Ryan Flynn: The Role of Psychosexual Medicine in Fertility Care
Ryan Flynn, GP Specialty Trainee at the NHS, shared on LinkedIn:
“Yesterday, I had the pleasure of delivering a teaching session to the Regional Fertility Centre team at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast.
My talk, ‘Beyond the Physical: The Role of Psychosexual Medicine in Fertility Care’, explored the evolution of our understanding of the human sexual response and how this has shaped modern definitions of sexual dysfunction.
We then looked at common psychosexual presentations and their relevance to fertility care, drawing on real-life clinical cases before finishing with practical tips that the team could take forward into everyday practice.
It was fantastic to receive such a positive response, with plenty of engaging questions and discussion throughout.
My interest in this area has developed through my own training with the Institute of Psychosexual Medicine (IPM), which offers a valuable approach to understanding the relationship between psychological and physical aspects of sexual difficulties. For anyone interested in learning more, further information can be found at www.ipm.org.uk.
Looking ahead, I’m also delighted to be speaking at the Belfast International Men’s Day event on Thursday 19th November at the Titanic Hotel, Belfast.
I’ll be discussing men’s health from a GP perspective, covering common health concerns, important signs and symptoms to look out for, when to seek medical advice and practical ways men can take a more proactive approach to their health and wellbeing.
It’s great to see increasing opportunities to promote conversations around men’s health, particularly areas that are often overlooked or difficult to talk about.”
