Genesis of female sexual disorders
Women's sexual problems are widespread, with an incidence variously reported in major studies to range from 25.8% to 91% (4). In a simplistic representation, any impairment of the normal sexual function could result in a form of sexual dysfunction or disorder.
Nevertheless, FSD is often multifactorial since a wide number of organic, psychological, emotional, sociocultural, interpersonal, and intrapersonal factors have been causatively documented through systematic approaches. The resulting impairment may primarily affect the qualities of personal life with secondary impacts on the partner-related sexual satisfaction; any accompanying psychological and emotional distress can also impair normal aspects of daily living. In global studies, the psycho-emotional distress impacting quality of life accounted for approximately 22% in women presenting with any type of sexual difficulty. In an age-differentiated survey on the ‘prevalence of female sexual problems associated with distress and determinants of treatment seeking' (PRESIDE), quality-of-life changes accounted for 8.9% in women aged 18-44 years, 12.3% in women aged 45-64 years, and 7.4% in women older than 65 years (18, 19). Furthermore, with a potential for negative health outcomes, the sexual disorder can be construed as a contributing factor for the economic burden within the healthcare system.
