A highly prevalent condition that has only recently begun to amass significant evidence for treatment, the Female Sexual Dysfunction Spectrum includes hypoactive sexual desire, sexual aversion disorder, sexual arousal disorder, dyspareunia, vaginismus, and other associated conditions.
Testing, evaluating, and treating patients with FSD, requires an extensive effort in identifying and correlating deficiencies and other medical considerations including drug interaction, as well as psychological, hormonal, and social factors.
