Sexual medicine is a subdiscipline of clinical medicine that deals with human sexuality and disorders. Sexuality eludes a unilateral definition. As a biologically, psychologically, and socially determined experience dimension of the human being, its individual form depends on biological factors and developments in the person's life. Moreover, sexuality exhibits different dimensions--lust, reproduction, and relationship--that are indeed closely interrelated. For this reason, directing therapy at only one of these dimensions is not adequate. All human beings are programmed toward fulfillment of elementary biopsychosocial needs such as acceptance, closeness, warmth, and security. If these basic needs are shortchanged in terms of fulfillment, all sorts of restrictions in the quality of life ensue, even to the point of resultant disorders of sexual function. Treatment then approaches the roots when it does not center on the sexual dysfunction but rather on the underlying frustrated relationship of the partners. Syndyastic sexual therapy is an important treatment method in sexual medicine.
性医学是临床医学的一个分支学科，涉及人类性行为及性功能障碍。性的定义并非单一。作为人类在生物学、心理学和社会层面所决定的体验维度，其个体形式取决于生物学因素及个人生活经历的发展。此外，性具有不同维度——欲望、生殖和关系——且这些维度确实紧密相连。因此，仅针对其中一个维度进行治疗是不够的。所有人都有满足诸如被接纳、亲密、温暖和安全感等基本生物心理社会需求的本能。如果这些基本需求在满足方面受到忽视，生活质量就会出现各种限制，甚至导致性功能障碍。当治疗并非以性功能障碍为中心，而是针对伴侣潜在的关系受挫问题时，才触及了问题的根源。协同性性治疗是性医学中的一种重要治疗方法。
