Women’s Healthcast: Health and Aging: Let’s Talk About Sex, Part 1, featuring Jon Pennycuff, MD, MSPH and Javier Santiago, MD

For the next few months, the Women’s Healthcast will dive into all aspects of aging and women’s health, through conversations with experts in the UW Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and beyond.

A lot about our lives can change as we get older, and that includes our sex lives. Two guest experts joined this episode of the Women’s Healthcast to talk about some of the physical changes related to age that can impact sexual function – and to tear down the myth that sex and aging aren’t compatible.  

Jon Pennycuff, MD, MSPH, is an assistant professor in the Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery. Javier Santiago, MD, is an assistant professor in the UW School of Medicine and Public Health Department of Urology. They talked about common changes in sexual function for female and male bodies, as well as their recommendations for improving sexual health.
