About Sexual disorders

Sexual disorders are characterized by the decreased ability or inability to enjoy certain intimate activities and sexually respond to them. There are several psychological and endocrinal reasons behind experiencing sexual disorders. The major classification of sexual disorders is Orgasm disorders, interest disorders, arousal, and pain disorders.

When the endocrine glands’ hormonal level secretion is disturbed, it affects the sexual life since the hormones play a vital role in generating sexual responses and managing them. The testes and ovaries produce sex hormones (androgens and estrogens), the adrenal gland is responsible for sexual functionality, the thyroid gland stimulates the mood, and the endocrine system regulates arousal and overall sexual development (puberty).

The hormonal balance is essential for sexual health and psychological development. Some therapies treat problems like adolescent development, puberty disorders, erectile dysfunction, low libido, early ejaculation, hypoactive sexual desire disorder, orgasmic disorder, and others. Endocrinologists are specialists in understanding hormone secretion and the functions of endocrine glands and providing appropriate treatments that will treat sexual disorders and improve the quality of life.
