What Is Sexual Dysfunction?

Sexual dysfunction can affect different stages of the sexual response cycle and may present in various ways for men and women. Common types include:

  • Low sexual desire (reduced libido)
  • Orgasmic disorder, causing difficulty achieving orgasm
  • Sexual arousal disorder, where desire is present but arousal is difficult
  • Sexual pain disorder, involving pain during stimulation or penetration

These symptoms can occur alone or in combination and may vary in severity.

At What Age Can Sexual Dysfunction Begin?

Sexual dysfunction does not have a specific age limit. While it is more common in men and women over the age of 50—often due to chronic health conditions, hormonal changes, or medication use—it can occur in:

  • Young adults
  • Middle-aged individuals
  • Older adults

Stress, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, chronic illness, and lifestyle factors can cause sexual dysfunction at any stage of life. If symptoms arise, early evaluation is key to successful treatment.

Diagnosing Sexual Dysfunction in Men and Women

Diagnosis typically begins with a detailed medical and sexual history, along with a focused physical exam. In many cases, sexual dysfunction can be identified without extensive testing. However, Dr. Singh may recommend additional lab work to rule out contributing conditions such as:

  • Hormone deficiencies
  • Metabolic disorders
  • Cardiovascular risk factors

If you are experiencing symptoms, early evaluation at HEALOR® can help identify the cause and prevent worsening issues.
