Geriatric Sex Ed: Supporting Sexual Health in the Later Years
Featured Review
Description
Sexual activity is alive and well, even in your geriatric patients. This talk will help educate providers on how to gracefully discuss sex with older patients of all orientations, as well as address age-specific issues.
Incidence of sexually transmitted infections are rapidly rising in older patients, as is use of medications such as Viagra. Learn how to help your patients navigate new sexual relationships, safer sex, and be mindful of what medications and/or health conditions might require modification of common sexual activity. Naturopathic Doctors are great at developing trust in their professional care, so are often the only provider that a patient may feel comfortable in broaching sensitive topics such as sexuality.
Learning Objectives
- Understand changes in sexual health in all genders
- Understand how to approach and treat decreased libido in all genders
- Understand therapeutic options for vaginal atrophy and erectile dysfunction
- Understand how to talk to older patients about sex to help them be more comfortable
