Sexual health is one aspect of women’s health. It refers to your ability to experience sexual drive, desire, and pleasurable intercourse.
Up to 40% of women experience sexual health issues today, so if you’re struggling with sex, it’s important to know you’re not alone. Compassionate sexual health help is available at Nova Women’s Health.
Women may experience sexual health problems such as:
Many women experience several or even all of these issues at once.
Sexual health issues can occur at any age but are particularly common during perimenopause (the menopause transition) and menopause due to a significant decrease in hormones. Many women also experience sexual health difficulties after having a baby.
In other cases, the root cause of sexual issues could be health problems such as abnormal bleeding, uterine fibroids, blood flow disorders, or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
In addition, relationship problems and mental health challenges like depression and anxiety can harm your sexual health.
When sex isn’t enjoyable, it becomes a serious stressor in your life. You might feel a lot of anxiety and pressure around sex, which only complicates the situation.
At Nova Women’s Health, the women’s health professionals truly understand your sexual health challenges. They provide compassionate care that helps you improve your sexual health in a way that works for your situation.
There are many ways to improve your libido, sexual response, and overall sexual health.
