Sexual Dysfunction
Sexual dysfunction refers to persistent problems with sexual response, desire, orgasm, or pain during sex. It can affect people of all genders and may be caused by physical, psychological, or relationship factors.

You may experience frustration, embarrassment, or distress about your sexual experiences. This can lead to anxiety, low self-esteem, and strain in relationships. Concerns about performance or intimacy are common.
