Sexual Dysfunction Treatment
Sexual dysfunction affects up to 31% of middle-aged and older men, but female sexual dysfunction has a larger prevalence (43%) than sexual dysfunction, although being researched less intensively. Increased diagnosis and accompanying health-care expenditures for the therapy of this widespread condition have resulted from demographic changes, the adoption of novel treatments, and a better awareness of sexual dysfunction by patients and society. For many people, especially those in poor health, sexual health and pleasure with sex life are critical parts of quality of life. Because many patients are hesitant to bring up the subject of their sexual lives, doctors should bring it up immediately in order to elicit a history of sexual dysfunction. A typical element of the clinician visit should include addressing sexual health.
