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.
