Sexual Dysfunctions: Assessment, Management, and Therapeutic Approaches

A healthy sex life is about much more than how often you "do it." Sex is not only pleasurable, but it can also pave the way for other benefits to your overall health. Sex can serve as a stress release, help lower blood pressure, improve sleep, lift depression and help your immune system. But how can you help ensure a healthy sex life, and what does it reveal about your overall health? We believe a good sex life is an important part of your health. We want to assure you that we are available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about what's going on in the bedroom. Don't ever be embarrassed to discuss sensitive subjects with us. We are part of your medical team and we want you to live the healthiest life possible. Just contact us for an appointment. A healthy sex life doesn't center on how many times you have sex or even how often you orgasm. Good sex centers around intimacy, and sometimes a good massage or holding each other can be enough. Alternatively, this type of touching can add to sexual chemistry, an important part of intimacy. We have some important information on how to have a healthy sex life that can help you and your partner. When you obsess about how often you "should" have sex, you're creating pressure that doesn't need to be there. The truth is that interest in sex naturally waxes and wanes throughout your relationship. There is no one number you must reach in order to have a healthy sex life. What's more important is your intimacy and satisfaction when you do have sex. However, if you're not having sex regularly because you have a very low libido or because sex is painful, then schedule an appointment with us. We can help you and your partner find solutions to point you toward a more enjoyable sex life.
