Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD): Understanding the Condition and Treatment Options
Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) is a common but often underdiagnosed condition affecting women of all ages. It refers to persistent problems with sexual response, desire, arousal, orgasm, or pain that cause personal distress or difficulty in intimate relationships.
At Jindal Hospital & Fertility Centre, we recognize that sexual health is an essential part of overall well-being. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Sunil Jindal & Dr. Anshu Jindal, our team provides compassionate, evidence-based evaluation and treatment for women experiencing sexual dysfunction, helping them restore intimacy, confidence, and quality of life.
Indications for Female Sexual Dysfunction
You may be experiencing FSD if you have:
- Low sexual desire (hypoactive sexual desire disorder).
- Difficulty with arousal despite desire.
- Inability to achieve orgasm or significantly delayed orgasm.
- Painful intercourse (dyspareunia) or vaginal dryness.
- Vaginismus (involuntary tightening of vaginal muscles).
- Distress, anxiety, or dissatisfaction related to sexual activity.
FSD may occur due to medical, hormonal, psychological, or relational factors, and is often multifactorial.
