Sexual dysfunction in women

By: Dorothy R. Bowlby, Wed Feb 3rd, 2010

Doctors call it "sexual dysfunction" when you have problems with sex. Both men and women can have it. There are four types of sexual problems in women.

* Desire disorders - When you're not interested in having sex or have less desire for sex than you used to.

* Arousal disorders - When you do not feel a sexual response in your body or you can not stay excited.

* Orgasmic disorders - When you can not have an orgasm or pain during orgasm.

* Disorders that cause pain during sex - When you have pain during or after sex.

How do I know if I have a problem?

Up to 70% of couples have sexual problems at some point in their relationship. Most women will have sex that do not meet at some point in their lives. This does not necessarily mean you have a sexual problem.

If you want to have sex or if sex has never met could have a sexual problem. Discuss your concerns with your doctor. Remember that whatever you tell your doctor is private and that the doctor can help you find the reason and possibly recommend you buy generic viagra or viagra as treatment for sexual dysfunction.

What can I do?

If desire is the problem, try changing your usual routine. Try having sex at different times of day or try a different sexual position.

Arousal disorders can often improve with the use of a vaginal cream or a sexual lubricant for dryness. If you have gone through menopause, talk to your doctor about taking estrogen or using an estrogen cream.

If you have problems reaching orgasm might not be having enough foreplay or stimulation before intercourse begins. Additional stimulation with a vibrator before having sex with your partner can help.

You might need rubbing or stimulation for one hour before sex. Many women have an orgasm during intercourse. If you want to have an orgasm during intercourse, you or your partner may gently rub the clitoris. Masturbation can also be useful because it can help you learn which techniques work best for you.

If you are having pain during intercourse try different positions. When you are on top you have more control over penetration and movement. Empty your bladder before having sex, using extra lubrication or take a warm bath before sex can help.

If you still have pain during sex, talk with your doctor. There are several reasons to have pain during sex, therefore, talk to your doctor. He or she can help find the cause of your pain and decide which treatment is best for you.

What about my partner?

Talk to your partner about what each one likes and dislikes or what they want to try. Ask your partner. Remember that your partner may not want to do some things you may want to try, and you may not want to do what your partner wants. You must respect what their likes and dislikes to each. This helps you and your partner have a sexual relationship. If you feel you can not talk to your partner, it is possible that your doctor or counselor can help.

If you feel that your partner is abusing you, tell your doctor.
