How does bladder cancer and its treatments impact sexuality and intimacy among female patients and their partners?
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
Background
Bladder cancer is one of the top ten cancers in the UK. This cancer is broadly categorised into muscle invasive and non-muscle invasive. While treatments for each are significantly different, the consequences of treatment for both types can be considerable for urinary and sexual function.
Research into the sexual consequences of bladder cancer for female patients is limited.
Aim of this research
This study aims to understand the sexual consequences of bladder cancer along with needs for sexual recovery in female patients.
The research also aims to develop an in-depth understanding of what it means to female patients to live with the sexual consequences of bladder cancer. The findings of the study will influence the development of a clinical intervention to address the sexual recovery and integrate this in to clinical practice.
How can you get involved?
We would love to hear from you.
Please take some time to look at this page
If you are a female bladder cancer patient or survivor or the partner of a patient, please take a moment to let us know your thoughts and ideas on the ideas tab below
If you feel able to, please answer the questions in the survey below. You will need to register first.
We will be running a Patient and Public Involvement event soon - details will appear on this page - if you are keen to be invited, please email me directly, at[email protected]
If you are on Twitter please flag this page and tweet with #womensbladdercancer.
A huge thank you to all those who have contributed to the project so far (for example in the below forum which is now closed). Your input has helped to design the initial part of the study protocol. I look forward to your further input as the project evolves. If you are interested in direct participation into our Stakeholder group, please email me, at [email protected]
