Feb 3rd, 2023 - BACKGROUND: Prevalence of sexual dysfunction is high, although estimates are variable. For men, the reported level of sexual difficulty, taking all conditions into account, is around 33% or up to 46%. For women, the reported level of sexual difficulty is higher, with estimates up to around 66%. Sexual dysfunctions are associated with a negative impact on the quality of life in both men and wome...
