性功能障碍的诊断与治疗-诊断

身体检查

常规身体检查
万一性功能障碍需要治疗，所要采取的第一步始终是常规身体检查。众所周知，许多性功能障碍由医学原因所引起，诸如解剖学结构的异常、性器官的感染、外伤、心血管症状、器官的退行性病变、糖尿病和许多其它病变等。此外，用于治疗许多疾病的药物，加之酒精、烟和毒品等可能严重地影响到性反应。在开始任何心理或行为疗法之前，务必要消除诸如此类的医学症状。

The Treatment of Sexual Dysfunctions - Diagnosis

Physical Examination

Standard physical examination
In cases of sexual dysfunctions that seem to require therapy, the first step to be taken is always a thorough standard physical examination. It is well known that many sexual problems are caused by medical conditions, such as anatomical irregularities, infections of the sex organs, injuries, circulatory and vascular problems, degenerative diseases, diabetes, and many others. Moreover, medications used in the treatment of many diseases as well as the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs can seriously affect the sexual response. Before any psychological or behavioral treatment can begin, such medical conditions must be excluded.
