Sexual dysfunction
Sexual dysfunction refers to the problem that tends to prevent a person to enjoy or experience pleasure as well as satisfaction from sexual activity. Based on this dysfunction a person is unable to complete and respond to the sexual response cycle that includes excitement, desire, arousal, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. Based on the statistics, 31 percent of the men and approximately 43 percent of the women experience this dysfunction (Rabiepoor, Khalkhali, & Sadeghi, 2017). Also, sexual dysfunction can occur at any age, but still it is common in the people that are over 40. The primary reason for this is accounted that in this age, health decline and aging tends to happen.
Furthermore, important types of sexual dysfunctions include desire disorders, pain disorders, orgasm disorders, and arousal disorders. Considering the problem, there are many causes of this dysfunction. However, they are grouped into physical and psychological causes (Brotto, & Yule, 2017). Physical causes of sexual dysfunction include drug abuse, diabetes, antidepressant drugs, alcoholism, hormonal imbalance, liver, and kidney failure. On the other hand, psychological reasons, includes stress, concern regarding the relationship, effects of sexual trauma, depression, etc.
Sexually transmitted diseases
Sexually transmitted diseases are the infections that pass from one person to another by sexual contacts or intercourse. These infections spread by the use of sexual contacts, breastfeeding, during childbirth, unsterilized drug needles as well as blood exchange. Also, these infections tend to grow on the genitals because they are the most sensitive as well as most areas of the skin (Workowski & Bolan, 2015). Sexually transmitted diseases include chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea, HIV, AIDS, trichomoniasis, pubic lice, scabies, herpes, etc. Furthermore, considering the types of these disorders, some of them such as AIDS cannot be treated, on the other hand, some of them can be treated (Workowski, 2015). Furthermore, considering the adversities of this disease, they are prevented by having safe sex, using condoms, avoiding drugs, using vaccinations, etc. Researches have also reported that the rate of these infections are increasing, so education in this regard is essential.
