چکیده

Sexuality is a complex phenomenon, yet an essential part of a healthy life, influenced by biological, psychological and socio-economic factors. Current re-conceptualisation of women's sexual response acknowledges that they have many reasons for engaging in sex beyond sexual desire. Women are increasingly becoming aware of their sexuality and demand sexual fulfilment more than ever before and when that is not realised there may be personal distress. Female sexual dysfunction is prevalent in all populations and cultures globally. However, very few women seek medical help due to belief that the problem is not serious, challenges with access to or affordability of care and lack of awareness of available treatments. It's also infrequently diagnosed, due to lack of awareness among health care providers. Case scenarios on female sexual dysfunction managed by the author are presented with the aim of raising awareness among health professionals. Possible strategies to address the problems are proposed.
