Intimacy and Parkinson's: The Needs of Caregivers
Other solutions
- Medications are available that offer a wide selection of treatments for sexual issues. Therapy is good, and sex therapy offers psychologic-behavioral-sociological and couple intervention. Problems usually have simple solutions. Take about your erectile dysfunction with a urologist, if you are a man. Talk with your gynecologist if you are a woman. They will give you advice about lubrication, medications, or position changes.
- Explore and discuss changes in your couple intimacy. A good starting point is to discover what you both need. Express your fears and concerns and let your therapist, or the two of you, decide practical strategies to cope with sexual difficulties.
