性功能障碍的诊断与治疗-诊断

性科学检查

除了常规身体检查以外，许多性治疗师使用所谓的性科学检查(sexological examination)，即探测病人或客户的性反应。如果性治疗师不是医生，他们通常请妇科医生会诊，因为这种类型的检查对女病人或女客户更为重要。然而，大多数男性非常了解他们自己的性反应，许多女性却不熟悉自己的性器官机能。性科学检查能帮助他们及其性治疗师了解他们的性反应。

The Treatment of Sexual Dysfunctions - Diagnosis

Sexological Examination

In addition to a standard medical examination, many therapists use a so-called sexological examination, i.e. they explore the patient's or client's sexual responsiveness. If the therapists are not physicians, they usually ask for the help of a gynecologist, because this type of examination is usually more important in the case of women. While most men know their own sexual response quite well, many women are unfamiliar with the functioning of their sex organs. The sexological examination can help them and the therapists in understanding  their sexual responsiveness.
