You are not alone! Treatment is available
Here at our clinic, we begin with taking a full medical history and a physical examination. We need to take into consideration any medications that may be prescribed too; medications can be the cause of many sexual disorders. Some physical ailments such as diabetes and thyroid problems can have negative sexual side effects (White, 2016).
Sometimes behavioral therapy can help as well when there are no underlying physical problems that explain the orgasm disorder or pain during intercourse. These therapeutic sessions include information about sex, such as sexual stimulation and responses, learning how to communicate with your partner regarding your specific sexual needs, and tips on how to make sex better like getting a full nights sleep, reducing stress, and relearning how to have a healthy attitude about sex in general (White, 2016).
