It has been over 4 years since the #gyncsm community chatted about pelvic health, which is one of our highly requested topics. We are so happy to welcome Jocelyn Fitzgerald, MD (@jfitzgeraldMD) and Theresa Feeley, PT, DPT, PRPC (@drtpelvichealth) as our guests on this month's #gyncsm chat on Urogynecology and Pelvic Health.

We know surgery and other cancer treatments can adversely affect the pelvic health of those diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer. Join us on May 10th at 8pm ET (7pm CT, 5pm PT) as we learn how a urogyneocologist and a pelvic floor physical therapist can help improve pelvic health.
Here are the topic questions that will guide our chat.
T1: What is pelvic health and how can it be impacted by gynecologic cancer treatments?
T2: What role does a urogynecologist play in the care of those diagnosed with a gyn cancer?
T3: What options are there for alleviating pelvic pain? What has been your experience with pelvic pain?
T4: How does pelvic health impact intimacy and sexual health? What are tips and resources to maintain intimacy and sexuality after gyn cancer?
T5: What is pelvic floor physical therapy? How are patients evaluated for the need?
T6: What are some pelvic health resources for those impacted by cancer-related diagnoses? What have you found helpful?
We look forward seeing you at 8pm on May 10th.
