Sexual Function and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction : A Guide for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals Paperback / softback

This book provides to nurses an understanding of female sexual function and dysfunction specifically in relation to common gynecological conditions.

It offers evidence based overview of assessment of sexual function, including available questionnaires and provides a multidisciplinary approach to managing sexual dysfunction, from incontinence to pelvic organ prolapse and recurrent urinary tract infections.

It also covers a holistic approach including over the counter and home treatments, psychological therapies, physical therapies, pharmacological options and if necessary more invasive interventions.

Sexual function and pelvic floor dysfunction is often a neglected area due to the taboo nature of discussions.

This book aims to educate nurses, to help them understand the types of treatment options available, and encourage them to engage in conversations about sexual function with women, so that they can be referred to appropriate healthprofessionals and access the right care.
