Abstract
Multiple factors may affect sexual functioning in women, requiring a thorough assessment of all possible etiologies to guide appropriate treatment. Interventions may also be multifaceted, ranging from sex education to psychotherapy to medical treatment. Restoration of sexual functioning is the goal of treatment, but more research is needed for true success to be realized.
