Common Sexual Dysfunction Symptoms and Causes
Sexual dysfunction encompasses a range of issues, including:
Dyspareunia (Painful Intercourse)
Pain during sex, known as dyspareunia, may result from physical or emotional factors. Common causes include:
- Vaginal dryness
- Vaginal inflammation
- Atrophic vaginitis
If you’re experiencing discomfort, don’t hesitate to seek help. Effective treatments are available to address these concerns.
Vaginal Dryness
A common symptom during and after menopause, vaginal dryness occurs due to declining estrogen levels. This can make intercourse painful and reduce overall comfort.
Making lifestyle adjustments and seeking appropriate medical care can significantly improve symptoms.
Atrophic Vaginitis
Atrophic vaginitis refers to thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls, often caused by hormonal changes or infections. Symptoms may include:
- Irritation and inflammation
- Painful intercourse
- Increased risk of vaginal infections
If you suspect you may have a vaginal infection or atrophic vaginitis, it’s important to see a specialist for diagnosis and treatment.
Inhibited Sexual Desire
Low libido or inhibited sexual desire may be linked to physical conditions or emotional challenges, such as:
- Anxiety or depression
- Self-esteem or body image concerns
- Relationship difficulties
- Stress
Tracking patterns and noting factors that influence your sexual desire can help your doctor create a personalized treatment plan.
