Sexual dysfunction involves issues related to the reproductive system and sexual function in both men and women, so it is recommended to seek care from a urology or andrology department. For male patients, both urology and andrology departments can provide comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services, including medication and surgical interventions, to improve erectile function, ejaculation problems, and other concerns. Female patients may experience symptoms such as decreased libido or pain during intercourse, and they may also consider consulting a gynecologist, who can offer specialized evaluation and treatment recommendations for the female reproductive system. Patients with sexual dysfunction should choose the appropriate specialty department based on their individual needs to receive comprehensive and personalized treatment. Additionally, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits and a positive psychological state can have a beneficial impact on improving sexual function.
