Gynecologist speaks on sexual problems and their causes in Armenia

“I always assess positively the open discussions on sex, health. And it seems to me that if we want for people to have a healthy sex life, the matter on sex education needs to be raised in schools [in Armenia].”     

Renowned gynecologist Georgi Poghosyan stated the aforesaid Wednesday, during a press conference devoted to World Sexual Health Day. 

As per the specialist, working abroad is a factor that causes sexual problems in Armenia.

“The men are away from their family for months. They will have to satisfy their [sexual] needs. In numerous cases, infections are the cause for the unhealthy sexual condition of men,” Poghosyan said.

In his words, a healthy approach is needed toward sex.    

“Many diseases are caused by lack of sex. A variety of fears develop, too,” the gynecologist added. 

In the specialist’s conviction, there is solely one solution.

“It would be good to pass a law [in Armenia] that each material on sex and sexual life receive a ‘visa’ from a specialist,” he noted.

In addition, as per the gynecologist, it would be good if the state adopt a law, pursuant to which people are required to undergo a medical before getting married.     

“In this way, the number of cases of miscarriages and infertility will reduce [in Armenia],” Georgi Poghosyan concluded.
