Sexual Dysfunction In Women
Sex can be an important part of sexual health and pleasure for most people, yet sexual dysfunction in women is a complex and multifaceted issue that’s widely experienced and often underdiagnosed.
Older women
Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is an issue that older women may face as a natural result of aging and hormonal changes, as well as psychological or environmental factors.
Younger women
Sexual dysfunction is a condition rarely addressed amongst younger women. However, statistics at the millennial age bracket are often alarming. It is estimated that 44 to 63 percent of pre-menopausal and postmenopausal women experience some form of sexual dysfunction or disatisfaction. Despite this, younger women don’t often discuss the issue to address it or receive proper help.
Obesity
Female sexual dysfunction is a serious concern among obese women in particular, where contributing factors include lower average testosterone levels, medications, fitness levels, and depression. Health conditions such as obesity are known to contribute to sexual disorders like hypoactive sexual desire disorder and female sexual arousal disorder, as well as various psychological issues such as anxiety or stress.
What is female sexual dysfunction?
Female sexual dysfunction is the umbrella term that is used to describe a wide range of issues that can negatively affect the physical and psychological aspects of a woman’s sexuality & enjoyment. FSD can include difficulties with sexual interest, arousal, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain. It is estimated that up to 40% of women in the US alone experience FSD at some point during their lifetime, making it an increasingly important subject within women’s health.

When does female sexual dysfunction occur?
Female sexual dysfunction is a complex and varied condition that can occur at any point in a woman’s life. However, certain factors may increase the likelihood of it happening such as age, menopausal status, mental and physical health, drug use, and your relationship quality play a role in the development of sexual dysfunction.
Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder
What is the most common sexual dysfunction in women?
The most common form of sexual dysfunction experienced by women is known as Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD), where women simply have no interest in sexual activity or a lack of libido. This condition can present itself as an overall lack of sexual urges or interests, difficulty in becoming aroused and feeling pain during intercourse.
Female Sexual Arousal Disorder
What is female sexual arousal disorder?
Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD) is an under-discussed yet increasingly common disorder that affects the sexual satisfaction of women, caused by an inability to maintain physical arousal despite adequate levels of desire. Common symptoms can range anywhere from lack of interest to difficulty achieving orgasm, and is often associated with Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD).
What is the difference between FSAD and HSDD?
Although similar in many ways, there are important distinctions between the two conditions. FSAD specifically deals with arousal-related issues such as difficulty getting aroused, not feeling arousal sensations, and diminished arousal from touching or caressing; whereas HSDD is more related to a lack of sexual desire or hypoactive sexual desire which can lead to a decrease in interest for sexual activity.
