Gynaecological Visits Should Include "sex Counselling"
Gynaecological visits should not be limited to tests and/or prescriptions for contraceptives, but should be used for sex/relationships counselling, according to a thesis.
The thesis at Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden has revealed that women, doctors and midwives all share the above view.
It showed that many young women see sex as a problem-almost 500 women aged 23-29 answered questions about their sex lives, their relationships and how they view gynaecological visits.
One in five had a reduced sex drive and found it difficult to be satisfied together with their partner.
Just as many said that they had been taken advantage of sexually or experienced other forms of sexual abuse.
"Many young women actually know little about their sexuality. If you feel confident about your body and understand how it works, sex is much easier and much more fun," said midwife Eva Wendt, who wrote the thesis.
The survey revealed that nine out of ten young women think it natural to be asked questions about sexuality at a visit to a gynaecologist or midwife.
Seven out of ten think it natural to be asked questions about sexual abuse.
