HerDesire

HerDesire.net is a CME-certified initiative committed to alleviating symptoms of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) through education about screening, diagnosis, treatment and long-term management.

Sexual health and a desire for intimacy are equally important issues affecting overall sense of well-being, self-esteem, and relationships for women. Studies have demonstrated that sexual health and health status are linked, yet female sexual dysfunction (FSD) remains underdiagnosed and undertreated.

FSD is common and has a significant negative impact on a woman's physical and mental health. HSDD is the most common FSD, affecting approximately one in 10 American women. Multiple factors may affect sexual function in women across the life cycle.

Both nonpharmacological and pharmacological interventions have demonstrated benefits for women with HSDD.
