Sexual Health Q & A

Why is sexual health important?

Sex isn’t necessary for survival, but it’s something that affects all other aspects of your health. Educating yourself about sex and its impact on your life helps you make informed decisions about your health. 

Sexual health problems affect people of all ages, but they’re especially common after middle age. As you get older, your body stops producing as many hormones as it once did. This process significantly increases your risk of sexual health problems.

Men’s sexual health problems

Some of the most common sexual health problems men face include:

  • Premature ejaculation
  • Low libido
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Delayed ejaculation

 Some men also experience severe anxiety before or during intercourse. 

Women’s sexual health problems

Common sexual problems women might face include:

  • Low libido
  • Inability to become aroused
  • Inability to orgasm
  • Vaginal dryness

Many women also experience pain during intercourse. 

What causes sexual dysfunction?

Sexual health problems can happen to anybody, but certain factors increase your risk of experiencing them. Examples include older age, hormone imbalance, genetic factors, stress, and past trauma. 

Your doctor can diagnose your condition after reviewing your medical history and symptoms. They might complete a physical exam and recommend you undergo blood tests, ultrasound, or other imaging procedures. 

What are my treatment options for better sexual health?

Your provider tailors a treatment plan for sexual dysfunction to match your personalized needs, lifestyle, and desired outcome. They might recommend you try:

Hormone replacement therapy

Hormone replacement therapy uses synthetic hormones to increase low testosterone, estrogen, or other hormones to normal levels and restore sexual functioning. 

Acoustic wave treatment

Acoustic wave treatment, or shock wave therapy, utilizes pressure waves to stimulate blood flow in the penis to produce better, longer-lasting erections. 

Medications

Taking certain medications can help men get and keep firmer, stronger erections.

Lifestyle changes

Making certain lifestyle changes can improve your sexual health. Examples include eating healthy foods, getting regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress, not smoking, and limiting (or avoiding) alcohol.
