Each week, I speak to both patients and doctors about sex. Unfortunately, they don't spend nearly enough time talking to each other. Sexual pleasure and comfort are legitimate health care issues. If you feel your physician is too judgmental for you to talk honestly, find a new physician. Many patients say they're waiting for the doctor to open the subject.
Doctors say the same thing.
They don't want to embarrass their patients or offend those who might think they're being called kinky, frigid or a slut. Side effects of medications, particularly antidepressants, anti-hypertensives, diuretics and hormones. While changes in desire, arousal, orgasm and satisfaction aren't inevitable, you should know what to look for and what to do about it. What to do if you don't like the way you function. There are simple ways to diagnose sexual difficulties.
