Overview: It’s estimated that between 40%-60% of women report some degree of sexual dysfunction, which can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life and personal relationships. Even though most clinicians understand the importance and relevance of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), they may not be aware of its prevalence, effective treatments, or how best to inquire about it. Join us as we discuss this condition, its impact on women, and evidence on effective treatments.
