Tulane Health System is offering a pair of free community education sessions on the topic of female sexual health. Presented by nationally recognized experts Drs. Sue and Irwin Goldstein, the talks – open to women only – explore a variety of topics many women are uncomfortable discussing with healthcare providers, despite there often being medical interventions that can improve sexual health and quality of life.

“There is a great deal of discussion around men’s sexual health, especially after the proliferation of Viagra and similar medications,” said Dr. Raju Thomas, a urologist with Tulane Urology, which is hosting the physicians for both the public education sessions and training opportunities with physicians and medical students at Tulane Medical Center. “But there are several aspects to women’s sexual health that people seem reticent to address. We want to change that and help people live more satisfying, happier lives.”

Topics discussed will include FDA-approved medications for female low libido, menopause survival strategies, birth control and your body, women’s sexual health FAQs, dealing with dysfunction, how to spice it up in the bedroom and more.

The talks will be offered at two convenient locations and times. The first is offered at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 14, at Lakeside Hospital for Women and Children in Metairie. The second is offered at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 15, at Tulane Medical Center in downtown New Orleans. Light refreshments will be served, and free valet parking is available for both sessions.

Drs. Sue and Irwin Goldstein operate San Diego Sexual Medicine, where they lead national treatment and research efforts on sexual health. They have been featured by numerous national media outlets and often provide free education seminars when traveling the country.

Seating is limited, and registration is required. This is a ladies-only event. Register online at Tulane Lakeside or by calling (504) 249-7675.
