Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder is a prevalent sexual function concern among women of all ages, from 7% of premenopausal women to 16% of surgically postmenopausal women. Sexual desire is influenced by physiological, psychological, and sociocultural aspects. In 2018 the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health published guidelines for assessment and treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder outlining a biopsychosocial approach to this common concern. While we do not have a "female Viagra," there are now two FDA-approved medications for HSDD (Flibanserin and Bremelanotide). What is the rationale for these controversial medications? And why is there controversy?
