Sexuality discussable
Even though sexuality seems openly discussable in today's society, when it comes down to personal matters, there often appears to be a barrier to sharing concerns about sex. This also applies to the patient in the consultation room with the acupuncturist. This is unfortunate for two reasons.
First of all
Information about sexual functioning can help the acupuncturist understand the complaint you actually came to the practice for. The whole picture becomes a bit clearer, allowing the acupuncturist to tailor the treatment even better to you. After all, you are not your complaint, but a human being with all aspects of humanity.
Secondly
The acupuncturist can address any discomfort you may have in the area of sexuality during treatment. Sometimes, a complaint in that area may not be your primary concern. However, a healthy and satisfying sex life contributes to your relaxation, mood, and the connection in your relationship. All of this can help you feel strong and healthy again, ready to face the world. By being open about this somewhat challenging topic, both your sex life and the rest of your health can benefit. The following complaints can also be addressed by the acupuncturist.
Specific Women's Complaints
Menstrual problems in all degrees, premenstrual complaints with mood swings and tense breasts, vaginal problems, loss of libido in different life phases, menopause with hot flashes, excessive bleeding, sleep problems and urinary tract infections, guidance in IUI/IVF/ICS trajectory, pregnancy complaints.
Specific Men's Complaints
Impotence, loss of libido, (annoyingly) increased sex drive, reduced fertility, premature or nocturnal ejaculations, prostate problems.
