Sexual health is a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity.
Sexuality is experienced and expressed in thoughts, fantasies, desires, beliefs, attitudes, values, behaviours,practices, roles and relationships.
Sexuality is influenced by the interaction of biological, psychological, social, economic, political, cultural, legal, historical, religious and spiritual factors.
Sexual health problems are the result of conditions, either in an individual, a relationship or a society, that require specific action for their identification, prevention and treatment. Most of these sexual health problems can be identified by primary health workers. Some can be addressed by trained health workers at a primary level, but for others referral to a specialist is necessary.
This 2-day update course will highlight some of the common sexual health issues encountered in primary care.
The update course is organised by the Faculty of Family Medicine of the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria in collaboration with Ace Medicare Clinics Limited,Ota.
The event will be hosted at the new hospital complex of the Ace Medicare Clinics Limited, Kilometre 10, Idiroko road, opposite Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State.
