THE PROBLEM
LGBTQ+ patients have specific, complex pelvic health needs and most clinicians were never trained to address them.
Sexual dysfunctions, pre- and post-operative pelvic floor challenges in gender-affirming surgery, persistent pelvic pain, scar tissue management, and neuromuscular dysfunction are just some of the realities your LGBTQ+ patients live with often in silence.
Without inclusive, advanced clinical reasoning, these patients receive fragmented care, or none at all. The anatomy changes. The surgical history matters. The psychosocial context is inseparable from the physical. And yet most pelvic health curricula barely scratch the surface.
That gap ends here.
WHAT YOU'LL COVER
🌈 Sexual dysfunctions
Across gender identities and sexual orientations — pain, arousal, penetration difficulties, and more.
🌈 Pre & post-surgical care
Gender-affirming surgeries (vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, metoidioplasty) — pelvic floor preparation and recovery.
🌈 Scar tissue & pain
Surgical and perineal scars, adhesions, chronic pelvic pain, and central sensitization.
🌈Pelvic floor function
Assessment and treatment adapted to diverse anatomies, hormonal contexts, and lived experiences.
🌈Urinary & anorectal
Dysfunction specific to trans and non-binary patients, MSM, and intersex presentations.
🌈Psychosocial integration
Trauma-informed care, gender-affirming communication, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
INSIDE THE MASTERCLASS
How hormonal therapy (HRT/TRT) changes pelvic floor tone, tissue quality, and pain sensitivity
The clinical reasoning behind dyspareunia, vaginismus, and anodyspareunia & other pelvic floor dysfunctions in LGBTQ+ patients
How to assess and treat neovaginal and neophallus post-surgical presentations
The role of the nervous system in persistent pelvic pain across gender-diverse bodies
Practical tools for inclusive assessment, consent, and communication with LGBTQ+ patients
Real clinical cases with clear progressions you can apply the next day
