Sexual health is important for the overall emotional and physical well-being of a woman.

There are many factors which can lead to the inability to enjoy sex. Sexual needs may vary depending upon stress, personal commitments, ageing, disease, medications and unmet needs that cause differences with the partner.

In the long run, these unmet needs can lead to resentment and isolation. The problems that can affect a woman’s ability to enjoy sex are referred to as sexual dysfunctions that include decreased sexual desire, inability to achieve orgasm, vaginismus and painful intercourse. Majority of women experience one or more of these problems.
