Research on premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is limited. More studies are needed to understand the connection between PMDD and FSD for better treatment.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive health
- Women's health
- Psychiatry
Background:
- Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and female sexual dysfunction (FSD) are common conditions impacting women's quality of life.
- Plausible biological, social, and psychological links exist between PMDD and FSD.
- However, research specifically examining sexual function in women with PMDD is scarce.
Conclusions:
- Further investigation into sexual function in women with PMDD is essential.
- Recognizing the comorbidity of PMDD and FSD can facilitate the development of targeted interventions for affected women.
