Thermography, The New Sexual Diagnostic

In the near future men and women who suffer from sexual dysfunction will be required to submit themselves to something called Thermography. By using this new technique, levels of sexual arousal can be measured by detecting differences in the heat given off in various parts of the body. The Thermography technique has not been perfected yet but scientists from the McGill University in the United States who published their research in The Journal of Sexual Medicine reckon that soon it could be standard diagnostic treatment for all sexual dysfunction in men and women.

The benefits of Thermography are that it is not as intrusive as other methods and doesn’t require a doctor physically examining your private parts that is why many people are too embarrassed to get proper treatment. It is also very effective in diagnosing sexual problems in women as it is in men and it doesn’t require a woman to have electrodes and temperatures monitors placed all over her body that often affected the level of her sexual arousal in the first place.

The researchers noted that men and women had similar temperature patterns when aroused sexually and that they reached peak temperature in more or less the same time. The Thermography will be probably more useful for female sexual dysfunction than for male erectile dysfunction as the exact reason for FSD tends to be more difficult to diagnose whereas male erectile dysfunction tends to be a more simple physical problem involving the penile artery.

Millions of pounds keep pouring into any new diagnostic methods and treatment for female sexual dysfunction because investors realise the vast potential for any effective cures for the problem. It is estimated that the FSD market could be much bigger than the current market for Viagra, Cialis and Levitra. Any new treatments for FSD could well be tested in clinical trials using this new Thermography method.
