The role of androgens in female sexual dysfunction

The most common female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is sexual desire disorder, or low libido, although most women present with an overlap of sexual problems. The sexual response in women is considered to be multidimensional, involving hormonal, physiological, relational, emotional, and psychological parameters. Therefore, evaluation of a woman presenting with FSD needs to be complete, considering all aspects of the mind and body, to ensure that all dimensions are accounted for in assessing the patient's sexual well-being.
