Executive Care by Marshall
It is time for a change in Healthcare. Sexual Health in men and women is truly an afterthought in the medical community despite research that overwhelming shows that sexual health is linked to overall health and well-being. .e amount of time medical students spend in education about sexual health is 8 hours. It should come as no surprise that patients rarely receive advice or treatment for their problems from traditionally trained physicians. Less than 50% of OB/GYN physicians feel comfortable talking about female sexual dysfunction. Even more troubling is the sheer ignorance regarding the prescribing of medications that have
devastating effects on Men’s and Women’s Sexual Health.
Mismatched libido, sexual dysfunction, and lack of physical intimacy cause loneliness, depression and relationship deterioration. With so much focus on management of chronic disease in this country, love, connection, and sexual intimacy virtually takes a backseat.
