Today there was an excellent webinar/group discussion in the "Let's Talk about it: Uterine Cancer" series called "Sex and Intimacy" that was not recorded, but there was interest in continuing the discussion. Lisa Donley-Lanyi, MFT led the presentation and answered questions.

A separate post will list programs and articles about sexual recovery.Note: When you link to links on this site, your browser will take you out of this platform.

Vaginal lubricants are for sexual contact. MUST BE VETTED BY YOUR DOCTORS.
On my own list: Gennev - lubricant and moisturizer
Dialators -A vaginal dilator is a medical device that is often prescribed to help women with sexual pain syndromes. The dilator can help decrease anxiety and pain associated with sexual intercourse.
