Sexual dysfunction with a physical cause

Sexuality is body and emotion at the same time, so that question rarely has a single answer. Behind pain, dryness or low desire there may be recurrent infections, vulvodynia, vaginismus, inflammation of the cervix, pelvic floor pain, endometriosis, lichen or the menopause. A careful gynaecological examination is what makes it possible to find the physical cause, if there is one.

That is extremely common, and it is why the consultation is a space to talk without rushing. As a sexologist, I also support you with the emotional and relationship side: what is not talked about cannot be solved.

First, look for where the pain comes from, with a careful examination. Depending on what we find, the plan may include treating the cause and techniques such as pelvic floor radiofrequency, laser or hyaluronic acid, almost always alongside pelvic floor physiotherapy.
