Disorders of the Male Reproductive System01:20

Disorders of the Male Reproductive System

Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
Prostate disorders are another major concern. These conditions can impair urinary flow due to the prostate's location around the urethra. Symptoms...
Sex Linked Disorders01:43

Sex Linked Disorders

Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.
Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation01:17

Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation

Sexual stimulation can take various forms, such as physical touch and visual or auditory cues. When this happens, the parasympathetic reflex in the sacral portion of the spinal cord is activated. This reflex stimulates the release of nitric oxide (NO), which then dilates the arterioles in the penis, increasing blood flow to the erectile tissues - the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum.
The blood filling the erectile tissues compresses the veins, which helps to prevent blood from leaving...
Disorders of the Female Reproductive System01:24

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Genital01:23

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Genital

The genital stage is the final phase of Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, beginning at puberty, around age 12. During this stage, sexual energy shifts from self-focused interests to external individuals, marking the development of mature adult sexuality. Freud saw this phase as a time of sexual reawakening, with desires directed toward others outside the family. A healthy transition into this stage, according to Freud, signifies the emergence of two key aspects of adult...

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive medicine
  • Clinical psychology
  • Sexual health

Background:

  • Sexual dysfunction involves difficulties in the sexual response cycle, hindering satisfaction.
  • Estimating the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is challenging due to controversial and developing diagnostic criteria.
  • Current understanding of FSD's basis is insufficient, complicating clinical approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the complex clinical issue of female sexual dysfunction (FSD).
  • To examine the most updated clinical criteria for FSD.
  • To contextualize updated FSD criteria within a redefined female sexual response model.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of updated clinical criteria for FSD.
  • Analysis of a redefined female sexual response model.
  • Synthesis of current understanding and diagnostic approaches to FSD.

Main Results:

  • Identification of evolving diagnostic criteria for FSD.
  • Integration of updated criteria within a novel female sexual response framework.
  • Highlighting the need for a refined understanding of FSD's etiology and diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • A redefined female sexual response model provides a framework for understanding updated FSD criteria.
  • Addressing diagnostic controversies is crucial for accurate FSD prevalence estimation.
  • Further research is needed to solidify FSD definitions and improve clinical management.
