The experts ensure that more and more younger people seek out solutions for their intimate problems. Despite the modern times technological developments and the open media, there’s still a lot of people who doesn’t know if the sexual problem they’re going through is a dysfunction or not.
These dysfunctions are defined as problems from either a psychogenic origin or a physiological origin. In some cases both, through any stage of the sexual human response (desire, excitation, orgasm or resolution) that represents an impediment for a full erotic life, causing lack of intimate enjoyment for the individual or the couple.
There are several studies that reveal that between the 40% and 45% of the women and the 20% and 30% of the men have at least one sexual dysfunction.
With that in mind, and according to the director of the Mi Intimidad Centre, Odette Freundlich; the 5 most frequent female dysfunctions are: absence or reduced interest or sexual desire, sexual arousal difficulties, difficulties to get an orgasm or to achieve sexual satisfaction, pain or discomfort during the penetration (Dyspareunia), impossibility of achieving vaginal penetration (Vaginismus).
On the other side, the 3 most common male dysfunctions are: lack of ejaculatory control (premature ejaculation or retarded ejaculation), difficulties to achieve or sustain an erection (erectile dysfunction), lack or decrease of the sexual interest, also sexual anxiety.
According to some studies, women who seek for treatment, usually wait around 5 years before consulting, because they didn’t know that the problem they were going through had a name, and it wasn’t clear where to seek for help and that the issue could fade with time.
Most doctors and specialists in the field of sexual health, agree that is a big mistake to wait so long for seeking help because in general this kind of dysfunctions can be treated, and if it’s consulted early the period of suffering will be less for the couple.
Depending on the case, the treatments can be focused in solutions with a multidisciplinary look, formed by a gynecologist, a urologist, a kinesiologist expert in sexuality and a sexologist.
