Sexuality is an important part of being human. Love, affection, and sexual intimacy contribute to healthy relationships and individual well-being. But, there are some things that can have a negative impact our sexuality. These include illnesses, mixed emotions and unintended consequences that can affect our sexual health. The ability to have an open discussion about sexual issues is important to promoting sexual health and wellness.
There exist fundamental rights for the individual, including freedom from disorders, diseases and deficiencies that interfere with sexual and reproductive function
World Health Organization (WHO)
More attention has been placed on sexual health since the WHO issued the statement above more than 25 years ago. However, challenges to achieving this vision remain. In many cases, the underlying cause of sexual disorders is poorly understood. And often, few treatment options are available – especially for women. Up to 60% of women are affected with sexual dysfunction and most of those suffer in silence.
It is important to address your sexual health issues with your health care physician and partner. Your sex life does not have to be permanently changed or lost because of medical conditions, age, childbirth or menopause.
Sexual Health Challenges
Common challenges that can affect a woman’s sexual wellness in her lifetime include:
- Pelvic pain
- Post-childbirth physical changes
- Pre- and Post-Menopausal hormonal changes
- Bladder dysfunction and incontinence
- Mood disorders, stress, and relationship
- Medication side effects
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, we may be able to help. After reviewing your medical history and performing a physical exam, tests will be ordered to rule out potential causes for these symptoms. I recognize what a positive impact optimized sexual wellness can have in a woman’s life. The team at Lumina and I are happy to offer solutions that can help!
