Description
Intimacy is essential to the Human experience. Unfortunately, the tolls of systemic steroids and the emotional and physical sequelae of surgical interventions in IBD can take a tremendous toll on sexual desire, libido and sexual health satisfaction in our Crohn's, Ulcerative colitis and Ostomate patients. This session will illustrate the various factors that contribute to body image dissatisfaction and sexual health impairment in IBD patients. Then, proactive management and multidisciplinary support resources will be provided so that every clinician can best direct patients to therapeutic support.
