Female Sexual Frustration
Female sexual dysfunction is called a state in which biological, psychological and interpersonal factors play equal role, sometimes acting in complex combination.

Female problems in bedroom are serious and very common ones in modern urogynecology, which has a great impact on normal life of women. However, only a small number of women go for help to specialists. Of course, this question is rather delicate and not every woman will dare to talk about her intimate problems to a stranger, even a doctor. In addition, this question is rather poorly covered even in special medical literature. But in actual fact the problem turned out to be much more serious than it was previously thought, and therefore requires thorough and detailed study.
Disorders in female sexual sphere can have significant impact on quality of life, because they lead to violation of relationship between man and woman, affect moral issues, contribute to manifestation of certain prejudices. Female sexual disorders disturb peace of mind and bring discord into interpersonal intra-family relationships. Dysfunctions can accompany many diseases, but most often they are burdened by primary sexual disorders of specific nature. Prevention and treatment of female sexual dysfunction are important not only from medical, but also from social point of view.
