Sexual Dysfunctions - Science topic

Child birth may result in nephropathy due to pressure of the head of the baby on the pelvic floor nerves while repeated vaginal child birth may affect the integrity of the pelvic diaphragm.

Il questionario (FSFI) più usato dai sessuologi e ricercatori per fare diagnosi e sondaggi/statistiche sulle disfunzioni sessuali femminili non ha basi scientifiche, perché indaga principalmente il rapporto pene-vagina, quindi non misura la funzione sessuale/orgasmo femminile… per questo moltissime donne credono di essere “malate”, ma non lo sono… le disfunzioni sessuali femminili sono così diffuse nel mondo (e sono un grande business, vedi anche i farmaci per l’eiaculazione precoce), perché si basano su qualcosa che non esiste, l’orgasmo vaginale… dopo la menopausa (la vagina non serve più per la riproduzione e fisiologicamente va lentamente in atrofia)… sono i sessuologi/psicologi che gli fanno credere di essere malate, inoltre questo “calo del desiderio” forse è normale se con il rapporto vaginale le donne non provano niente o solo fastidio/dolore, e poi perché se una donna non pensa spesso al sesso dovrebbe essere “malata”?... Le disfunzioni sessuali femminili (e maschili) si “curano” e prevengono principalmente con una corretta educazione sessuale, e la definizione di rapporto sessuale completo deve essere… nel Fatto Quotidiano

Did you try to use my questionnaire "Libido Scorring System" in the literature. You can find my full text article free of charge and this questionnaire is very user friendly.

Dear Soheir, 

Check these out: 

This website is very usefull 

YES it may be this will be  a fine study

Brilliant! thank you again

Hello! (The question was posted some time ago, but in case this is still pertinent)

I've recently read this paper on the effects of saffron (Kashani et al, 2013) that "may safely and effectively improve some of the fluoxetine-induced sexual problems including arousal, lubrication, and pain".

Of course saffron's pharmacological mechanisms are still not completely understood, but it seems to have opioid-like actions and you might want to look into that!

Dear Dr Vishal,

There are several questionnaires available in the litterature but they were developped in patients with others conditions. I think the IIEE questionnaire (full or abridged version) has been well assessed in different populations with CKD. (see attached file)

Contact Per Södersten <Per.Sodersten@ki.se>

He is an expert in both areas

Dear Vigneswaran Veeramuthu,

You find from here:

In the last years me and my colleges have seen few patients with long duration of sexual side efeects due to the use of SSRIs.

Most reported is the reducation of sexual interest and loss of desire.

Some theories are postulated including psychogenic causes. I'm not sure that psychogenic is the only explaination. We are not  aware about the chemical or structural changes due to SSRIs use.

Recentaly publications appears about the DNA fragmentation due to SSRIs use. I assume that more should be published and patients need to be inform about these possible conseguences

Frederik: what is the status of your ms with PLOS ONE? I would liaise with the editorial office and highlight how you have improved the manuscript by open review and perhaps even submit a traditional rebuttal  to reviewers (from ResearchGate) to the PLOS ONE academic editors  for their review via the office, I.e. Comment - response - comment - response. Perhaps the AE would then make a decision by themselves.  Make sure you document everything carefully and even direct PLOS ONE to ResearchGate to expedite the decision making process. You're breaking new ground, that's for sure! 

I am sure I have something to contribute here. I have been researching and writing on more-or-less this same topic for a couple of years. Can you be more specifc about exactly what you are looking for - e.g. measurement tools, methodology, research articles ... shop talk?

HI Stacey, I am doing research involvig older men with prostate cancer and we are also considering the IIEF, but was unaware of the IIEF-5, which we will consider. The other option for this group which may apply (but perhaps not to your group) is the EORTC30 P25 prostate module which gives sexual interest and sexual function domain scores.

This is an excellent and inspiring question. It opens your mind to a set of unwanted effects that we clinicians frecuently don't take into account, particularly in dealing with long-term antipsychotic treatment.

Fist thing should know the physiological status like hormonal level, menstruation problem, previous sexual activities, frequency, sex posture, abortion history , body weight, BP, Food routine, Sleeping time table...etc....then have to inquiry about Psychological ....like mood, choosing partner, satisfaction orintation...etc....
