Abstract
Sexual health is a fundamental aspect of overall well-being and quality of life, encompassing physical, emotional, mental, and social dimensions related to sexuality. Dysfunction in any of these areas can lead to significant distress for individuals and their partners. This case report details the presentation, diagnostic workup, and multidisciplinary management of a 48-year-old male presenting with erectile dysfunction (ED) and decreased libido, alongside his 46-year-old female partner experiencing dyspareunia and anorgasmia. The couple's sexual health issues were intertwined with underlying psychological stressors, relationship dynamics, and physiological factors. Through a comprehensive biopsychosocial approach involving medical intervention, sex therapy, and couples counseling, significant improvements in sexual function, satisfaction, and relationship quality were achieved. This case highlights the complexity of sexual health issues and underscores the necessity of a holistic, patient-centered, and collaborative care model for effective management.
