Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The ideal approach to female sexual dysfunction would be a collaborative effort between therapists and physicians and would include a complete medical and psychosocial evaluation, and inclusion of the partner spouse in the evaluation and treatment process. Despite significant anatomic and embryologic parallels between men and women, the multifaceted nature of female sexual dysfunction clearly is distinct from that of the man. The clinician cannot approach female patients or their sexual function problems in the same fashion as in male patients. The context in which a woman experiences her sexuality is equally if not more important than the physiologic outcome she experiences, and these issues should be determined before beginning medical therapy or determining treatment efficacies.
