Sexual health disorders are a group of conditions that affect an individual’s ability to experience satisfaction from sexual activity. These disorders can impact both men and women and are more common than many people realize. Addressing them is vital for emotional well-being, relationship satisfaction, and overall mental health.
In men, common sexual health issues include erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and low libido. Women may experience low sexual desire, painful intercourse (dyspareunia), or difficulty achieving orgasm. Both genders may suffer from sexual aversion, performance anxiety, or problems related to self-image.
Sexual disorders can stem from physical, psychological, or emotional factors. Common physical causes include diabetes, hormonal imbalances, cardiovascular diseases, and medication side effects. Psychological contributors may involve anxiety, depression, past trauma, relationship conflicts, or cultural taboos.
Effective treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment by a qualified psychiatrist or sexual health specialist. Therapy options may include:
Psychotherapy or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Couples counseling
Medication or hormone therapy
Non-drug treatments such as rTMS or neurofeedback
