Psychosexual problems

Abstract 

Sexual problems commonly present in gynaecology clinics. They require both a physical and psychological approach to their management due to the combination of mind and body involvement in sexual activity. The skills involved in psychosexual medicine can be practised by all gynaecologists as they use the consultation and examination to recognise and treat the underlying problem in addition to addressing any physical factors.
