Let’s talk about sex.

Seriously, let's dive into an open chat about intimacy.

Chemopause, a side effect of certain treatments like chemotherapy or surgery, can make serious waves in your quality of life and negatively impact intimacy. It's a result of your ovaries taking an early retirement and hanging up the egg-production hat. If you've got dreams of a bigger family, make sure to have a heart-to-heart with your doctor about this.

Now, brace yourself. The common companions of menopause - think hot flashes, night sweats, an emotional roller coaster, and a foggy mind - often drop in uninvited after treatment.

As if that wasn't enough, you might find yourself battling fatigue, wrestling with your body image, and feeling like a stranger in your own skin. And yes, this can put a damper on your libido and lead to sexual challenges.

Oh, and let's not forget about vulvovaginal atrophy. Sounds scary, right? It's a condition caused by a dip in estrogen levels that can make intimacy uncomfortable, disrupt natural lubrication, increase the chances of injury and open the door for urinary tract infections.

And it's not just women. Men can experience similar symptoms after treatment with hormonal agents. But instead of atrophy and lubrication issues, they might deal with erectile dysfunction and incontinence in addition to the mood swings and hot flashes.

So, how does a survivor navigate all this?

Start with the basics: a healthy lifestyle can work wonders for both your overall and sexual health. Then, think outside the box. In our Exhausted to Empowered Program, we've dedicated an entire module to intimacy and sex.

We’ve also got a gift to help you choose the best approaches to treat the dryness for you.
