Disparities in Women's Sexual Health: Your Questions Answered

PROGRAM DETAILS:

Broadcasting from the annual women’s health event in New York City, hosted by The Women’s Sexual Health Foundation, Patient Power explores women’s sexual health issues with renowned experts from a multidisciplinary perspective with the goal of encouraging healthy dialogues about sexual health concerns among women and their healthcare providers. In a series of three live webcasts, experts Teresa Goetz, Dr. Hilda Hutcherson, and Dr. Amy Stein, explore menopausal issues, pelvic pain suffering relief and keys to managing your sexual health.

This intense dialogue begins with Teresa Goetz director of healthybeing, a wellness center offering acupuncture, Chinese herbology, massage therapy, and other alternative modalities. Ms. Goetz talks about symptoms of menopause and how acupuncture and Chinese medicine assist in balancing hormone fluctuation. She also speaks about intimacy after menopause and how to maintain a healthy sex life after major transitional phases in a woman’s life. Dr. Hilda Hutcherson joins the discussion to bring added clarity to a topic that few associate with overall health, SEX. Dr. Hutcherson, a renowned gynecologist at Columbia University Medical Center speaks candidly about the 43% of women who are dissatisfied with their sex lives and remain silent about it. She also speaks in detail about the surprising benefits of a healthy sex life that include stronger hearts and how it helps to decrease overall stress, anxiety and depression.

Finally, Dr. Amy Stein joins the dialogue to speak about pelvic pain and physical therapy as a helpful treatment. Dr. Stein is founder of Beyond Basics Physical Therapy and specializes in pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic pain, and holistic approaches to each patient’s entire well-being. She talks about how many women will experience pelvic pain at one time or another in life, and if unmanaged, how pelvic floor dysfunction can disrupt bladder, bowel, and sexual function. Dr. Stein explains how kegel exercises can help with incontinence and painful sexual intercourse. If you are interested in learning more about menopausal changes, how to have a healthy sex life and many other pressing questions about women’s health, this program has a wealth of information.
