Description
Menopause can affect mood, sleep, identity, sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, lubrication, genital comfort, urinary function, pelvic floor tone, and relationship dynamics. This 3-hour online seminar provides clinicians with an integrated biopsychosocial framework for understanding menopause-related sexual concerns, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, dyspareunia, pelvic floor dysfunction, body image changes, and relational distress. The seminar combines sex therapy concepts with pelvic physical therapy principles so clinicians can screen more effectively, communicate more comfortably, and collaborate across disciplines.
