20.500.12556/RUL-167896 Destigmatization of erectile dysfunction Erectile dysfunction (ED)is a sexual dysfunction that significantly affects men's quality of life and is often associated with a stigma that makes it difficult to access appropriate treatment. This stigma, which is accompanied by feelings of shame and fear of judg-ment, leads to social isolation and increases psychological distress. ED is often linked to social norms that associate masculinity with strong sexual performance, which fur-ther complicates treatment. Comprehensive strategies to reduce the stigma associated with ED are ofparamount importance. Public health campaigns that raise awareness of the nature of ED and promote open communication about sexual health are essential to dispel myths and reduce the shame associated with this condition. In addition, incor-porating sexual health into routine medical examinations allows for early detection and treatment of ED, which helps to reduce stigma. A culturally sensitive approach that takes into account the specific values in different social settings is also crucial in com-bating stigma, especially in cultures where sexual topics are taboo. When healthcare providers are trained to address ED in a non-judgmental way, men can seek help with-out fear of criticism. Comprehensive strategies, including awareness campaigns, edu-cation and improved access to treatment, are critical to reducing stigma and improving the quality of life for men affected by ED. sexual dysfunction stigma comprehensive strategies sexual health awareness true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Drugo 2025-03-19 14:35:30 2025-03-19 14:35:31 2025-03-20 03:53:18 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 112-119 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 613.88/.89 10.55295/PSL.12.2025.I15 229563395 227883267 https://ebooks.uni-lj.si/ZalozbaUL/catalog/view/723/1104/11318 1 04ba0366-04c6-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200791 RAZ_Dolinar_Larissa_2025.pdf RAZ_Dolinar_Larissa_2025.pdf 1 747451AB4F8FE78A81AECAB549250898 4dbd8023f7b6065ae19632ccab2584d762906702d6c1a49f59e09d35687d31c3 2800db28-04c6-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200792 Zdravstvena fakulteta 0 0 0
