JAKARTA - Sexual health is often considered taboo to talk about, even though it is an important part of the welfare of the body and mind.
Many people choose to remain silent when experiencing intimate problems, with the hope that the complaint will disappear on its own. Unfortunately, this attitude can actually make the problem worse and lead to serious health problems.
Dr. Priya Gupta, Senior Consultant of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Cocoon Hospital, Jaipur, reminded that there are a number of early signs that should not be ignored. Here are 5 early signs of poor sexual health, as reported by The Health Site page.
1. Pain or Uncomfortability during Transportation
According to Dr. Gupta, pain or discomfort during sex is one of the most overlooked signs.
"Some small but important signals from poor sexual health are consistent pain when in contact. This can be caused by infection, hormone problems, or gynecological disorders or undetected urology. The most important thing is not to expect the pain to go away alone. Immediately consult with medical personnel," he explained.
2. Loss of Desire or Hard to Stimulate
The drastic decrease in the desire to have sex or suddenly not being able to feel passion also needs to be considered. Although it is often associated with stress, new routines, or fatigue, this condition can also be triggered by other factors, such as hormonal deficiency, drug side effects, to early symptoms of chronic diseases such as diabetes or cardiovascular disorders.
3. Change of Fluid, Bau, or Emergence of Injured in the Gender Area
Changes in the body, such as abnormal whiteness, a pungent smell, wounds, or spots in the genital area, should not be underestimated. This condition can be a sign of a sexually transmitted disease that if not treated, has the potential to affect fertility, which causes permanent damage.

4. Arousal And Lubricant Disorders
Erectile difficulties in men or lack of lubrication in women can also be an early symptom of sexual health problems. Dr. Gupta emphasized that this is often related to blood vessels, hormonal, and psychological factors, so it needs to be identified early on.
5. Panggul Pain, Testis, Or Soil Infection
Women who experience repeated urinary tract infections or pelvic pain, as well as men experiencing tester pain, should not delay medical examinations. This condition is often ignored, even though it can be an indication of sexual and reproductive health problems.
Apart from being physical, mental health also plays a major role. Stress, anxiety, and unresolved conflicts can affect sexual life.
"It is important to pay attention to mental health the same as checking physical conditions. Don't hesitate to seek professional help from a counselor or psychiatrist if needed, because this decision can have a huge impact on the quality of life." said Dr. Gupta.
