Supporting Sexual Recovery in Women With Bladder Cancer

This study looks at how bladder cancer and removing the bladder can affect women's sexual well-being. Bladder cancer can be more serious in women, and treatment like bladder removal can impact how they feel about themselves and their relationships. Women who've gone through this say it's important to talk about and get support for their sexual recovery. The study has three main parts. First, it reviews what is already known. Next, it involves talking to women with bladder cancer and the doctors and nurses who care for them. Finally, the team will use what they learn to create a toolkit to help healthcare workers support women's sexual recovery. Women with bladder cancer are helping to design this study. Their input shapes the questions and tools. The final toolkit will include training for doctors and nurses and be shared online and through charities. The aim is to make this part of regular healthcare.
