Female Sexual Dysfunction
Female Sexual dysfunction
is an
age-related, progressive and highly prevalent problem affecting nearly 30-50
percent of women globally. Sexual activity incorporates interpersonal
relationships, each partner bringing unique attitudes, needs and responses into
the coupling. A breakdown in any of these areas may lead to sexual dysfunction.
The
American Psychological Association (APA) classifies female sexual problems as -
a.
Mental disorders - loss of sexual desire or arousal,
b. Discomfort
during intercourse,
c.
Diminished blood flow to the vagina,
d.
Trauma-related aversion to sex,
e.
Inability to achieve orgasm.
What are the causes of sexual dysfunction
?
The
causes of female sexual dysfunction are poorly defined. The reason for this is
perhaps because sexual intercourse or stimulation is an act that involves many
systems to function in harmony for it to reach the stage of orgasm.
To
simplify its understanding it is best divided depending on the system that
predominates in the dysfunction. Sometimes there may be multiple factors
leading to the dysfunction Below are few of the causes that can case sexual
dysfunction.
The most common are listed first.
¬ Alcohol
¬ Anxiety
¬ Depression - an unhappy relationship or abuse (now or in the
past) can also cause sexual problems.
¬ Emotional problems; distraction Illness
¬ Negative body perception Stress- the stresses of everyday life
can affect your ability to have sex.
¬ Being tired from a busy job or caring for young children may
make you feel less desire to have sex.
¬ You may have less sexual desire during pregnancy, right after
childbirth or when you are breast-feeding.
¬ After menopause many women feel less sexual desire, have vaginal
dryness or have pain during sex.
What are the diagnostic Tests that might
be done?
These
are not undertaken commonly. However more recently a few investigations are
available.
1.
Vaginal pH testing
2.
Vaginal photoplethysmography

1)
Vagnial pH testing It is commonly performed by gynecologists and urologists to
detect bacteria-causing vaginitis.A probe is inserted into the vagina which
takes the reading.Decreasing hormone levels and diminished vaginal secretion
associated with menopause cause a rise in pH (over 5), which is easily detected
with the test
2)
Vaginal photoplethysmography. It is used to measure Vaginal blood flow and
engorgement (pooling and swelling of vaginal tissue)For the procedure an
acrylic tampon-shaped instrument inserted in the vagina and it uses reflected
light to sense flow and temperature.
3)
Biothesiometer: A small cylindrical instrument may be used to assess the
sensitivity of the clitoris and labia to pressure and temperature.
What are the treatment options available?
There
are three primary types of treatment for female sexual dysfunction: When blood
flow, hormone levels, and sexual anatomy are normal - Education on female
anatomy, arousal and response can help; when there is hormonal dysfunction
(especially in post menopausal women) - homoeopathic medicines can be
considered and is found to be helpful.
