Especially for Health Care Professionals

 

As health care professionals, we know that health and sexuality are inextricably linked. Yet, patients rarely ask for help when problems are related to sexuality.  Patients want physicians to bring up the problems.  In this context, the resources below are for your use as a health care professional.
