Many women face specific challenges in their sexuality throughout their lives. Issues such as arousal disorders, vaginismus, and dyspareunia affect both physical and mental well-being. Changes due to events like pregnancy, childbirth, or menopause can also impact sexuality. Sex therapy for women addresses these challenges to find individual solutions and develop a better understanding of one's body and sexuality. The aim is to enhance well-being and sexual satisfaction in the long term.
Arousal disorder
An arousal disorder in women can have various causes, ranging from hormonal fluctuations to psychological stress and relationship conflicts. Affected women often experience a reduced sexual desire or difficulty in achieving arousal. In sex therapy, these causes are carefully explored. Therapeutic approaches help strengthen body awareness and identify stressors. The goal is to enable a healthy and fulfilling sexual experience again.
Vaginismus refers to involuntary muscle tension in the pelvic floor that makes sexual intercourse painful or impossible. The origin often lies in fears, shame, or negative experiences deeply rooted in the subconscious. Therapy aims to identify and gradually address the physical and emotional triggers. With targeted relaxation exercises and a gentle building of trust in one's own body, a pain-free and positive sexual experience can be achieved.
Dyspareunia
Dyspareunia refers to pain during sexual intercourse, which can have physical or psychological causes. Factors such as hormonal changes, stress, or traumatic experiences often contribute to this. In sex therapy, the causes are sensitively explored, and individual coping strategies are developed. Through a holistic approach that integrates physical, emotional and psychological aspects, women can learn to experience their sexuality without pain and improve their quality of life.
Pregnancy and childbirth bring enormous physical and emotional changes that can also affect sexuality. Hormonal shifts, physical discomfort, and new responsibilities can lead to significant changes in sexual life. Sex therapy provides support for expectant and new mothers to help them feel comfortable in this new phase of their sexual life.
