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. Speak to either your primary care physician or your OB-GYN if you are concerned that you may have a sexual dysfunction.

Some common types of sexual dysfunction are:

• hypoactive sexual desire disorder (low sexual desire)
• sexual aversion disorder
• 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)
