Abstract

The systematic review and study has generated a number of themes for discussion. These are as follows:

  • Reasons for lack of psychosexual care available

  • Gender related issues/age related issues/ethnic minority issues

  • Lack of national standards for psychosexual care/early access to therapy

  • No standardised pathway for follow-up of psychosexual care/limited access to psychosexual care

  • Lack of therapy for emotional and sexual concerns including counselling and medical therapy or devices

  • Post-operative problems for which specialist care is required

  • Requirement for explanation on side effects of surgery
