There is no doubt that every woman will experience changes to her sexual health after a breast cancer diagnosis to varying levels. Perhaps you've gone through medically induced menopause unexpectedly and are no longer sure of how to navigate your intimate life. Were your breasts important for your arousal or orgasm? Has your libido has disappeared without notice? Are you having painful intercourse and don't understand how to fix it? (HINT: It might NOT be about lube!) You need to know you're not alone!

In 2017, I couldn't understand why I hadn't been "warned" about the intimacy issues I would face after a breast cancer diagnosis, but I knew there MUST be answers! Because of the personal issues I faced in my intimate life, I started the private Facebook support group, Sex After Breast Cancer. Since that time, I've developed a Contributing Expert Team to provide us with the information we need. Thousands of women have been helped through our beautiful support group.

Recently I had a very frank discussion about sexual health with one of our Contributing Experts, Dr. Lyndsey Harper, OB/GYN. Dr. Harper is the founder and CEO of Rosy, an award-winning women’s health technology company that connects women who have sexual health concerns with hope, community, and research-backed solutions. Our conversation covered a wide range of issues from lack of libido to painful sex to the use of vaginal estrogen and much more. I think you'll enjoy our discussion.

After listening, I want to encourage you to download the Rosy - Sexual Health for Women app on your mobile device. We are grateful that Dr. Harper has provided our Hope After Breast Cancer community with a special offer. Use the promo code HOPE at meetrosy.com/promo to redeem a 1-Month Subscription to the Rosy Silver Membership! The offer is only good for new subscribers and is only available in the US and Canada. THANK YOU, Rosy!
