Sexuality is a natural and important part of human life. Sexual life, which is directly linked to an individual's physical, emotional, and social well-being, can be negatively affected for various reasons. Sexual dysfunctions and disorders can significantly impact the quality of life of both the individual and the couple. This article examines in detail the types, causes, diagnosis, and treatment methods of sexual problems. Healme Clinic aims to help its patients achieve a healthy sexual life by offering scientific, ethical, and personalized solutions in this field.
Sexual dysfunctions refer to conditions where desire, arousal, orgasm, or pleasure from sexual intercourse is impaired. These conditions may manifest differently in men and women. Typically, these are persistent problems that decrease the quality of life and can negatively affect relationships if left untreated.
The most common sexual problems in men include erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, and low libido.
Erectile Dysfunction
This is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. Although more common with age, it can also occur in young men due to psychological or organic reasons. Diabetes, heart diseases, hypertension, obesity, and certain medications can lead to erectile problems. Healme Clinic provides personalized treatment plans by evaluating both physical and psychological factors in such cases.
Premature Ejaculation
This refers to involuntary ejaculation occurring shortly after sexual activity begins. It can result in an unsatisfying sexual life for both partners. It is usually caused by psychological factors, but hormonal imbalances or nervous system issues may also contribute.
Delayed Ejaculation and Inability to Ejaculate
This refers to prolonged time before ejaculation or complete inability to ejaculate. It is often linked to neurological diseases, medication use, or psychological factors.
Loss of Libido
Loss of sexual desire is associated with hormone levels and mental state. Depression, stress, relationship problems, and low testosterone levels can negatively affect libido. At Healme Clinic, comprehensive hormonal analyses and psychological support are provided in such cases.
Women can also experience various sexual problems. These issues often go undiagnosed and untreated due to societal taboos. The most common problems include low sexual desire, vaginismus, painful intercourse (dyspareunia), and anorgasmia.
Low Sexual Desire
In women, reduced sexual desire may be linked to hormonal changes, postpartum period, stress, depression, marital problems, and sexual trauma.
Vaginismus
This is the involuntary contraction of the vaginal muscles that prevents penetration during intercourse. It is usually psychological in origin and develops from fears, shame, or guilt about sexual activity. Healme Clinic achieves successful results in treating vaginismus using cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques and pelvic floor exercises.
Dyspareunia (Painful Intercourse)
This refers to pain during or after intercourse. Infections, vaginal dryness, postpartum tissue damage, and psychological factors may cause this condition.
Orgasm Disorders
This refers to the inability or rare occurrence of orgasm during sexual intercourse. Both psychological and physiological factors may play a role.
Sexually transmitted infections are another major issue negatively affecting sexual health. They can threaten both individual and public health.
Most Common STDs
Many of these diseases can progress without symptoms. Therefore, regular screening tests and protected sex are extremely important. Healme Clinic provides diagnosis and treatment for STDs with a high regard for privacy and ethical standards.
Psychological factors play a major role in many sexual issues. Anxiety, depression, trauma, lack of self-confidence, and communication problems with a partner can impair sexual functioning. Therefore, psychological support is as important as medical treatment. Healme Clinic adopts a holistic approach with its team of expert psychologists and psychiatrists in this field.
Diagnosis of sexual problems involves a detailed medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and if necessary, imaging methods. Psychological assessment is also an integral part of the diagnostic process.
Treatment of sexual problems varies according to the underlying cause.
Medical Treatments
Hormone-regulating medications, vasodilators, and infection treatments are the most frequently used medical methods.
Psychotherapy and Sex Therapy
Individual or couple therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, and sexual education programs play an effective role in treatment.
Surgical Methods
In some cases, penile prostheses, genital aesthetic surgeries, or surgical interventions for organic problems may be preferred.
Alternative and Supportive Methods
Pelvic floor exercises, physiotherapy, mindfulness, and couple counseling can also strengthen the treatment process.
Healme Clinic offers personalized solutions by adopting a multidisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and treatment of sexual problems. With experienced urologists, gynecologists, psychologists, and therapists, Healme Clinic upholds privacy, scientific integrity, and ethical values in sexual health services.
Sexual health is a state of well-being that should be protected throughout life—not just when problems arise. Therefore, regular health check-ups, open communication, informed behavior, and professional support are crucial.
