Abstract: | Whose job is it to discover and manage patients' sexual concerns? If you believe that you have a role to play, just what is that role and how will you perform it? Sexual disorders are common, yet infrequently diagnosed. A willingness to inquire about sexual function is the most critical diagnostic step for clinicians. Once a problem is discovered, a systematic diagnostic process can uncover etiologic organic and psychogenic factors using customary diagnostic tools, including taking a psychosexual and medical history, comprehensive and focused physical examinations, psychological assessment instruments, laboratory tests, and special procedures. |
