Hormonal Sexual Dysfunction

Meaning

Hormonal Sexual Dysfunction refers to impairments in any phase of the sexual response cycle—desire, arousal, or orgasm—that are directly attributable to an imbalance or deficiency of specific endocrine hormones. In both men and women, this condition often involves sub-optimal levels of sex steroids, such as testosterone, estrogen, or progesterone, which are critical for maintaining libido and genital tissue health. Clinical assessment requires a thorough evaluation of the patient’s full endocrine profile to identify the root cause.
