Sexual Issues
You Are Not Alone.
Female sexual issues are common. So common, this condition is referred to as Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD). It is characterized by a persistent or recurrent inability to attain sexual arousal or to maintain arousal until the completion of a sexual activity.
Sexual response involves a complex interplay of physiology, emotions, experiences, beliefs, lifestyle and relationships. Disruption of any component can affect sexual desire, arousal or satisfaction, and treatment often involves more than one approach.
If problems last more than a few months or cause distress for you or your partner, you should schedule an appointment. Dr. Stefanie Schultis located in Covington, LA has several non-surgical office treatments that may help.
There are several circumstances that can keep you from enjoying sex:
-
Lack of sexual desire
-
Inability to become aroused
-
Lack of orgasm, or sexual climax
Conditions may have physical or psychological causes. Physical causes may include desire and function. Psychological causes may include work-related stress and anxiety. They may also include depression or concerns about marriage or relationship problems. For some women, the problem results from past sexual trauma.
