Sexual Health Recovery For Prostate Cancer Survivors

Publish date:: May 10, 2019

Key clinical point: Current interventions related to sexual difficulties after prostate cancer care are being unmet to support the needs of prostate cancer survivors and their partners.

Major finding: Psychosexual interventions that prioritize mindfulness and acceptance-based frameworks may help men to tune into sensations and increase the potential for improvement to sexual satisfaction among prostate cancer survivors.

Study details: A literature review was performed to examine the prevalence of sexual difficulties after treatment and the efficacy of current pharmacologic and psychological treatment approaches.
