30% OF SEXUAL DISEASES IN ARMENIA CAUSED BY POOR KNOWLEDGE, SAYS DOCTOR
Tert.am
24.12.10
Thirty percent of sexual diseases in Armenia are a result of
poor knowledge about sexual life, and the Association of Armenian
Sexologists is making a lot of efforts to raise awareness about
the issue.
In a press conference today, Aram Hakobyan, the president of the
association, said that some of the problems related to sexual life
are caused by a worsening of socio-economic situation in the country
and psychological conditions of people.
To live a normal sexual life, according to him, people should first
of all be well informed and have a good sexual education.
"Given sexual life is very intimate ... we decided to launch also an
interactive question-answer [section] on the association's website,
where anyone can post questions and receive doctors' professional
advice," said he.
Ruzanna Azatyan, the director of the sexology clinic at the Mkhitar
Heratsi State Medical University, said that the number of the patients
visiting the clinic has almost doubled in the past five years.
Twenty per cent of the patients are women, 25% are couples, and 55%
are men.
Among the complaints women have as they consult doctors is the decline
of libido. Sexual phobias are another reason with women, while men
usually complain about infertility and premature ejaculation.
Most of the couples turn for help to this clinic before marriage in
an attempt to obtain relevant information about sex life and harmony
for carrying a joint life, Azatyan added.
