Love & Endometriosis

For this podcast, I discussed with Céline Dessaigne, psychologist, who followed women suffering from endometriosis. We talked about love, sex and endometriosis and how couples can find a normal life despite the pain associated with the disease.

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.
