Aims and Objectives
|
Our understanding of pelvic floor disorders has expanded in the last few decades. This progress has led to the development of conservative treatment options. Sexual dysfunction, however, has not received as much attention, leaving women and men with limited evidence-based treatment options, particularly for those affected by pain and pelvic floor disorders. This workshop will present recent evidence and treatment approaches related to sexual dysfunction in women and men so clinicians can use this knowledge to upscale their clinical practice.
Learning Objectives - To discuss the principal mechanisms involved in female and male sexual function, and to understand the impact of common pelvic floor disorders, including pain, on sexual function.
- To discuss conservative treatment approaches to optimize sexual function.
- To integrate a psychosocial approach to treating sexual dysfunction.
