How is Female Sexual Arousal Disorder Diagnosed?

Diagnosis of FSAD is initiated by taking a complete medical history. It is important to that FSAD is differentiated from inadequate genital stimulation disorder and drug abuse. These two should be ruled out to establish a precise diagnosis. Sexual orientation is often determined, as it is necessary to come up with appropriate evaluation and management.

When all important information is obtained, diagnostic and laboratory examinations are done to check out if there’s alteration or an imbalance in your body that is probably causing the impotence.

A pelvic examination is usually done to visualize for any structural changes that have probably occurred in your reproductive system, causing your unresponsiveness and discomfort in sexual stimulations. Blood results are also done to check on the levels of your hormones, which could possibly be the root cause of

What Are Your Treatment Options?

The treatment and management of female stimulation arousal disorder is approached in various ways. Conservative management or nonsurgical intervention FSAD includes the use of drugs. Tibolone, a new drug mainly used to treat osteoporosis has shown beneficial effects. It increases vaginal lubrication and increases arousal. This drug is not yet found in Europe and in Asia. Since hormonal imbalances most frequently result in female impotence, hormonal replacement therapies are usually recommended. Various creams and jellies are suitable lubricants and may help to alleviate the discomfort. Warm baths or use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can minimize pain before sex while trying different positions during sex. Hormones are key elements in a woman’s sexual drive and sexual function. Women in menopause or who have had a complete hysterectomy are likely to experience imbalances in estrogen and progesterone levels that can be related to sexual enjoyment.

Because the mind and the body are closely interconnected, hypnosis may offer another avenue of treatment for FSAD. Using techniques of deep relaxation as well as self-hypnosis can help resolve any unconscious conflict that may act as a block to healthy sexual function. The psychological portion of treatment is directed at teaching how to focus on pleasurable thoughts and feelings about sex through counseling or psychotheraphy. Because self-help is difficult when it comes to sexual dysfunction, sex therapists help men and women, as individuals and as couples, with sexual expression.

Sensual massages can be recommended where the partner provides the massage and the receiving patient provides feedback to what feels good. This would promote comfort and communication between partners.
