How is female sexual dysfunction diagnosed and treated?

A history.: Painful intercourse; painful gynecological examination; and open discussion with your doctor about sexual functioning.

See a Sex therapist: Female sexual dysfunction is diagnosed by an interview with a sex therapist or perhaps by your ob-gyne or pcp during an office visit. There are 4 categories of female sexual dysfunctions: hypoactive sexual desire disorder sexual arousal disorders orgasmic disorders sexual pain disorders.

Multiple options: For diagnosis see:http://www.uptodate.com/contents/sexual-problems-in-women. Lifestyle changes like weight loss, exercise and avoiding drugs like alcohol can help. Sex/couples therapists are helpful (ever since Masters and Johnson of 1970's) and underused (see http://www.aasect.org/ ). Newer prescription drugs like Flibanserin - Addyi and Bremelanotide (see http://www.reconnectstudy.com) may help
