Female Sexual Health - Types

Types of sexual dysfunction in women:

Low sexual desire is also known as hypoactive sexual desire disorder:

• the most common form of sexual dysfunction in women;
• lack of or absence of sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity; and
• diminished desire to participate and enjoy sexual activity.

Orgasmic disorder: finding difficulty in reaching orgasm after sufficient sexual stimulation affects a significant number of women.

Sexual pain disorder:

• Painful sexual intercourse - the pain can be in the genital area or deep inside the pelvis. The pain is sharp, burning or similar to menstrual cramps.
• Vaginismus - it is the spasm of the muscles around the vagina that leads to pain, making penile penetration impossible.
