The first specialized women''s sexual health clinic

It opened at Dr. Samir Abbas is the first clinic specialized in treating sexual problems for women. Samir Abbas is the first clinic specialized in treating sexual problems for women. This clinic is run by Dr. Amani Shaltout is a consultant gynecologist. About this experience, Dr. says. Amani Shaltout: Despite the prevalence of sexual problems among women in a way similar to what is present in men, women rarely resort to the doctor to treat this problem, and this matter is due to several things, the first of which is: modesty and the way of upbringing that makes the woman shy of complaining about these matters.

Second: The absence of sound sexual information and awareness of men and women, despite the fact that the instructions of the Islamic religion and the noble Prophet’s Sunnah include a lot of cohabitation etiquette and the rights of men and women.

Third: A woman’s lack of confidence in the presence of a gynecological treatment for her problem at the doctor.

At the beginning of work in this specialized unit, the number of hesitant patients was small, but with the passage of time the number of women became much greater, either by informing them of the medical leaflets in the center or through their friends who received treatment at the unit.

About the type of problems that women can encounter, Dr. says. Amani Shaltout said that there are many complaints that women can suffer from, the most important of which is the lack of sexual desire or the difficulty of responding to the husband, as well as the presence of the mother accompanying the marital relationship and some of these problems are psychological and others are organic, as in cases of rupture after childbirth or hormonal imbalance as well as diabetes and others. The majority of these complaints are easily treatable.

Among the important activities of the unit is to provide correct information about the nature of the marital relationship, whether for the newlyweds or the acquisition of the natural changes that the woman undergoes such as pregnancy and menopause.
