Consideraciones generales:

Tradicionalmente, se pensaba que la disfunción sexual en las mujeres se debía sobretodo a problemas psicológicos. Las investigaciones recientes están comenzando a descubrir muchas causas físicas para los problemas sexuales en las mujeres. Aunque muchos problemas sexuales tienen un componente psicológico subyacente, se deben descartar posibles causas físicas en la evaluación inicial.
