Women’s sexual problems often take a backseat to the
men’s sexual problems, especially in the last decade or so due to the launch
and subsequent marketing blitz of Viagra which has created a lot of awareness about
erectile dysfunction in men.
But it is important not lose sight of the fact that
a lot of women suffer from some sort of sexual health problem during some time
or another in their life. These can range from minor discomfort during
intercourse to total loss of libido.
It is important for both men and women to realize
that these problems are much more common than what they think they are and you
should inform yourself about these conditions and know that there are various
effective treatments ranging from counseling to medications or combination of
both that can be availed.
The first step whenever you or your partner is
facing a sex related problem is to contact a qualified sexologist or a sex
therapist to discuss the problem. Overcoming the fear of embarrassment about
your problem is key to be able to successfully treat it.
The cause for female sexual dysfunction may be
psychological or physical and a good counselor or a doctor specializing in this
field can properly diagnose and offer treatment.
Depending on the age, nature or severity of the
problem, different type of treatment can be used ranging from counseling, use
of proper lubricants, pelvic exercises, changes in any anti depressant
medication, change of diet, general exercises and hormonal treatment etc.
It’s not only important to communicate about these
problems with your health care professional but also with your partner. And the
woman’s partner needs to be understanding and supportive of her and help her
get and use the treatment as specified by the doctor and to never self
medicate.
Remember most female sexual health problems are
treatable and there is no need for you or your partner to suffer unnecessarily,
because problems in your sexual life are bound to spill over in your normal
life and pose even more problems in your relationship and cause undue stress
and tension.
