Even though its not discussed enough, a person's sexual health is as important as any other part of their lives. While the conversation around mental health has finally started, talking about one's sexuality and sexual health is still considered a taboo. Sadly, most people associate a concern for sexual health as a sign of promiscuity that discourages many individuals to ask questions and get information regarding these issues.
Sexually transmitted diseases, genital infections, vaginal diseases and penile dysfunctions are hardly discussed in families or among friends. The same goes for sex education. Many young men and women, unaware of their bodies and dangers of unprotected sex, often end up putting their health at risk.
A young married woman, Neerja Shukla from Bombay was unhappy with her marriage since she was facing a medical problem of a sexual nature. Having moved to Mumbai from Kanpur after her wedding, she did not know many people in the city and was scared to discuss her problem with others.
Vaginisums, a condition that affects some women, makes sexual intercourse difficult for some and impossible for others. The condition is a physical and a psychological issue and can be rectified with proper guidance and counseling: a fact, Neerja had no idea about. When she discussed her problem with a childhood friend staying in Delhi, she insisted that Neerja should see a doctor and share her problem with her or him.
Since Neerja was reluctant, her friend Firdaus called up Credihealth and asked us to book an appointment for her. Our in-house doctor suggested some credible gynecologists in Mumbai, Worli area, where Neerja stayed, and made sure she went for the appointment. Once her problem was identified, she soon started her treatment and is now enjoying her married life to the fullest.
