Sexual Health & Wellbeing

Sex and sexuality are an integral part of life.

In addition to reproduction, sex fosters intimacy, body positivity, and pleasure. Today, people lead longer and more active lives; enjoying sex and intimacy can be a key part of this.

Maintaining sexual health is important at every stage of life, from preventing disease or planning a family to maintaining an active sex life in later years. Since sexual well-being is intertwined with our day-to-day lives, stress, illness, or age can all take their toll on our sexual health and enjoyment. 

 

Sexual problems can range from minor irritations to serious complications:

• For Men, symptoms can include erectile dysfunction or impotence, premature ejaculation, delayed or inhibited ejaculation, or low sexual desire. These issues can worsen with age, diminishing a man’s sexual confidence and pleasure. 
• For Women, poor sexual health can manifest as low sexual desire, difficulty becoming aroused, vaginal dryness, pain during sex or trouble reaching orgasm. As a woman’s hormone levels decrease with age, this can affect her sexual drive and enjoyment. 

If you have experienced difficulties, remember that sexual health is not just physical but emotional too –  good communication with your partner can often resolve problems. If matters do not improve, or if you suspect a medical condition, a sexual health specialist can often help you make a quick and complete recovery.

Everyone deserves sexual happiness and satisfaction. Whether you choose to talk with your partner or to seek out medical advice, you are taking the important first step towards sexual health.
