Sexology studies human sexuality and its biological, psychological, relational and social aspects. It addresses sexual health, wellbeing and intimate behaviour, helping individuals and couples resolve difficulties and develop a fulfilling sex life.
The role of a sexologist physician
Dr Marc Gabrielli diagnoses and treats sexual dysfunction. He can prescribe medication, perform medical assessments to rule out physical causes, and provide therapeutic support to improve sexual wellbeing.
Main concerns
- Sexual dysfunctions: erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, desire or orgasm disorders, painful intercourse and vaginismus.
- Relationship difficulties: support for couples, communication and emotional blocks affecting intimacy.
- Mental health: anxiety, depression and past trauma can affect sexuality; sexology offers a safe, non-judgemental space.
- Life changes: support during menopause, andropause, hormonal changes and chronic illness.
- Sex education: clear information about consent, contraception and prevention of sexually transmitted infections.
Therapeutic approach
Sexology takes a holistic approach, considering physical, psychological and relational factors. Care may include counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, medical treatment and education focused on communication.
