  • Title: Opportunities for intervention in HSDD.
    Author: Simon JA.
    Journal: J Fam Pract; 2009 Jul; 58(7 Suppl Hypoactive):S26-30. PubMed ID: 19825316.
    Abstract:
    Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) is relatively common among women and causes considerable distress as well as interpersonal difficulties. Nevertheless, many women with HSDD remain untreated because they are reluctant to discuss sexual issues with their physicians and have low expectations concerning the prospects for help. Compounding this situation is the fact that clinicians frequently do not inquire about patients' sexual health. As primary care providers, family physicians are in an excellent position to improve the care of women with HSDD by adopting a proactive approach to identifying sexual concerns and determining the best available courses of treatment.
