Sexuality is an important component in the lives of menopausal women. Despite the importance of sexual function in menopausal women, sexual dysfunction increases with age. Age-related decline in sexual function may significantly reduce quality of life, making recognition of sexual dysfunction by physicians important for getting menopausal women effective care. Sexual dysfunction can result from multiple etiologies including psychosocial factors, medication side effects, vulvovaginal atrophy, chronic illness, or hypoactive sexual desire disorder. Discovering the etiology and identifying modifiable factors of the sexual function will help define appropriate treatment.
性征是更年期女性生活中的一个重要组成部分。尽管性功能在更年期女性中很重要,但性功能障碍会随着年龄增长而增加。与年龄相关的性功能衰退可能会显著降低生活质量,因此医生识别性功能障碍对于为更年期女性提供有效的护理很重要。性功能障碍可能由多种病因引起,包括心理社会因素、药物副作用、外阴阴道萎缩、慢性病或性欲减退障碍。发现病因并确定性功能的可改变因素将有助于确定适当的治疗方法。
