Female Sexual Dysfunction

Female sexual dysfunction is an umbrella term that encompasses several facets of sexuality in terms of desire, arousal, orgasm, and/or sexual pain. Persistent, recurrent problems with sexual arousal, desire, orgasm, or pain that distress the patient or strain the relationship with their partner are known as sexual dysfunction. Female sexual dysfunction can occur at any stage of life and can drastically curtail quality of life for many women. It is reasonable that all physicians, surgeons, and health care professionals have basic education and tools available to guide patients and to assist clinicians of possible causes and treatment strategies.
