A sexual history should be taken as part of routine health care.

Navigating sexual relationships with a history of sexual or reproductive health issues like endometriosis or PCOS can be challenging. Open communication with your partner is key. Discuss your condition, boundaries, and any concerns you may have. Prioritize your comfort and well-being, and consider consulting your healthcare provider for advice on managing your condition in the context of a sexual relationship. Your health and feelings matter, and a supportive partner will respect your needs.

Remember that a supportive partner will respect your needs and concerns. It’s okay to prioritize your health and comfort above all else. If at any point you feel uncomfortable or experience pain, communicate openly and stop any activity that causes distress. Your well-being is paramount.
