Sexual Pain or Dysfunction
What is sexual dysfunction?
Sexual dysfunction can be classified into two types: Sexual dysfunction (FSD) and sexual dysfunction of the genitals (SDF).
Sexual dysfunction refers to difficulties experienced by individuals or couples at any stage of the sexual response cycle, which inhibits satisfaction with sexual activity. Sexual dysfunction is a condition in which an individual or couple has difficulty in all stages of normal sexual activity, including sexual intercourse, oral sex, anal sex, and vaginal intercourse. It can include difficulty maintaining an erection or experiencing an orgasm as well as the inability to orgasm during sexual intimacy.
Risk Factors for Sexual Dysfunction
The strong association observed in NHSLS data suggests that sexual dysfunction is the most common cause of female anorgasmia and premature ejaculation in men, although the role of hormonal changes in the development of FSD and other sexual disorders has yet to be investigated.
Other risk factors include:
Endometriosis
Polycystic ovarian syndrome
Vaginitis or vaginismus
Urinary tract infections
Yeast infections
Signs and Symptoms of Sexual Pain and Dysfunction
Symptoms vary depending on what type of sexual dysfunction you're experiencing:
-Low sexual desire
-Difficulty around arousal
-Anorgasmia (orgasmic disorder)
-Pain associated with sexual stimulation
If you are experiencing any of these signs or symptoms over multiple encounters, it is time to schedule an appointment to check on the issue.
