Sexual dysfunction – diagnostics and solution options

Sexual dysfunction (SD) means a quantitative or qualitative disorder that makes it impossible to have a satisfying sex life. Although it is sometimes possible to prove a clearly organic or psychogenic etiology, they usually have a multifactorial origin. Primary SD occurs in the patient from the beginning of sexual life, secondary SD appears after a certain longer trouble- free period. Generalized SD is not tied to the current partnership, selective is tied to a particular partnership and its quality. The prevalence of SD in the population is not exactly known; in a survey of the sexual behavior of a representative sample of the Czech population in 2008, 20 % of men and women alike stated that they sometimes suffered from a certain sexual dysfunction.
