Menopause01:28

Menopause

5.0K
Menopause, a natural biological process marking the end of a woman's fertility, typically occurs between the fifth and sixth decade of life. This phase is characterized by the exhaustion of the ovarian follicle pool, leading to less responsive ovaries despite the high levels of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). The consequential decrease in estrogen production results in symptoms like hot flashes, heavy sweating, headaches, hair loss, muscle pains, vaginal...

Disorders of the Male Reproductive System

5.2K
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....

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

4.5K
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...

Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation

31.3K
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...

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Genital

2.2K
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 Health
  • Gerontology
  • Women's Health

Background:

  • Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) significantly affects relationships and quality of life.
  • Postmenopausal women are a key demographic experiencing FSD.
  • Understanding FSD prevalence and contributing factors is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Determine the prevalence of FSD in postmenopausal women.
  • Identify factors contributing to FSD in this population.
  • Evaluate specific sexual domains impacted by menopause.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study conducted at a Menopause Clinic.
  • Utilized validated Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) in English and Malay.
  • Assessed sexual function in postmenopausal women over one year.

Main Results:

  • High prevalence of sexual dysfunction (85.2%) observed.
  • Most affected domains: dissatisfaction (89.0%), arousal (67.0%), and desire (62.4%).
  • Significant contributing factors: age >60, lower education, and natural menopause type.

Conclusions:

  • Postmenopausal women exhibit a high prevalence of sexual dysfunction.
  • Satisfaction, desire, and arousal are the most impacted sexual domains.
  • Older age, lower education, and natural menopause are associated with increased FSD risk.
