Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships. It is one of the most neglected parts of an individual's health. Sexual health is not adequately covered in the medical education curriculum of Nepal. There is a lack of clinicians practising sexual medicine, which provides a fertile field for quacks in this arena. Sexual health needs to be included and incorporated into medical education. The policymakers and stakeholders need to address this need in sexual health urgently and effeciently. Comprehensive sexual education should be included for children, adolescents and young adults.

性健康需要对性和性关系采取积极和尊重的态度。它是个人健康最被忽视的部分之一。尼泊尔的医学教育课程没有充分涵盖性健康。从事性医学的临床医生也很缺乏，这为该领域的庸医提供了肥沃的土壤。性健康需要被纳入医学教育。政策制定者和利益相关者需要紧急而有效地满足这一性健康需求。应该为儿童、青少年和年轻人提供全面的性教育。
