Can sexual problems be treated effectively?
Answer:
Every problem has its own methods of treatment, so it is hard to say if sexual problems can be treated effectively. The efforts of the person and the possibilities of the therapist are important factors in this. In the case of sexual problems, it is important to find somebody who knows a lot about these problems, e.g., a sexologist. A sexologist is a psychologist who is specialized in the treatment of sexual problems. Through the general practitioner you can ask for a referral to a sexologist. For physical causes of sexual problems it is always important to involve a gynaecologist or a urologist in the treatment. The gynaecologist and/or the urologist search for the physical causes.
