Women’s Sexual Health Consultation Service
Women’s sexual health is an important and often ignored aspect of wellness across the life span. Many women experience sexual issues for years with limited guidance from their healthcare team, and often do not know where to turn for consultation and treatment. These concerns may include changes in sexual desire, pain with intimate activities, and a range of other challenges impacting sexual well-being.
While there are many products, procedures and services available that claim to cure sexual problems, few deliver consistent results. As an evidence-based, multidisciplinary, women’s sexual health consultation service, we know that addressing sexual satisfaction is often complex and involves several aspects of a woman’s life.
At CU Anschutz, our evaluations include the assessment of physical conditions, medication use, relationship health, emotional well-being, current and prior trauma, knowledge and understanding of sexuality and sexual health, and other issues that are important to our patients. Many women do best when they receive multidisciplinary care that may include specialists from OB-GYN, clinical health psychology, psychiatry, urogynecology, primary care, oncology, physical therapy, and other health providers.
