Abstract

Female sexual dysfunction is a common patient concern. After providing an overview regarding the various types of female sexual dysfunction, we will focus on history taking and treatment options for desire, arousal, orgasm, and pain disorders. Testosterone therapy and management of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor-associated sexual dysfunction are reviewed. Treatments for atrophic vaginitis are appraised. Patient cases lead the discussion, providing the reader with clinically relevant information.

Keywords: Atrophic vaginitis; Female sexual dysfunction; Hypoactive sexual desire disorder; SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction; Testosterone therapy.
