Love & Endometriosis

For this podcast, I wanted to address the subject of love and sexuality in the context of endometriosis (or dyspareunias more generally – pain felt during intercourse).

Indeed, the disease, apart from the pains associated with it, but also medical appointments, treatments, etc. inevitably cause a decrease in desire. To talk about it, I chose to invite Céline Dessaigne, sex therapist in Lyon, who notably supports patients within the “Endomaîtrise network”. This network, located in the region of Lyon (France), offers a multimodal patient monitoring program (gynecology, sophrology, couples therapy, sex therapy, etc.).

Thus, I was interested in sharing with you her expertise, her advices and her vision. How to find a normal life as a couple? How to adapt your sexuality? How to tell to our partner? How can he has his place in this path?

We approach the discussion with kindness and seriousness. A topic which is unfortunately still too taboo.
