Today sees medicine as the Era of Pills! Thousands of new drugs
entering the market. However, does that old story that there is a
Elixir of Love is true? The big companies say yes and have dumped a
number of products each year. What is real in all this?
Sexual problems can arise from a number of different causes. May be triggered by physical problems (organic) and / or emotional (psychological). In fact, it would be wrong to say that the causes are additive. And knowing the nature of the problem is too important, for only then can we decide what type or line of treatment should be indicated. But beware! Great care is required. Using these drugs without medical supervision can harm the health of those who are just looking for help. Find a psychiatrist specializing in human sexuality and share that responsibility with people who know about your problem. Do not expose yourself to invasive procedures without a second opinion! The surgery on sexual problems is one of the last treatment alternatives are not effective for most sexual dysfunctions. What are the treatment guidelines? Drug Treatment It is not a miraculous panacea, but if used with a medical indication, seriousness and clarification of its possible side effects, can bring many benefits and even cure. Can be used alone or in combination with one of the techniques of psychotherapy, bringing much better results that way. Some medicines that can be used are called antidepressants, prostaglandins, phentolamine, papaverine, sildenafil (Viagra) and some hormones (in cases organic), among others. Each medication should be chosen according to the profile of patients and their general health conditions. Psychotherapeutic treatment Not all sexual disorder responds well to medication. It is not uncommon to try to use a remedy and it does not work the first time, bringing a number of undesirable effects and even a worsening in the patient's condition. It is not easy for anyone to divide the intimacy of your sex life, even when there is shame and embarrassment because little opening in education and tradition, both family and social. Psychotherapy is a very effective method of treatment, bringing great results. It can be done with the couple or individual. Once started, the person is a preparation for it to understand what's happening in your sex life, realizing your body's reactions to situations negative sexually speaking. There are several forms of psychotherapy, but quite suitable for sexual disorders are cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, the Focus, the Guidance and Analytic Psychodrama. Seeks to bleaching of internal conflicts and concerns that inhibit deep and sex life. The technique employs cognitive-behavioral tasks and sexual exercises. The technique Focal and Guidance Analytical offers interpretations and confrontations to the patient so that it becomes aware of their repression, in order to change. Psychodrama uses theater exercises and experiences for the preparation of individual and interpersonal problems. To the extent that psychotherapy is developed, there is greater trust between the sex therapist and patient. Thus, when the medication is prescribed, it is much better tolerated. The confidence in the psychiatrist is essential. Surgical Treatment This is the last option of treatment for sexual disorders. It is usually indicated when there is confirmation of a physical problem or when all other therapies have failed. In chronic diabetics, for example, the penile prosthesis has been a way to restore sexual function and self-esteem. But exposure to such invasive treatment must necessarily be so accompanied by a team, especially for a sex therapist, ensuring lower rates of treatment failure.
