Forty percent of women have a physical, medical, hormonal or emotional issue significant enough to interfere with intercourse or other sexual activity.

This is a topic that is rarely broached in the doctor’s office. Even when it is discussed, many times women are not offered solutions to their pain, lack of interest, or lack of response.

While cultural factors, religious beliefs, social issues, general health, and age all influence the frequency and ability to have sexual activity, medical conditions such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease or neurologic problems often are the precipitating problem or complicate an existing problem.

If you have a physical, hormonal, or medical condition that has sabotaged your sex life, the Northwestern Medicine Program for Sexual Medicine & Menopause is here to help.
