Resumen
The World Health Organization (2021) defines sexual health as “an integral part of overall health, well-being, and quality of life,” which changes over the lifespan following exposure to specific life events (e.g., medical interventions, menopause, reproductive experiences, or relationships) and should be assessed in routine medical and psychological examinations in women. According to a study by Bachmann (2006), 60% of professionals were aware that one- to three-quarters of their patients suffered from female sexual disorders (FSDs). Despite this, most were reluctant to openly discuss their patients’ sexual functioning or to perform a full assessment.
