Female Sexual Response

A normal sex life is an important part of life and relationships. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an important cause of sexual dysfunction both in men and women. This problem is more difficult to diagnose and treat in women than in men because of the intricacy of the female sexual response. Also, the literature is limited addressing female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in DM, and this aspect of female health, is often ignored in clinical practice in women with DM. Early screening, diagnosis, and appropriate counseling are the cornerstone for managing FSD in women with DM. The current review aims to update the scenario of prevailing sexual dysfunction faced by the women with diabetes, their etiology, diagnostic approaches, and its management.

Generally, use of herbal medicine is a safe and effective therapeutic method in the treatment of women with sexual dysfunction. The role of herbal and nutritional supplementation in female sexual function has attracted researchers’ interest in recent years. This study aimed to the evaluation of the studies focusing on the herbal medicine on women sexual function and the assessment of its effectiveness.

Female Sexual Response

The female sexual response is highly variable and multifaceted and is a result of interplay of physiological, psychological and interpersonal factors. The advent of technology and non-invasive functional brain imaging has provided a map of the regions of the brain involved in sexual arousal and the neurochemistry that underlies the process. However, this increase in the understanding of the biological basis of female sexuality has only reinforced the role of interpersonal and cultural factor in the sexual response, specially the genesis of sexual desire. An acceptance of this by professionals, has led to the consensus for a more holistic biopsychosocial approach for the management of female sexual concerns. The presentation will discuss the current research on the neural and hormonal basis for female desire and explore the role of sexual desire as a motivator and a force for sexual activity in the context of the prevailing models of the female sexual response. There is a need for the recognition of the place and value of sexual desire in the female sexual response and an appreciation that whereas there is a biological 'drive', this is tempered by the motivational aspect (individual and relationship psychology) and the cultural and moral overlay of values and attitudes. This will in turn provide the milieu for understanding normal and dysfunctional sexual desire and assist us on the road to discovering a best practice model for the diagnosis and management of 'female desire disorders'.

Female Sexual Response

The aim of this study was to develop a simple method of assessing female sexual response, suitable for use in clinical investigations. Following a review of interview, physiological and psychological methods, a Scale of Sexual Response was developed. Sexually dysfunctional women and women who stated they had no sexual problems completed the Scale. The results demonstrated that 11 of the 15 subscales had concurrent validity. The 4 subscales relating to auto eroticism did not distinguish between groups. Significant changes were demonstrated in 4 subscales following successful therapy of the sexual dysfunction. The scale was shown to be reliable.

The Relationship

Sexual dysfunctions have been the most prevalent group of sexual disorders and include a large number of populations of both sexes. The research of sexual behavior and treatment of women with sexual distress arises many questions related to differences in sexual response of men and women. The conceptualization of this response in modern sexology has changed over time. The objective of our paper was to present the changes and evolution of the female?s sexual response concept in a summarized and integrated way, to analyze the expanded and revised definitions of the female sexual response as well as implications and recommendations of new approaches to diagnostics and treatment according to the established changes. The lack of adequate empirical basis of the female sexual response model is a critical question in the literature dealing with this issue. Some articles report that linear models demonstrate more correctly and precisely the sexual response of women with normal sexual functions in relation to women with sexual dysfunction. Modification of this model later resulted in a circular model which more adequately presented the sexual response of women with sexual function disorder than of women with normal sexual function. The nonlinear model of female sexual response constructed by Basson incorporates the value of emotional intimacy, sexual stimulus and satisfaction with the relationship. Female functioning is significantly affected by multiple psychosocial factors such as satisfaction with the relationship, self-image, earlier negative sexual experience, etc. Newly revised, expanded definitions of female sexual dysfunction try to contribute to new knowledge about a highly contextual nature of woman?s sexuality so as to enhance clinical treatment of dysfunctions. The definitions emphasize the evaluation of the context of women?s problematic sexual experiences.

Individual Woman

Female sexual dysfunction can greatly affect a woman's quality of life. Affected patients need a comprehensive assessment that includes taking a sexual history, medical evaluation and, if appropriate, a manual examination in order to diagnose, treat or identify factors relevant for each individual woman. There may be biological, psychological, emotional and relationship issues. Any biological factors such as vaginal dryness, pelvic floor dysfunction or chronic pain need to be addressed first to help prevent more complex problems developing. Sexual problems may be the cause of or the result of dysfunctional or unsatisfactory relationships. Psychological and emotional factors can create difficulties in sexual response and, equally, they can be the result of unaddressed or untreated biological/medical issues. Nurses working in urology need to be aware of the physiology involved in sexual response and know which conditions and illnesses are likely to affect sexual functioning and which treatments can help.
