Female sexual disorders: Treatment options in the pipeline 

 

Female sexual problems are best conceptualized from a bio psychosocial perspective that includes biological, psychological, sociocultural, and interpersonal factors. Treatment also follows a biopsychosocial model and options include psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, physical therapy, and complementary approaches alone or in combination.

This article focuses on emerging treatment options for female sexual disorders. Currently, only 2 treatment options for female sexual complaints are approved by FDA: 1) The Eros clitoral stimulator, approved in 2000 for female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD); and 2) conjugated equine estrogen, approved in 2008 for treatment of moderate to severe dyspareunia.

A woman’s sexual responsiveness is not the same as a man’s. Ignoring its complexity can make difference look like dysfunction.

The more things change, the more they remain the same. Just when it began to seem as though gender-specific medicine was here to stay, medical research in males is once again being applied to women. The success of sildenafil (Viagra) in treating erectile dysfunction in men has spawned a spate of studies of that drug in women, which have shown little promise. It has also given rise to a movement to establish female sexual dysfunction (FSD) as a new disease category, just as erectile dysfunction had been in the 1990s. 

Coming up with a definition

The implied parallel between FSD and male impotence is deceptive. The word “dysfunction” — medical parlance for anything that doesn’t work the way it should — suggests that there is an acknowledged norm of female sexual function. That norm has never been established. Unlike penile erection, which is a quantifiable physical event, a woman’s sexual response is qualitative. It embodies desire, arousal, and gratification — and it can’t be measured objectively. Without an empirical standard by which to assess female sexual function, it would seem difficult, if not impossible, to come up with criteria for female sexual dysfunction.

Question(s):

How can erection problems be treated? How can I get Erection Help? Describe erectile dysfunction treatment.

Answer:

The treatment of an erection disorder can be divided by a specialist into a psychological treatment, a medicinal treatment or a treatment with devices. A psychological treatment looks at the possible psychological causes. The partner, if any, is usually involved. There are different forms of psychological treatment (see sex therapy). Depending on the problem, attention can be given to certain exercises e.g relaxation and caressing exercises, the communication between the partners, the thoughts and feelings when making love and the sex pattern.

 

 

Furthermore, attention is given to any other focus of attention when making love, especially physical perceptions. Changing the existing thoughts and feelings around the problems is also important. For many people, concentration and sexual fantasies are important to get an erection.

Sexual Problems in Women - Topic Overview

What are sexual problems?

A sexual problem means that sex isn't satisfying or positive for you. In women, common sexual problems include feeling little or no interest in sex, having problems getting aroused, or having trouble with orgasm. For some women, pain during intercourse is a problem.

Most women have a sexual problem at one time or another. For some women, it's ongoing. But your symptoms are only a sexual problem if they bother you or cause trouble in your relationship.

There is no "normal" level of sexual response, because it's different for every woman. You may also find that what's normal at one stage of your life changes at another stage or age. For example, it's common for a tired mother of a baby to have little interest in sex. And it's common for both women and men to have less intense sex drives as they age. This is linked in part to hormone changes in the body.
 

What are some causes of sexual problems in women?

Female sexuality is complex. At its core is a need for closeness and intimacy. Women also have physical needs. When there is a problem in either the emotional or physical part of your life, you can have sexual problems.

Is my vagina normal? +Sexual Health in Faith Traditions (SHIFT) Study +Sexual Health Research Network +Sexual Health Rankings 

Vaginas are designed to help us have and enjoy sex, have periods and have babies. But what’s normal and what’s not? Find out how vaginas can be different.

Dr Suzy Elneil, consultant in urogynaecology and uro-neurology at University College Hospital, London, has worked with a lot of women. “Like people, vaginas are completely individual,” she says. “No two are the same.”

Don’t compare yourself to anyone else – what someone else’s vagina looks like is normal for them, but won’t necessarily be what’s normal for you. Yours is unique.

The vagina and vulva

Some of a woman’s sexual organs are inside the body (such as the womb, ovaries and vagina) and some are outside. The external organs are known as the vulva. This includes the opening of the vagina, the inner and outer lips (labia) and the clitoris, which is located at the top of the vagina.

It's the body part that men arguably value the most, so you owe it to your penis to always keep it clean, healthy and fit for purpose.

Give it the care it deserves and you may not be the only one to benefit – your partner will probably be grateful too.

Gently wash the penis with warm water each day when you're having a shower or bath. If you have a foreskin, pull it back gently and wash underneath. 

If you don't wash underneath the foreskin correctly, a cheesy-looking substance called smegma may begin to gather.

Smegma is a natural lubricant that keeps the penis moist. It's found on the head of the penis and under the foreskin. 

If smegma builds up in the foreskin, it can start to smell, stop you easily pulling your foreskin back and become a breeding ground for bacteria. This can cause redness and swelling of the head of your penis, called balanitis.
