Sexual health — the physical dimension

Sexual health encompasses the physical functioning of the sexual response system — circulation, nerve sensitivity, hormonal support, pelvic floor function — and these systems are reliably affected by cardiovascular health, diabetes, medications, surgery, trauma, and aging. Difficulties in sexual function are among the most common medical complaints and among the least discussed with clinicians, meaning many people suffer unnecessarily from treatable conditions. Addressing sexual health directly, without shame, is part of attending to the body fully.
