How Is a Female Sexual Problem Diagnosed

www.amiaustralia.com.au

Sexual dysfunction in women is diagnosed by a physical exam and symptom history. The doctor will probably perform a pelvic exam with a Pap smear to check for cancer. Other tests may be ordered to rule out medical conditions that may cause sexual dysfunction. You may also be asked about attitudes toward sex, past sexual trauma or abuse, problems in your relationship, or

alcohol and drug abuse to help determine if these psychological factors contribute to the dysfunction.
