Sexual Dysfunctions
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Sexual dysfunctions are persistent difficulties in some phase of the sexual response —desire, arousal, orgasm, or associated pain— that cause distress or affect the intimate life of the person or the couple.
Possible causes: Physical, hormonal, emotional, or relationship factors, or the use of certain medications may be involved, and several often combine.
When to see a doctor? It is reasonable to seek help when these difficulties persist over time, cause distress, or affect the well-being of the couple.
Which specialist treats it? The sexologist addresses these situations, and depending on the case the psychologist, psychiatrist, or general practitioner collaborate. Talking about the topic with a professional allows for a comprehensive and nonjudgmental evaluation.
