Analysis of the phenomenon of sexology consultations in Africa

Sexuality in Africa is highly complex, marked by both challenges and progress, especially with the advent of colonization, it is difficult to identify Negro-African cultures and what has been imported or borrowed. This study examines the socio-cultural factors that influence medical consultations in the urban and rural areas of Bandundu, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.It aims to understand how taboos, traditional beliefs and social norms shape health-seeking behaviour. The study combined descriptive and analytical methods to provide a detailed picture of socio-cultural and demographic determinants.A little-known discipline in the urban-rural environment, as well as the absence of documented data on the subject, motivated us to carry out this survey.
