This event summarises the state of the art in Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) diagnosis and treatment, presenting strategies for collaborative care while also grappling with the ethical issues inherent in FSD management. Join a range of expert speakers in the field as they provide all participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to provide up-to-date care and advocacy for women’s sexual health concerns.
Why is Female Sexual Dysfunction Interdisciplinary?
Female Sexual Dysfunction is a subject of great and growing interest to healthcare providers and patients alike. Its importance cuts across disciplines: an understanding of FSD is relevant for practitioners of general medicine, gynaecology, urology, and psychiatry. In addition to being an opportunity for creative clinical collaboration, it is also the fulcrum for exciting research in anatomy, endocrinology, neuroscience, and social science.
How does Female Sexual Dysfunction cause controversy?
Many argue that FSD is an 'invented illness' that pathologises and stigmatises normal variation in genital and psychosexual health, motivating unscrupulous “wellness gurus” to sell unproven and even dangerous treatments to vulnerable consumers. This event summarizes the state of the art in FSD diagnosis and treatment, presenting strategies for collaborative care while also grappling with the ethical issues inherent in FSD management.
