In a country known for the Kamasutra, sexual health still remains a taboo topic, hindering individuals from seeking help for intimate issues. Recent movies like OMG -2 and Doctor G shed light on the urgent need to address sexual health in society. According to recent statistics, 43% of women and 31% of men experience some form of sexual dysfunction, with individuals often facing multiple issues simultaneously.
Dr. Anita Shyam, MD, and CMO of Qurex, emphasizes the importance of creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for patients to discuss their sexual health concerns. She suggests using models like PLISSIT (Permission, Limited information, Specific suggestion) to facilitate conversations and provide quick intervention strategies in clinical practice. Additionally, self-administered sexual functioning scales/questionnaires can be utilized to ease the discomfort of discussing sexual health.
Taking a few extra minutes during consultations to address sexual health can help build a stronger doctor-patient relationship. Qurex, India’s first Digital Sexual health platform, prides itself on offering professional and scientific solutions for sexual health issues, aiming to create a safe and sex-positive environment for patients.
By breaking the silence and stigma surrounding sexual health, individuals can access the necessary support and resources to improve their overall well-being in this crucial aspect of their lives.
