Sexual Health Conditions

When our bodies work well, we don’t worry about our sexual health and intimacy issues. Our genitals are comfortable, intimacy is pleasurable, and we feel confident during intimate activities. But if things aren’t working as expected, it can feel distressing – even more so if we find it difficult to talk about sex and intimate matters.

It’s important to remember, though, that intimacy and sex are a normal and healthy part of our lives that we deserve to enjoy. So, if you’re having any issues, don’t suffer in silence. Seek treatment – because, with the proper treatment, most of these problems can be managed or cured.

Sexual health conditions are common. They can affect everyone in different ways especially in relation to gender identity, sexual preference, age, life stage, or biology. These conditions can impact your sexual life, relationships, confidence and self-esteem. If you’re experiencing problems with sexual health, you might be avoiding relationships or intimacy. You might also feel shame, frustration, embarrassment – or even worry that it will never be like it used to be.

Understanding sexual health

Human sexual activity refers to a wide range of physical and psychological actions that involve sexual arousal, desire and satisfaction. It’s a fundamental aspect of human nature. And it’s crucial to personal relationships, procreation and individual well-being.

Being sexual is how we experience and express sexuality – and includes a range of activities – from those done alone to enjoying intimacy in various ways with other people. However, if things aren’t working well, you might experience conditions such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, decreased vaginal sensation or perhaps unwanted and persistent arousal.

At Pelvic Health Matters, our expert Physiotherapists are well-versed in treating the physical aspects of sexual health conditions and the important role that the pelvic floor muscles play. We are here to help you, so if you’re having problems, don’t suffer alone, contact us soon. We’ll work in conjunction with your health care team or refer you if needed. We’re confident our proven pathway is the best way to restore your pelvic health and live your best life.
