Gynecological cancer and its treatments are often associated with physical, psychological and social consequences that affect the woman's and the couple's sexuality. Especially due to their impact on sexuality, physical changes distress the women considerably, and warrant consideration for women of all ages. Women with gynecological cancer ask for information about possible side-effects of the disease and treatment that can affect the sexual function. At follow-up visits these issues can be attended to through information, with specific suggestions including advice about topical estrogen and dilators, to alleviate possible long-term sequelae.
