- Abstract
The article discusses the possible causes of female sexual dysfunction and offers a selection of treatments for the condition. A Consensus Development Panel on Female Sexual Dysfunction provided four categories of the condition, namely, hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), sexual arousal disorder, orgasmic disorder and sexual pain disorder. It is explained that androgens play in important role in sexual function and they can be in the form of testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone which contribute to the level of sexual desire.
