Seksualdüsfunktsioon

Seksualdüsfunktsioon, also known as sexual dysfunction, refers to a wide range of problems that prevent a person from experiencing satisfaction from sexual activity. These dysfunctions can involve desire, arousal, orgasm, or pain during sex. It is a common condition that can affect both men and women.

Causes of sexual dysfunction can be physical, psychological, or a combination of both. Physical causes may include chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, and neurological disorders, as well as certain medications, hormonal imbalances, and aging. Psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and past trauma can also play a significant role.

Symptoms vary depending on the specific type of dysfunction. For men, these can include erectile dysfunction (difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection) and premature or delayed ejaculation. For women, common issues include low libido, difficulty with arousal or lubrication, and anorgasmia (inability to reach orgasm). Pain during intercourse, known as dyspareunia, can affect both sexes.

Diagnosis typically involves a medical history, physical examination, and potentially psychological evaluation. Treatment approaches are tailored to the underlying cause and may include medication, hormone therapy, counseling or psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes. Open communication with a healthcare provider is crucial for effective management and improved sexual well-being.
