Understanding Desire & Arousal After Cancer

Consider reaching out to your healthcare team if:

  • Desire has changed and it bothers you
  • Intimacy feels stressful or painful
  • You feel distressed, sad, or disconnected
  • You want to explore treatment options
  • You’d like help understanding what’s happening in your body

You can say:

“I’ve noticed changes in my desire since treatment, and I’d like to talk about what might help.”
