What is Sexology

Sexology is a professional and specialised area of therapy which explores the many physical and emotional reasons for sexual difficulties. This type of therapy has a very high success rate, and the majority of patients find solutions for their issues.

Most sexual problems are easily treatable if they are correctly diagnosed. 

Healthy relationships should include an active sex life

However, it is not uncommon for individuals to encounter sexual problems at some point in their relationships.

According to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 3 out of 10 men, and 4 out of 10 women, experience sexual issues at some point in their lives.

The most common issues faced by men include: premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction and low sexual desire.

Women face issues with arousal, low sexual desire and pain during intercourse.

The most common causes of sexual problems include tiredness, hormonal imbalances and conflict in a relationship.
