Abstract

Sexual health contributes to emotional and physical well-being in postmenopausal women. Sexual dysfunction is multifactorial in etiology and is largely underdiagnosed. Genitourinary syndrome of menopause, a new term encompassing a constellation of symptoms, is common, progressive, and treatable. Disorders of sexuality, including hypoactive sexual desire disorder, are also common and clinicians should learn simple evaluation, which can aid in diagnosis and treatment of both genitourinary syndrome of menopause and hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
