Overview
Sexual dysfunction is defined as recurrent and persistent issues with sexual response, desire, experience of pain or achieving orgasm.

Shown below is an algorithm summarizing the diagnosis of Sexual dysfunction according the the Journal of Sexual Medicine 2017 Opinion paper on The Diagnosis/Classification of sexual arousal concerns in women and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' Committee Practice Bulletin Summary on Sexual Dysfunction. [11][12]
Seek proper history, ask patients to describe in their own words, what do they mean by sexual dysfunction? This will help distinguish the various causes of sexual dysfunctionThe history should also determine the characteristics, severity, and frequency of dysfunction: ❑ Onset – Abrupt or gradual, relationship to illness or life event ❑ Course – Stable, improving, or worsening ❑ Duration and pattern ❑ Factors that alleviate or exacerbate it ❑ Impact on life – Causing emotional or psychological distress, marital discord? ❑ Any recent changes that the patient has made such as change in contraceptive, any other medication ❑ Menstrual history including menopausal status | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rule out medical conditions such as ❑ Chronic diabetes mellitus ❑ Hypertension ❑ Hypothyroidism ❑ Depression ❑ Psychosis | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Persistent lack of interest in sexual arousal | Difficulty in becoming sexually aroused or maintaining sexual arousal | Diminished ability in achieving orgasm | Pain associated with sexual activity | Other sexual concerns | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Subjective Arousal disorder | Genital Sexual Arousal disorder | Painful intercourse | Pain associated with sexual stimulation | Pain with vaginal entry | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Does nongenital stimulation (visual, mental) cause sexual arousal? | Dyspareunia | Non coital pain disorder | Vaginismus | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| High arousal but no orgasm/very delayed orgasm | Poor arousal and no orgasm | Orgasm present but minimal/low intensity | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Do's
- Encourage patients to discuss sexual health with their primary care provider or obgyn.
- Referral to a psychiatrist may be needed to alleviate patient distress.
- Pelvic floor rehabilitation must be done in patients with dyspareunia.[13]
- Encourage non coital behaviours such as massages to improve communication and understanding between partners.
- Education about sexually transmitted infections must be done to all patients.[14]
- Early identification and treatment can help prevent PID and associated cervical motion tenderness, dyspareunia and even subsequent infertility.[15]
Don'ts
- Don't forget to do an endocrine/hormonal evaluation in patients with sexual dysfunction.
- Oral contraceptive use can cause vaginal dryness which leads to sexual dysfunction. Don't treat patients without taking a proper and thorough drug history.[16]
- Do not do counselling on patients alone, both involved partners must be encouraged to undergo sex education and counselling.
- Do not proceed to genital examination without properly explaining to the patient about the procedure to be done. Some patients might have severe discomfort due to vaginismus or prior trauma.
