ABSTRACT

Sexuality is an essential aspect of human beings, and it is a fundamental part of the lives of older adults. As people get older, there are remarkable biological changes. Sexuality is a dynamic process, and it intervenes in multiple situations. The comprehensive study of the elderly patient represents a challenge for the family physician and at the same time it constitutes a huge area of opportunity. The commitment to provide a complete approach is emphasized, along with working with a multidisciplinary team, in order to maintain the well-being and full enjoyment of sexuality in our patients.
