Program Summary:
This CME program is designed to provide a comprehensive update on Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) in postmenopausal women. Sexual function involves biology, chemistry, psychology and interpersonal components. Sexual satisfaction is intricately linked to a person’s quality of life. Sexual dysfunction is characterized by a disturbance in the processes that characterize the sexual response cycle.
Female sexual problems are highly prevalent and often under-treated. Many women complain of low sexual desire, lack of sexual intimacy and pleasure, and sexual avoidance. Discussion will focus on the prevalence, diagnosis and impact of FSD on postmenopausal women. Strategies for initiating conversations with women about their sexuality, the role of androgens in sexual health, the role of the sex therapist, and clinical indications for therapy to improve women's sexual health will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- discuss the characteristics of a healthy female sexual response cycle

- explain hypoactive sexual desire disorder, the leading female sexual problem
