include lifestyle changes (diet, exercise and alcohol use), treating an underlying medical or hormonal condition, medication and counseling to address emotional and relationship issues.
