Anxiety and Sexual Function & Genital Issues

While anxiety can cause a number of different chances in your body, the reality is that none can cause as much anxiety as problems with your genitals.

The following is an overview of the kinds of mental and physical genital symptoms that can be caused by anxiety (for both men and women), and what can be done about it.

Physical Anxiety-Based Genital Symptoms

无论你是男人还是女人,都会造成基于身体焦虑的生殖器问题会导致更焦虑,最终会使问题变得更糟。

For men, physical symptoms are more obvious and may cause them to question their manhood (as defined by popular culture). The self-doubt involved with these problems can result in cycles of negative and anxious thinking that can result in behavior that may be very harmful both socially and physically (such as overeating, secluding themselves from society or even trying to compensate for their problems through unnecessary and embarrassing behavior). Anxiety about these genital symptoms thereby causes behaviors that can result in further anxiety down the road in a self-perpetuating cycle.

Here are some examples of the physical genital symptoms that cause and may be caused in part by anxiety in men:

Men may also experience perceived physical issues that may not be there. For example, someone with anxiety is more likely to think their genitals have shrunk or look abnormal, when in fact they look perfectly normal.

For women, physical symptoms may be (but are not always) less obvious, and can be socially stigmatizing. Some examples of the physical genital symptoms that can both cause and result in anxiety in women include:

While medications and supplements are available to treat some mental and physical problems (erection stimulant pills for men and vaginal stimulant pills, lotions or gels for women, as well as relaxing but gender-nonspecific herbal supplements such as kava-kava, passionflower or damiana), there are also non-medical routes you can take.

Here are some tips on coping with anxiety-based sex problems:

While it is important for both men and women to reduce anxiety in order to avoid genital symptoms such as the ones described above, it is also important to be safe when engaging in sexual activities so that STD-related symptoms do not crop up whenever anxiety hits.

向您的伴侣询问他们拥有的任何异常症状(以配担和敏感的方式,因为这也可能导致关系中的压力),并且始终使用安全套和/或牙尘器来保护(即使在使用出生控制时)以防止性传播疾病的传播。

If you take care of yourself and stay aware of your partner's needs, it will be easy to keep your sexual relationship anxiety and unpleasant genital symptom-free.
