ISSM Health Policy Statement: hypoactive sexual desire disorder in women.

摘要

Hyporactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) affects around 10% of women across all age groups. It is defined in both the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-IV-TR) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD"10, F52.0). HSDD has deleterious effects upon women's overall health and/or couples' well-being. It may cause psychological, emotional, and/or relationship distress which, in some cases, is severe and debilitating. HSDD can be a major impediment to life satisfaction and happiness; it should never be considered trivial, unimportant, or illusory. HSDD is a medical problem and the healthcare needs resulting from it frequently remain unmet. It deserves greater attention from healthcare professionals across all clinical disciplines.
