Demographic changes, the popularity of newer treatments, and greater awareness of sexual dysfunction by patients and society have led to increased diagnosis and associated health care expenditures for the management of this common disorder. Sexual health and satisfaction with sex life are important aspects of quality of life for many, including those in poor health. Because many patients are reluctant to initiate discussion of their sex lives, physicians should address this topic directly to elicit a history of sexual dysfunction. Specifically addressing sexual health should be a routine part of the clinical encounter.
