Читать книгу The Lovin' Ain't Over for Women with Cancer - Ralph Alterowitz - Страница 16

Cancer does not usually cause sexual problems—treatment does. Sexuality-related problems after cancer therapy are very common. The short- and long-term side effects of cancer therapy are now more fully appreciated, thanks in large part to mental health professionals such as Leslie Schover, PhD, and Les Gallo-Silver. Their work has called attention to the higher incidence of sexual disorders due to cancer therapy. Their studies and others show that many women need help, and that they have a good chance of returning to their desired level of sexuality if they receive sexual counseling during and after their cancer therapy.
