Who is Dr Camiel Welling and what does he do?

As a medical doctor, Dr Camiel prescribes people hormones and he is specialising in becoming a sexologist- after his certification, he can give advice related to sexual health, sexual life as well and sexual pleasure.
Why do we need sexual health support?
When we talk of hormones we forget about the body but sexuality which is so important, we forget to focus on that.
This could be because of the shame that we feel in discussing sexuality or talking about being sexually active. Hormones have a lot of impact on our health so we must include sexual education in it. Not only sexual urges but also sexual life and reproduction. We should include every aspect of the hormone’s impact which is more than just about the body. Hormones change our bodies but they also change our emotions, sexual life as well as reproduction.
