background & aim: female sexual function (fsd) is a multifactorial phenomenon. sexual function is influenced by different personal and environmental factors. this study aimed to evaluate fsd and its contributing factors using female sexual function index (fsfi). methods:this descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 264 women referring to 11 health centers of sabzevar, iran during octo...

Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a common side effect of cancer and cancer treatments. Assessing for sexual dysfunctions in women with cancer is a vital component of helping women to have better, more satisfying sexual experiences. FSD is not widely addressed in most healthcare facilities or by healthcare providers, but it is a topic that all providers should be discussing with their female p...

BACKGROUND Obesity is rapidly increasing worldwide with negative effects on women's health, psychosocial factors and quality of life. Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a major public health problem that is worrying for many women physically, emotionally and socially. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of body weight with FSD and sexual satisfaction, in Il...

INTRODUCTION Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is an often underestimated and common problem with serious effects on women's quality of life. Despite a high overall prevalence in the female population--exceeding that of male sexual dysfunction--until recently, little research has focused on this area. In contrast to the successful advances of genetic research in a wide variety of human diseases, ...

The consequences of host-parasite coevolution are highly contingent on the qualitative coevolutionary dynamics: whether selection fluctuates (fluctuating selection dynamic; FSD), or is directional towards increasing infectivity/resistance (arms race dynamic; ARD). Both genetics and ecology can play an important role in determining whether coevolution follows FSD or ARD, but the ecological condi...

BACKGROUND Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is an important but controversial problem with serious negative impact on women's quality of life. Data from twin studies have shown a genetic contribution to the development and maintenance of FSD. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 2.5 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 1,104 female ...

BACKGROUND Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a multidimensional problem combining biological, psychological and interpersonal elements of multiple etiologies. Menopause-related sexual dysfunction may not be reversible without therapy. Hormonal deficiency does not usually decrease in severity over time. Many options are available for the successful treatment of postmenopausal FSD. OBJECTIVE T...

Linear stochastic programming problems with first order stochastic dominance (FSD) constraints are non-convex. For their mixed 0–1 linear programming formulation we present two convex relaxations based on second order stochastic dominance (SSD). We develop necessary and sufficient conditions for FSD, used to obtain a disjunctive programming formulation and to strengthen one of the SSD-based rel...

Introduction. Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a very common disorder, with an estimated prevalence of having at least one sexual dysfunction of about 40%. Aim. To investigate the prevalence and types of FSD and the relationship between hormonal contraception (HC) and FSD in female German medical students. Main Outcome Measures. Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) with additional questions on...
