First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether sexual counseling delivered via WhatsApp can help breast cancer survivors who have sexual problems after treatment. About 86 women who have had mastectomy and finished chemo/radiotherapy will receive counseling using the EX-PLISSIT model. The goal is to see if this approach improves sexual function and reduces sexual distress.
