Sexual Dysfunctions and Affecting Factors in Middle Aged Indian Females

Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9

Abstract

Female sexual disorders are complex, diverse and associated with multiple factors. They are highly prevelant in our society but often not recognized, diagnosed and managed. There is a paucity of studies evaluating this condition in Indian perspective. So a study was conducted in department of obstetrics and gynaecology in Adesh Institute of Medical Sciences And Research on 100 patients of middle age group attending OPD clinic. Mean age of patients with sexual dysfunction was 47_+ 7 yrs. 65% patients reported sexual dysfunction. Females living in joint families, with sedentary life style, married for >20years and housewives had more problems related to FSDs. But out of all females with problem only 17% consulted doctor for the problem. It gives us interpretation that in our set up this issue is still limited by social and cultural issues which needs to be assessed and addressed properly.
