Abstract

This paper aims at discussing female sexual dysfunction, and how this problem can affect the life and the everyday women, also affecting the physical and the psychological. Individually, sexuality is influenced by family, society, religious beliefs, and changes with age, state of health and personal experiences. However, many professionals are not prepared to assess the sex lives of their patients, or feel uncomfortable in addressing sexuality or because they are unaware of the techniques. Sexual dysfunction in women is defined as any disorder related to sexual desire, arousal, or orgasm, and sexual pain that results in personal suffering, and impact on quality of life. The causes of sexual dysfunction can be psychological, interpersonal conflicts, personal, by contextual factors or psychological, can also be of biological or organic cause in hormonal disorders.
