7. Sexual Symptoms
Sex is one of the most enjoyable acts that we can take part in. In addition to feeling great physically, sex is also a great way to maintain and strengthen bonds in a relationship. It is not so pleasurable for everybody, however, and for many it can even be very painful.
Patients with somatization disorder will sometimes experience pain when they are having sex. Many will also find that they have less of a libido than is usual, and menstruation can be very painful for women. Problems with sexual symptoms are likely to put a strain on a lot of relationships.
