Persistent, recurrent problems with sexual response, desire, orgasm or pain — that distress you or strain your relationship with your partner — are known as sexual dysfunction. Female sexual dysfunction can occur at any stage of life. It can occur only in certain sexual situations or in all sexual situations, and may occur throughout one’s life.

Sexual response is not just about attractiveness or love or attentiveness. It is complex and mixes physiology, emotions, experiences, beliefs, lifestyle and relationships. When any of those components is disrupted, it can affect sexual desire, arousal, and satisfaction.

Types of Female Sexual Dysfunction

Symptoms vary depending on what type of sexual dysfunction you’re experiencing:

• Lack of sexual desire. This most common of female sexual dysfunctions involves a lack of sexual interest and willingness to be sexual.
• Sexual arousal disorder. Your desire for sex might be intact, but you have difficulty with arousal or are unable to become aroused or maintain arousal during sexual activity.
• Orgasmic disorder. You have persistent or recurrent difficulty in achieving orgasm.
• Sexual pain disorder. You have pain associated with sexual intercourse

According to a review of studies, female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a significant public health problem that affects 41% of premenopausal women around the globe. More research and improved standardization are needed in this field. Many women fear that simply because they are going through menopause that they cannot have a fulfilling sex life. If you talk to someone about the issues you will find that some issues that are affecting your sex life may be able to be helped with a compounded medication.
