Sexual health involves understanding one's own body, a partner's body, and all of the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects involved with intimacy. Sexual concerns may involve one or more of these factors, and our sexual medicine services can help identify and address many of these issues.

Common sexual health concerns that we address include:

• Significant change(s) in sexual function which cause a problem for the individual. Sexual health problems can include:
  • Loss of interest in or around sex
  • Decreased arousal during sex 
  • Difficulties with erections 
  • Problems with early or delayed ejaculation
  • Difficulties with orgasm 
  • Pain with sexual activity; genital pain 
  • Persistent physical genital arousal, without sexual activity
• Lifelong difficulties with sexual function, which are now causing a problem for you 
• Menopausal symptoms which may or may not affect sexual function directly 
• Desire a second opinion on a sexual concern or intervention 
• Concerns about HIV and other sexually transmitted infections 
• Concerns about sexual function and chronic disease, medications, aging, or other health issues
