Sometimes the body is fine, but the mind gets in the way. Psychosexual concerns are common and treatable, especially with a doctor who understands both sides.
What are psychosexual problems?
Psychosexual problems are sexual difficulties driven, at least partly, by psychological or emotional factors, such as anxiety, stress, past experiences, relationship tension or low confidence, rather than a purely physical cause. Because Dr. Khare is both a sexologist and a psychiatrist, she's especially suited to helping where mind and intimacy meet.
Common signs
- Difficulty with intimacy despite good physical health
- Performance anxiety or fear of intimacy
- Avoidance of sex due to stress or past experiences
- Loss of desire linked to mood or relationship strain
- Guilt, pressure or worry around sex
