Sexual Problems

Sexual problems are very common. Around 33% of males suffer from one of the sexual problems predominantly related to erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and problems related to orgasm. Sexual problems in mature individuals, particularly those related to achieving orgasm, can arise from a combination of physical, emotional, and psychological factors. With age, changes in hormone levels, such as reduced testosterone or estrogen, can affect sexual desire and response. Physical conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular issues, or pelvic muscle weakness may hinder the ability to experience orgasm. Psychological factors, including stress, anxiety, or relationship challenges, can further complicate sexual satisfaction. For some, a lack of sexual education or communication with partners about preferences and needs may also contribute. Addressing these issues often involves open dialogue, lifestyle adjustments, and, when needed, medical or therapeutic support to enhance intimacy and well-being.

Types of Sexual Dysfunction

Sexual dysfunction is more common in women than men, affecting around 43% of women. It can impact a person’s quality of life and interpersonal relationships.

  • Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD): Persistent or recurrent lack of sexual interest or desire, leading to distress or interpersonal difficulty.
  • Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD) is a condition characterized by the persistent or recurrent inability to achieve or maintain sufficient sexual arousal, either physical or psychological, despite adequate stimulation and desire.
  • Female Orgasmic Disorder (Anorgasmia): Difficulty, infrequency, or inability to achieve orgasm despite adequate stimulation and desire.
  • Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder (GPPPD) in modern medical terminology, is characterized by persistent or recurrent pain and discomfort during vaginal penetration or attempts at penetration.
