 Female Sexual Dysfunction

 Many women experience problems with short term sexual function throughout their lives. If the problem persists for a long period of time, a woman may be experiencing a condition called sexual dysfunction.  This condition is defined as any problem or problems that prevent an individual from enjoying or receiving satisfaction from sexual activity.  This can cause mental distress and impact quality of life.   

 

Symptoms of Female Sexual Dysfunction

The most common symptoms of sexual dysfunction in women may include any of the following:

● Reduced sex drive (libido)

● Inability to maintain sexual arousal during sexual activity

● Inability to achieve an orgasm

● Pain during sexual activity (dyspareunia)

 

Causes of Female Sexual Dysfunction

Women may experience symptoms of sexual dysfunction at any age.  It may be more common as women age.  There are both physical conditions and psychological factors that may contribute to the problem. Common causes of female sexual dysfunction may include the following:

• Hormonal changes such as the postpartum period and menopause or afterhysterectomy

• Chronic illness or diseases

• Medications such as antidepressants, blood pressure medications and antihistamines 

• Excessive alcohol intake

• Stress

• Depression or anxiety

• Past sexual trauma

• Body image issues

 

Diagnosis of Female Sexual Dysfunction

Women who are experiencing sexual dysfunction are advised to speak with their provider about their concerns. During the evaluation, the provider will discuss past sexual, medical and psychological histories to evaluate contributing factors.   A thorough physical examination may be performed to rule out any physical causes for the problem.

 

Treatment for Female Sexual Dysfunction

Providers may treat any underlying medical conditions or refer you to specialist to treat conditions.  Additional treatments may vary depending on the patient and may include:

● Hormone replacement therapy

● Psychological counseling

● Vaginal lubricants

● Reducing stress and anxiety

● Communication with partner about concerns and encouraging improved communication
