A few weeks ago, we added a Q & A item on the ways having and recovering from COVID-19 might affect female sexual health to our website. 

This week, we take the subject a step further and discuss the implications of lockdowns, social distancing, and pandemic-related stress on women's sexuality.

Dr. Nahid Punjani, et al. address this question "Predictors of Pursuing Intralesional Xiaflex in Peyronie’s Disease Patients," first published in July in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
