Abstract
Female sexual disorders are common. Despite their prevalence, clinicians often feel they are inadequately prepared to address the needs of women with sexual complaints. The aim of this chapter is to highlight and review the diagnosis and management of sexual dysfunction in women, including how to take a thorough history, perform a targeted physical examination, and order appropriate laboratory testing to help determine etiology. Diagnostic algorithms and treatment options are reviewed.
