Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Women's Health
  • Psychology

Background:

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search across multiple databases (PubMed, Scopus, etc.).
  • Inclusion of 42 studies published between 2003 and 2013.
  • Analysis of reported physical, mental-emotional, and social factors.

Main Results:

  • Physical factors include age, estrogen deficiency, chronic conditions, and symptom severity.
  • Mental-emotional factors like depression and anxiety consistently impact sexual function.
  • Social factors such as relationship quality, smoking, and healthcare access are influential.

Conclusions:

  • Sexual function during menopause is multifactorial, influenced by a complex interplay of determinants.
  • Mental-emotional and social factors, alongside physical changes, require attention.
  • Further research may clarify conflicting findings on hormonal therapy and lifestyle factors.
