  • Signs, Symptomes and Causes

    Sexual dysfunction manifests itself in many ways. Because women generalize about their sexual troubles, describing the problem as an overall dissatisfaction or decrease in libido, it is important they know about particular signs, symptoms, menopause and other causes.

    FDS Signs and Symptomes

    • Sexual Aversion Disorder - persistent aversion to, and avoidance of sexual contact with a sexual partner, based on psychologically or emotionally problems.
    • Sexual Arousal Disorder - a constant or repeated inability to achieve, or to maintain until completion of the sexual intercourse, an adequate lubrication-swelling response of sexual excitement.
    • Orgasmic Disorder - constant or repeated difficulty, or inability of attaining orgasm following adequate sexual stimulation and arousal, and causes personal trouble.
    • Difficult and painful, or even impossible penetration due to an involuntary spasm of the muscles surrounding the vagina that closes the vagina, called Vaginismus.
    • Recurrent or persistent genital pain when sexual intercourse, called Dyspareunia

    Menopause and Other Causes

    • After menopause many women feel less sexual desire,
      have vaginal dryness or have pain during sex


      Menopause, also called "change of life", is the point in a woman's life when menstrual periods stop permanently. This change occurs in most women between the ages of 35 and 58. Menopause is a natural event or a surgical one when a woman has both of her ovaries removed.

      Menopause means a woman is no longer able to have children, due to the stop of menstruation. This fact has its benefits. A woman can enjoy her partner and no longer has to worry about becoming pregnant.

      Women's sexual function changes during the years before and after menopause, as a result of a decrease in estrogen and testosterone levels. Most common problems include a lack of desire, vaginal atrophy, diminished responsiveness and low sexual arousal.
