The 5 forms of sexual dysfunction in women – healthmag.gr

Sexual dysfunction does not only afflict men. It is estimated that 43% of women experience some form of sexual dysfunction, which makes them feel frustrated and angry, but also that they are not so much of a woman. Evidence from international scientific studies has shown that up to 75% of women will experience pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse at some point in their lives.

Sexual problems in women can occur in various phases and at any age, although they are usually associated with hormonal disorders, occurring in menopause, pregnancy or immediately after childbirth. These women usually have little to no desire for sex. They may, of course, have sexual desire, but this may be accompanied by an inability to arouse or maintain it, even by an inability to achieve orgasm. Last, but not least, is pain, which many women of young or more mature age feel during intercourse. All this affects the woman’s psyche and by extension her behavior and relations with her partner.
