How does female sexual dysfunction manifest?

Anh Sơn |

Until now, many sexual abnormalities when mentioned are usually related to men. So do women have sexual disorders like men? This is really an issue that we need to look at frankly, talking about the objective causes.

Why is female sexual dysfunction rarely talked about?

Doctor Thai Hoang - Family Health Clinic said: First of all, due to different culture and customs than women in the West, sex is considered one of the basic and essential needs of life. Therefore, they often tend to be open about this issue and clearly express it to the other person so that both can sublimate in sex. As for Eastern women, the concept of sex is quite strict.

Because when men are in charge of lovemaking, women will find it difficult to get what they really need. Over time, sex becomes more and more bland, losing desire or even the wife becomes afraid of having to "serve" like that.

What is female sexual dysfunction?

Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) is an umbrella term that covers a variety of problems related to women's sexual function. This disorder can affect any phase of the sexual response cycle, including interest, arousal, orgasm, and satisfaction after sex.

Causes of female sexual dysfunction

The causes of female sexual dysfunction are diverse and complex, but can be grouped into three main causes: physiological, psychological and social factors:

· Physiological causes: Can come from endocrine disorders, such as menopause, metabolic disorders, diabetes or simply from side effects of medications being used.

· Psychological causes: Often mentioned as stress and anxiety at work and in life, from previous negative sexual experiences or simply from self-consciousness about the body as the body enters the aging stage.

· Social causes: Finally, the most complex group of causes are the causes from relationships and society. It can be due to lack of communication leading to misunderstanding, conflicts in family life or simply due to social prejudices that create barriers for women to express themselves.

Dr. Tran Phuoc Duy Bao - Family Health Clinic also shared: From the perspective of an economist, money is probably the tool and measure of happiness. Indeed, in a study by two British economists in the journal Social Science and Medicine, it was concluded that: Increasing the number of times you have sex can bring about the same feeling as earning an additional $50,000.

Or we can also see the advice from long-standing folk songs and proverbs such as "argue at the head of the bed, make up at the end of the bed", all of which emphasize the importance of sexual relations in married life. The absence of sexual relations in married life will directly affect the quality of life.

Symptoms of female sexual dysfunction:

- Anxiety disorder is a condition in which women have little or no interest in sexual activity, causing personal stress or conflict in the relationship.

- Arousal disorder is having difficulty achieving or maintaining sensation during intercourse.

- Orgasmic disorder is difficulty or inability to reach climax after normal foreplay.

- Painful intercourse disorders include problems such as pain during intercourse or involuntary vaginal spasms that cause difficulty for both partners.

Where do women with sexual dysfunction go for treatment?

Women with signs of sexual dysfunction should go to reputable medical facilities to receive advice from specialized doctors. This helps women express and answer their questions. This will help in regulating their own sexuality.
