Abstract
Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a common disease that affects many women, and there are few therapeutic options available. Female sexual dysfunction is a progressive and prevalent illness that affects more women as they get older. Reduced vaginal lubrication, soreness and discomfort during intercourse, a decreased sense of excitement, and difficulties achieving orgasm are all common signs of female sexual dysfunction. Only a small percentage of women seek medical help. In comparison to the vast amount of study and treatment for erectile dysfunction in men, female sexual dysfunction has received far less attention, with treatment mostly consisting of psychological therapy. The aim of the chapter is to provide the most current knowledge on female sexual dysfunction, advances in basic science addressing this dysfunction, and explore developing therapeutic options.
