Here is a thoroughly written article from the Washington Post about female sexual dysfunction. It gives great information on current treatments and research. However, I find it discouraging that there are professionals out there that still believe FSD is not a “real” medical condition. My patients are so relieved when they hear from us that their could be a physiologic cause to their FSD. I do not deny that there can be psychological components to FSD, but we have to look at the whole person when treating this condition, especially the physical aspect.
