When does a 'less than perfect' sex life become female sexual dysfunction?

摘要

In this issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Addis et al report the results from posing 5 questions about sexual activity, sexual problems, and sexual satisfaction to 2,109 women aged 40-69 years who were enrolled in RRISK: Reproductive Risk factors for Incontinence Study at Kaiser. In one question, the women were asked how much of a problem lack of sexual interest, inability to relax and enjoy sexual activity, difficulty in becoming sexually aroused, or difficulty in having an orgasm had been during the past 12 months. The 5 possible responses were "not a problem," "little bit of a problem," "somewhat of a problem," "very much a problem," and "not applicable."
