The taboo behind sexual dysfunctions: why many people delay seeking help
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported48m ago
According to data from the Programa de Sexología at the Hospital de Clínicas of the University of Buenos Aires, 54% of the hospital population experiences some form of sexual dysfunction, encompassing difficulties related to desire, arousal, orgasm, or pain. Despite this prevalence, many individuals delay seeking medical consultation due to underlying social taboos.
In a related scientific context, research indicates that millions of women are disproportionately affected by pain compared to men. This disparity is primarily driven by determinants such as fluctuations in ovarian hormones and the influence of sex chromosomes.
