Sexual Health in Cancer Survivors - Empowering survivHERS with Knowledge - Laila Agrawal, MD, IF

Sexual health changes after cancer are real, common, and — more often than not — completely treatable. Yet most survivors are never asked about them. In this survivHERS session, Dr. Laila Agrawal, breast oncologist and sexual health advocate, is changing that conversation. She'll walk you through what cancer treatment can do to your sexual health, why it happens, and what you can actually do about it — from vaginal dryness and pain with sex to low libido and changes in intimacy and body image. Whether you're newly diagnosed, mid-treatment, or years into survivorship, this session will give you the language, the knowledge, and the confidence to advocate for your own sexual wellbeing. You deserve to feel like yourself again — and this conversation is where that starts.

Laila Agrawal, MD, IF, is a board-certified medical oncologist specializing in breast cancer at Norton Cancer Institute in Louisville, Kentucky, and one of the country's most passionate advocates for sexual health in cancer survivors. She runs a dedicated sexual health clinic for women diagnosed with cancer — one of the few of its kind — and is a Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health. Dr. Agrawal serves on the Board of Directors of the Scientific Network on Female Sexual Health and Cancer and is an active researcher and author on the topic, with publications in leading oncology journals, including the Journal of Clinical Oncology and ASCO Educational Books. She believes every woman diagnosed with cancer deserves to have her sexual health taken seriously — and she's on a mission to make sure that happens.
