Sexual health is a state of well-being in relation to sexuality across one’s life span, and it is intrinsic to human health. We often hear about the importance of physical, mental, and spiritual health, but feeling confident about your sexuality and achieving sexual health allows for:

• Healthy relationships
• Planned pregnancies
• Disease prevention

Notably, sexual health is free of coercion, fear, discrimination, stigma, shame, and violence. It is essential to be well-informed about all aspects of sexual health and what it takes to have a fulfilling sex life. Similarly, it is important to be aware of factors that can complicate your sexual health. At City OB+GYN, we strive to create an environment that fosters open discussion of sexual health without embarrassment, and we encourage you to bring up concerns and ask questions of your health care provider.
