A Study to Prevent and Improve Sexual Health Concerns for People With Breast Cancer
Randomized Pilot Prevention Trial to Improve Sexual and Vulvovaginal Health Concerns in Premenopausal Female Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Ovarian Suppression
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
50 participants
Jun 1, 2023
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Researchers are doing this study to look at whether sexual health counselling and using non-hormonal moisturizer at the start of ovarian suppression may be able to prevent or reduce side effects such as vaginal dryness and sexual dysfunction. Researchers will compare how effective this prevention intervention works compared to the usual approach, which is to treat these side effects after they start. All participants will also complete surveys about their sexual health. This information will help researchers learn more about the sexual health of women with breast cancer receiving ovarian suppression.
