Today, we're covering sexual interest and arousal disorder. This is one of the 5 different types of sexual dysfunction which include: female sexual interest/arousal disorder, female orgasmic disorder, genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder, substance/medication-induced sexual dysfunction, and other specified or unspecified sexual dysfunction. It is not uncommon for one of these types to cause a domino effect and lead to others.
This topic can often be covered at a well woman’s yearly exam. Screening questions may include: Any pain or discomfort with intercourse? Concerns with orgasms or arousal? However, due to the uncomfortability of this topic, these questions may be avoided by some healthcare providers.
In this conversation, we will define sexual interest arousal disorder, discuss symptoms, and clarify what would trigger an official diagnosis. With approximately 40% of women experiencing sexual dysfunction, it's important to remember that the female sexual response is not linear, but rather circular.
We're breaking down treatment options, both cream and oral medications, and also consider male factors that may influence a woman's experience. Also, we will discuss the non-pharmacological methods women can be counseled on which may also be a great option!
If any of this information may fit you, please seek out a healthcare provider that will listen to your concerns and help find the best treatment options for you.
