Sexual concerns are common among patients; however, evidence suggests that these concerns are not appropriately investigated. This book aimed to assess primary care physicians' attitudes toward sexual dysfunction, and factors affecting its management. It is necessary for primary care physicians who treat health problems to receive training in the areas of human sexuality and sexual dysfunction so they can give more comprehensive treatment. A considerable number of patients with a variety of sexual dysfunctions are frequently encountered, in the face of lack of training at both undergraduate and postgraduate education. So, this book tries to provide some basis to understand and assimilate these sexual health related issues in an organized and scientific approach and hopefully to be better prepared to help patients in a more efficient way. Based on the recommendations from the participants, several steps were undertaken to improve sexual health service in Bahrain.
