How the Four Types of Sexual Dysfunction in Women Affect Relationships and How To Treat Them
Show Notes

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men’s Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in medical and urology care and the best urology humor out there.

In this segment,  Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee discuss the four types of sexual dysfunction in women: Dr. Mistry: dysfunction of desire, dysfunction of pain, dysfunction of arousal, and dysfunction of orgasm. Dysfunction is marked by the distress it causes the person experiencing it, so when it comes to sex, if something doesn't bother you, it's not dysfunctional. Many women are not directly bothered by a sexual issue, but are bothered by the effect it is having on their partner--and that, too, counts as dysfunction. Importantly, the types of sexual dysfunctions in women tend to overlap and interact. For example, an issue of pain during sex may cause the development of arousal dysfunction, etc.

Sexual dysfunction is also strongly affected by relationships, and where one partner is experiencing dysfunction, you are likely to find an issue with the other as well. Consequently, treating some types of dysfunction is not enough to fix the issue at hand. For example, if a man is struggling to maintain an erection but his partner isn't interested in sex anyway, treating his ED will not fully resolve the problem. Dr. Mistry explains that there are several medications available to women to treat the different kinds of sexual dysfunction most commonly experienced. These include Viagra, which can help women achieve arousal (as it does for men); Addyi, which increases desire by improving the pleasure center hormone in the brain; and Vyleesi, which is an injection that gradually ramps up desire in women over several hours. If you or a loved one are experiencing sexual dysfunction or would like to learn more about the treatments available for them, please give us a call today!
