Vallirana’s Primary Care Medical Centre

The Vallirana primary care team is responsible for the healthcare of two small towns, Vallirana and
Cervelló, with a total population between the two of 24,671 inhabitants. A total of 12 family doctors,
two paediatricians, 15 nurses, three nursing assistants and 11 administrative staff are responsible for
the integral health of these two populations.
H
Since a year ago the clinical sexology consultation was created by a sexologist that addresses specific
themes of sexology for the adult population.
I
The objective of this communication is to present the data of sexual dysfunctions reported to date in
these two populations.

By mining the database we find that 220 cases of sexual dysfunction have been reported to date in the
adult population, with the most frequent being erectile dysfunction (57.72%), other sexual dysfunctions
(16.81%), hypoactive sexual desire disorder (13.18%), premature ejaculation (10.45%), dyspareunia
(0.90%) and female orgasmic dysfunctions (0.45%).
The present data do not correspond to the statistics of our country, so we consider that there is a
large underdiagnosis of sexual dysfunctions, we think that family physicians do not have time during
the medical consultation to ask about health or alterations at a sexual level, but we also believe that
they do not have the skills to ask about it, without neglecting the taboo subject of talking about sexual
pathology.
Sexuality is not a much-explored topic in the family physicians’ daily consultation anywhere in the
world; comprehensive sexual health is often overlooked in primary care clinics. Family physicians
should use a proactive, integrated and patient-centred approach to deliver the best sexual health,
including but not limited to the identification and treatment of STIs. Family physicians are in an excellent
position to provide a safe environment in which patients can consensually discuss issues related to sex
and sexuality throughout their lives.
