What is sexual dysfunction?
Symptoms of sexual dysfunction vary on what the type of dysfunction a man or woman is experiencing, including:
- Low sexual desire
- Orgasmic disorder, which causes trouble achieving orgasm
- Sexual arousal disorder, which means that your desire is intact, but you have trouble getting aroused
- Sexual pain disorder, this means you have pain during stimulation or penetration

Diagnosing sexual dysfunction in men and women
Diagnosing sexual dysfunction occurs without testing other than a physical exam with Dr. Singh at our Las Vegas, NV, office. If you have symptoms of sexual dysfunction, you must seek help at HEALOR™. We can pinpoint the cause so you can resolve your sexual dysfunction symptoms. We will discuss your health and sexual history and conduct a physical exam. We may recommend diagnostic testing to help us rule out different medical conditions that could contribute to or cause your sexual dysfunction.
Sexual dysfunction treatment
Most sexual dysfunction can be treated by what is causing it. Once we determine the cause, Dr. Singh can treat that medical condition, which usually resolves sexual dysfunction.
Some sexual dysfunction treatment options include:
- Medication: Patients with hormone deficiencies can benefit from hormone pills, creams, or shots. For men, drugs such as Viagra®, Cialis®, or Levitra® help improve sexual function as they increase blood flow.
- Behavioral treatment: If Dr. Singh suspects a psychological issue causes sexual dysfunction, he may recommend you go to therapy where you can address sexual trauma, self-esteem issues, or feelings of fear or guilt.
