There are various sexual problems that women experience alone or with their partners. The word “sexuality” does not only mean sexual intercourse and includes various sexual activities such as caressing, masturbation and oral sex. Sexual problems can be defined as any problems that may occur during sexual activity. For example:


  • be reluctant

  • Having difficulty getting aroused, especially being too “dry”. Not being able to orgasm

  • Feeling pain due to sexual activity. Most women experience these problems from time to time. When these become permanent, the woman and her husband experience serious problems. If you are in physical pain, you should seek professional help immediately.


What are the causes of women's sexual problems?

There are many factors that can cause these problems. Two main factors; are biological and psychological, and the two often interact. Biological problems often occur due to hormonal imbalances, infections (such as a yeast infection), or diseases (such as diabetes or MS), which have side effects such as pain during sexual activity or extreme dryness. There are periods in every woman's life when she is more prone to sexual problems due to hormonal changes. For example, some women may experience sexual problems after birth and throughout menopause. In addition, frequently prescribed medications such as antidepressants can also cause sexual side effects. Sexual problems also have a psychological dimension. This may include conflicting cultural messages that a person has learned about sexuality. In particular, messages about sex influence how a woman views her own sexuality (e.g., body image, roles, power, perspective on her partner). From birth, every woman develops a single sexual script throughout her life, influenced by culture, gender, race, and personal experiences. The script carries the beliefs and meanings the woman attributes to her sexuality. As couples develop their own styles of sexual communication and activity, they must overcome their own personal scripts. Daily problems; This should be an ongoing process as it affects privacy and sexuality. Work problems, family and work pressures, substance abuse, depression and financial difficulties can affect how we feel sexually. Over time, psychological distress can create biological problems. Everything starts to get mixed up and you may not be able to determine where the problems really start. You just know you need help.


How will you know when you need to get help?

This really depends on the person and their partner. Sometimes a problem may seem to go away on its own. If this is something that is really going to upset or disappoint you and your partner, and it doesn't seem to change no matter what you try, or if you are seriously uncomfortable, then it's time to seek professional help.


How to get help?

Help is possible through individual or couple therapy. Most people use a combination of both. When a couple begins therapy, the therapist refers one or both partners to a doctor to check for medical conditions. The therapist or doctor should inform you about the reasons for the medical procedure. The doctor can help with medical issues, such as testing the dosage of the medication to reduce sexual side effects. There are hormone treatments for women during and after menopause. Currently, drugs similar to those used in men are not available to improve women's sexual function, but it may be possible in the coming years. Therapy can help women with sexual problems, either alone or with their partners. Most therapists are accustomed to talking to couples about their sexual lives. If you reveal your problem, they will not be ashamed of it. The therapist is there to understand the relationship dynamics of the woman and her partner and the background events that affect the problem. The therapist can provide you with information and answer your questions about human sexuality and sexual functioning.
