Female sexual dysfunction has always had challenges related to nosological issues due to inadequate research and understanding in this area. The ICD-11 has proposed substantial changes to the classification of conditions related to sexual health. In this review, we have discussed the proposed changes, compared with other classificatory systems and discussed its implications on clinical practice and research in this field. While there have been several progressive moves in the taxonomy of sexual dysfunctions, we have expressed our views on possible changes which can help with better diagnosis and management of sexual problems in women.
