What are the types of sexual dysfunction in girls?

Female sexual dysfunction generally includes low libido, excessive libido, and sexual aversion. Low libido usually refers to normal sexual desire in the past, and under appropriate sexual stimulation, the desire for sexual activity is significantly reduced, often not suitable for age. Hyperlibido usually manifests as a particularly intense state of sexual desire, with sexual excitement occurring too quickly, too much, and too dramatically. Regardless of any conditions and environmental limitations, there are sexual demands that cannot be met if not achieved. Sexual aversion usually refers to a sustained aversion to normal sexual behavior and activity.

Where is female sexual dysfunction treated?

The treatment of female sexual dysfunction requires selecting appropriate methods based on the etiology. At present, comprehensive treatment is mainly carried out through psychological, behavioral, medication, primary disease, and other methods. Most patients require long-term and sustained treatment.

1、 General treatment

Including providing relevant basic knowledge and skills, encouraging reading of introductory knowledge books; Suggest communication between both parties to discuss changing sexual posture, timing, and location; Try fantasizing, using background music and image materials.

2、 Treatment of primary diseases

Many women's sexual dysfunction is caused by various organic diseases, and only by actively treating the primary disease through surgery or medication can sexual dysfunction be eliminated. However, it should be noted that some drugs used to treat primary diseases may also cause sexual dysfunction, and comprehensive consideration should be given when using them.

3、 Drug therapy

1. Peripheral medication: By locally mediating blood flow and relaxing vascular smooth muscle, it promotes genital congestion and vaginal wetting. Phosphodiesterase is a major drug-5 inhibitor, a prostaglandin E1 agonist, L-arginine, and others. However, clinical trials have shown that peripheral acting drugs have less effect on women than men, which may be related to the inconsistency between subjective and objective arousal in women. Secondly, due to the influence of sex hormone levels, these drugs have less effect on postmenopausal women than premenopausal women.

2. Central drugs: Given that women's sexual experience relies more on subjective arousal, the use of central drugs may be more appropriate than that of men. The main drugs include melanocortical agonists, dopamine agonists, etc.

3. Sex hormones: Case control trials have shown that androgen preparations can significantly improve sexual satisfaction in women with sexual dysfunction, but long-term use may lead to potential side effects such as masculinization. Supplemental therapy with estrogen and progesterone can also improve sexual response by improving vaginal dryness. Sexual hormones can be used throughout the body or locally.
