Gynecological cancers

1. While the sexual consequences of gynecological
cancers vary according to the treatment needed,
dyspareunia is more common among women who
have radiation than surgical interventions.6
2. Vaginal dilators may be used for women
experiencing dyspareunia following radiation
treatment or surgical interventions. Use of the
dilator two or three times a week may reduce
anxiety about pain and enable the woman to
resume sexual activity more comfortably and
experience penetration without pain.7
3. Different positions may be used so that the couple
can find the better ones for themselves.
