The Latest Sexual Dysfunction Treatment Programs and Therapies for the Primary Care Physician
Sexual dysfunction is one of the largest and fastest growing segments within medicine. The statistics are staggering and yet both physician and patients are unaware of the breakthroughs in medicine that allow for effective treatment in both men and women. Erectile dysfunction affects almost all men at one time or another in their lives and effects more than 30 million American men. Women suffer from sexual dysfunction more than men due to differing perceptions of sexual intercourse; about 43% of women in America suffer from female sexual dysfunction. The annual revenue growth since 2007 is 7.8% and projected growth going forward is at 9.2% per year.
The Sexual Dysfunction Course has been separated to include men and women as well as the diagnosis, treatments available and standard of care needed. In men, cases for erectile dysfunction will more than double over the next 25 years due to population trends. The worldwide incidence of erectile dysfunction estimated at over 152 million men, with a forecast of 322 million men by the year 2025. About 80% of erectile dysfunction goes unreported while the 52% of men who suffer from erectile dysfunction 17% have minimal ED, 25% have moderate ED, and 10% have complete ED – all of which have effective treatment options available to them.
While ED in men has been extensively researched, very little has been completed on Female Sexual Dysfunction other than psychological causes. Only recently have we defined female sexual dysfunction and have defined and created classifications to this disorder. The causes of female sexual dysfunction can be an assortment of issues all intermingled making it more complex than of males.

Female sexual dysfunction affects more of the population than that of males. Only recently have we been able to effectively identify and give definition to the disorder. During the course study you will be able to evaluate the patient based upon the following criteria:
Testing, evaluation, and treatment options vary greatly based upon the presence of these symptoms which can be stand-alone or combined. Treating female sexual disorders require additional testing that can possible correlate deficiencies and/or other medical related issues such as drug interaction/sensitivities, psychological, or hormonal. An extensive amount of time is spent on determining the types of testing, typical results, and possible remedies to these disorders.
For example certain medical conditions can create the following dysfunctions:
Various procedures, medications or psychological disorders can create lack of sexual desire:
The objective of the training in relation to female sexual dysfunction is to be able to evaluate through histories, patient forms, consultation, and certain testing the possible and probable cause of her lack of sexual desire. Once diagnosed we offer the “standard of care” and protocols in treating these various symptoms through clinical approach, integrative approach, and in naturopathic solutions that can be utilized by themselves or in combination depending upon the patient.
