ForwardWebinar: Current Urologic Management of Female Sexual Dysfunction (2020)
Course Director: Irwin Goldstein, MD
This course will teach the urologist and advanced practice provider the skills needed to better communicate with the female patient about her sexual health needs and better manage her sexual dysfunctions. The course will start with normal physiology and pathophysiology of the genitals including how to examine them under magnification in order to better understand sexual dysfunctions in women. Diagnostic tools and treatment strategies for the management of desire, arousal, orgasm and pain disorders including unusual arousal/orgasm issues such as persistent genital arousal disorder will be discussed.
Included in this course is an overview of to use the latest FDA approved drugs, off label options, devices such as CO2 fractional laser and surgical therapies. Women with distressing sexual health concerns should undergo biopsychosocial diagnostic evaluations to assess pathophysiology, starting with a history and physical with vulvoscopy. Risks and benefits of hormone therapy for pre- and post-menopausal women will be included, as well as information about neurologic issues affecting sexual function. Also discussed are risk factors for female sexual dysfunction and co-morbid conditions such as genitourinary syndrome of menopause, interstitial cystitis and sexual dysfunction, clitoral phimosis and previous genital surgeries including mid-urethral surgical slings. Women presenting with urologic concerns may, in fact, have sexual dysfunction as the primary issue.
