Sex therapy

For most women and half of men, pregnancy brings with it problems with desire, as well as physical and psychological changes that can have an impact on intimacy and/or sexuality. The sex therapist meets hospital patients and presents them with indications for individual or couple follow-up: concerns or difficulties with sexuality, sexual dysfunctions encountered.

Treatment focuses on getting to know your body and understanding the mechanisms that define sexuality. Patients can book an appointment up to 1 year after giving birth. ‘Offering this service to all women is a way of providing information, talking about sexual problems without taboos, and freeing up people to talk about sexual violence’.
