She was one of the Convenor of the Workshop on Female Sexual Disorders along with Dr Sara Shihab ( Internist Mayo US ) and Dr Sandhya Saharan (Gynaecologist from Mumbai).
Dr Sudhaa moderated the Panel and was also one of the expert panelists in another session. She highlighted that Female Sexual Dysfunction prevalence ranges from nearly 30 to 50 percent, that affects a woman’s self esteem, confidence, mental health and interpersonal relationship, many times a cause of unconsummated marriage and even divorce. People don’t open up, don’t discuss these issues and only on history exploration, one can know the underlying problem.
Dr Suneela Vegunta ( Internist Mayo US ) stated that people in USA are also not very comfortable in discussing these issues. Both the Faculty from US were experts in PCOS, Menopause and Sexual health.
Dr Sudhaa said that sex education in schools, at home, in PCOS patients, pre and post menopause is very important to address these issues. You should open up, discuss with your partner or with whom you confide in, & approach the concerned doctor and take the appropriate treatment if needed.
