Sexual disorders are conditions that interfere with a person’s ability to experience sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, or satisfaction. They can also involve pain during sex or anxiety related to sexual activity, and they often result in emotional distress or relationship problems.
Sexual disorders can affect desire, arousal, performance, or satisfaction, and they may be psychological, physical, or a combination of both.

Yes. Research shows that up to 43% of women and 31% of men experience some form of sexual dysfunction at some point in their lives. It’s a common yet underreported issue due to stigma or embarrassment.
If sexual difficulties are persistent, cause emotional distress, or interfere with intimacy, it’s important to talk to a doctor, therapist, or sexologist. These are treatable conditions, and seeking help early improves outcomes.
