Management of sexual dysfunction
Management of sexual dysfunction includes:
- Identification that there is a problem as women are often reluctant to disclose sexual dysfunction
- Initiation/ optimisation of HRT where appropriate
- Treatment of urogenital symptoms
- Consideration of ceasing/ changing medication which can negatively impact on sexual function, such as antidepressants or aromatase Inhibitors
- Counselling
There is a lack of data regarding the long term safety of testosterone therapy and the role of sildenafil or bupropion.
