Female sexual dysfunction is a less discussed entity, which is difficult to screen or identify and treat as compared to male sexual dysfunction like erectile dysfunction, which is easy to diagnose and treat. Postmenopausal females with decreased sexual desire can be improved moderately by testosterone therapy. Genito-pelvic dysesthesia (GPD) is poorly understood. Hence, it requires a multidisciplinary biopsychosocial approach to identify the condition and thereby managing it. Managing the end organ, neurologic, pharmacological, vascular and emotional components improve the morbidity of affected ones. This will somehow prevent the patients from distress and life threatening consequences. In present scenario direct communication followed by assessment and thereby formulating the essential guidelines for treatment is on emphasis. The gap is being tried to be narrowed by more studies in this field. Topical sildenafil ointment under trail phase 2b results-eagerly awaited, Flibanserin- an oral medication, bremelanotide- an injectable are new to this field. Also the hormonal therapy along with the cognitive behavioral therapy is on research and trying to decrease the suffering from sexual or arousal disorders in coming eras.
