Despite the increasing interest in clinical practice in sexual dysfunction (SD) and the related relevance of psychological outcomes for young people, this area has been neglected in scientific scenarios. This study aims to draw on recent scientific findings and propose future research perspectives on the risk factors, diagnostic issues, and therapies that address SD for the under-40 age category, with particular attention paid to various psychological aspects. A literature search was conducted on studies published between March 2011 and March 2021. Anxiety, depression, and relational conflicts can both cause and affect sexual dysfunction. Psychological interventions have also proved to be important to organic causes; however, no review has found either sex education programs or multidisciplinary therapies. A multidisciplinary approach involving medical doctors and psychologists (trained in psychosexology) would improve not only the recognition of disorders through organic and psychogenic symptoms, but also treatment effectiveness.
尽管性功能障碍（SD）在临床实践中的关注度日益增加，且心理结果对年轻人具有相关重要性，但该领域在科学研究中一直被忽视。本研究旨在借鉴近期的科学发现，针对40岁以下人群的性功能障碍的风险因素、诊断问题及治疗方法提出未来的研究观点，尤其关注各种心理方面。对2011年3月至2021年3月期间发表的研究进行了文献检索。焦虑、抑郁和人际关系冲突既可能导致性功能障碍，也会对其产生影响。心理干预对器质性病因也已证明很重要；然而，尚未有综述发现性教育项目或多学科治疗方法。涉及医生和（接受过性心理治疗培训的）心理学家的多学科方法不仅会通过器质性和心因性症状改善对疾病的识别，还会提高治疗效果。
