If you find it hard to talk about these matters with your doctor, get help from other members of your health care team. These professionals can provide answers and help you talk with your doctor. If you need to, think about finding a new doctor with whom you feel more at ease discussing sexual problems. Your doctor will factor in your medical history and the overall state of your health to diagnose the problem and advise a plan of action for you. Your doctor may suggest that your sexual problem stems from some psychological issues.
Sexual function is complex.
It involves many physical and emotional responses. Worries about being unattractive. Conflicts with your partner over money, children, work, or other life stresses. A history of sexual abuse. If a psychological issue is at the root of your sexual problem, your doctor may refer you to a mental health professional trained in this area.
