Sexual Dysfunction Q & A

What is sexual dysfunction in women?

While sex is perhaps the most essential part of human bodily function, that doesn’t mean it’s a simple matter. A vast array of physical, emotional, and psychological responses must occur for a woman to experience desire and achieve a satisfying sexual encounter. Matters of belief systems and relationships also factor into sexual experiences.

Sexual dysfunction develops when you experience persistent problems with desire, response to sexual stimuli, or the ability to achieve orgasm. Pain during or after sex is also indicative of sexual dysfunction.

Why is it so important to seek treatment for sexual dysfunction?

A healthy sex life is an important part of overall health and wellness. Each woman deserves to create and sustain a sex life shaped around her unique needs and desires.

Research shows that women who have healthy sexual encounters experience enhanced immune function, improved fitness, and less pain than those who live with sexual dysfunction. There is also evidence that suggests heart health is linked to a healthy sex life.

Sex can also enhance the bond with your partner, boosting intimacy and helping bolster a strong relationship. Researchers also find that sex helps enhance happiness and a positive self-image, in addition to reducing stress.
