Women

Some women suffer from sexual dysfunction, a condition they may be uncomfortable discussing or even admitting to; however, this kind of dysfunction is often treatable. NSMC can diagnose and treat sexual dysfunction in a respectful, supportive atmosphere.

Some common types of sexual dysfunction:

  • hypoactive sexual desire disorder--low sexual desire
  • sexual aversion disorder -- strong desire to avoid sexual activity
  • female sexual arousal disorder -- inability to attain or maintain a physical response to sexual arousal
  • female orgasmic disorder -- inability to achieve orgasm or delayed orgasm
  • dsypareunia -- pain during sexual intercourse
  • vaginismus--painful spasms of the muscles of the vagina preventing intercourse.
  • Speak to either your primary care physician or your OB-GYN if you are concerned that you may have a sexual dysfunction.
