性功能障碍的治疗-性治疗

“传统的”性功能障碍 - 女性性功能障碍的治疗

当女性逐渐产生性兴奋时，她的性器官就开始膨胀，也就是说性器官充血。然后，阴道在10-20秒钟内开始润滑。   When the female becomes sexually excited, her sex organs become tumescent, i.e. engorged with blood. The vagina then begins to lubricate within 10-20 seconds.

这种状况表明这个女子的性反应还没有启动，也就是说，还没有进入性兴奋期。所以，她显然还没有做好性交的准备。对于这种情况，最好告诉男女双方把性交延后和/或继续进行其他方式的做爱活动。另一方面，如果缺乏性兴奋涉及到双方的关系障碍，或者有其他心理方面的原因，则预示着进一步的会诊和需要做某种类型的性治疗。然后，疗程将依每一个个体的病例而定。

但是，在绝经期后的年长妇女，她们的阴道润滑液逐渐缺乏。不管怎样，对于一个女性来说，膨胀不足并不像其性伴一样而需要感到担忧。毕竟，不像阴茎疲软的男性那样，阴道无润滑的女性如果决定进行性交的话，她仍然能够容易地开始性交。有两种改善阴道润滑液缺乏的方法：

The Treatment of Sexual Dysfunctions - Sex Therapy

The “Classic” Dysfunctions - The Treatment of Female Sexual Dysfunctions

This shows that  the woman’s sexual response has not begun, i.e. it has not entered the excitement phase. Therefore she is obviously not ready for coitus. In this case the couple is well advised to postpone it and/or move on to other forms of lovemaking. On the other hand, if the lack of excitement is related to problems in the relationship, or if it has other psychological causes, a more thorough diagnosis and some form of sex therapy may be indicated. The course of treatment will then depend on each individual case.

However, vaginal lubrication may also become inadequate in older women after the menopause. In any case, for a woman inadequate tumescence is not necessarily as upsetting as it would be for her partner. After all, unlike a man with a limp penis, a woman with an unlubricated vagina can still easily begin coitus, if she so chooses. There are two ways of improving the condition:

1. A woman can use artificial lubricants and thus make coitus still possible. Needless to say, such lubricants should always be water-soluble.
    
2. Recently, the pharmaceutical industry has begun looking for a drug that acts on the brain and stimulates sexual desire in both females and males. If needed, and in combination with other drugs, it then could also improve tumescence.
