Case StudiesThese case studies are designed to be completed after you have studied the content in each module, but you can complete them at any time you feel ready. Case studies allow you to apply what you have learned in this course to real-world situations. Case Study #1: A 38-year-old man comes for
health services because over the last six months, he has been experiencing
the occasional inability to become erect. His relationship is satisfying,
and he usually enjoys the sexual aspect of his life. The man is concerned
that the situation will worsen. If dysfunction, what is the condition? What could be contributing
factors to the man’s occasional inability to become erect? Case Study #2:A 28-year-old woman in a sexually
exclusive relationship of one year wants to know if she is normal because
she does not always have orgasm but enjoys sex with her partner and feels
satisfied. Her friend told her that something is wrong if she does not
have orgasm. If dysfunction, what is the condition? What information should you
give this woman regarding the sexual response in women?
Case Study #3:A 55-year-old woman wants
to know why her partner, 10 years her senior, has lost desire for sex,
because he is not always aroused as he used to be, in situations where
he would be “ready to go.” Her partner enjoys sex but states
that it just takes him longer to “get going.” If dysfunction, what is the condition? What could be contributing
factors to the man’s diminished arousal?
Case Study #4:A 49-year-old woman is concerned
that her partner of the same age no longer initiates sexual intimacy.
Her partner has been experiencing irregular menses and low energy for
the past year. Nothing seems to stimulate her partner as it used to before.
When the woman extends foreplay to give her partner more time to respond,
she does not respond as before, and it is beginning to affect their relationship. If dysfunction, what is the condition? What could be contributing
factors to the woman’s lack of sexual responsiveness? Case Study #5: An 18-year-old man has come
to the clinic twice previously complaining of penile discharge. Both times
the findings were negative for infection, and he seems evasive about the
nature of the discharge. By talking to him, you are able to find out that
he has recently had sex for the first time, and that during that encounter,
he ejaculated almost immediately after penile-vaginal insertion. His girlfriend
asked him “Is that it?” He believes there is something wrong
with him and says he hoped the doctors would find the problem if he said
he had a discharge. If dysfunction, what is the condition?
What are the possible factors
involved in this situation?
Case Study #6: A frustrated and concerned
man confides in you that every time he and his new wife attempt lovemaking,
she becomes hysterical and writhes in pain when he attempts vaginal penetration.
He does not want to force her, and they have successfully satisfied each
other through mutual masturbation, but he thinks that something is wrong
or that he is doing something wrong. If dysfunction, what is the condition?
What could be contributing factors to the woman’s pain and inability to have penile-vaginal intercourse?
