in: Porst H. Buvat J. (Eds), ISSM (International Society of Sexual Medicine) Standard Committee Book, Standard practice in Sexual Medicine, Blackwell, Oxford, UK, 2006, p. 287-288
In 2005-2006 Professor Graziottin chaired the FSD Sub-Committee of the International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM). The pertinent proceedings have been published in: Porst H. Buvat J. (Eds), ISSM Standard Committee Book, Standard Practice in Sexual Medicine, Blackwell, Oxford, UK, 2006.
The aim of the section on Female Sexual Disorders (FSD) is to offer to health care providers a constructive, easy to use, practical approach to address FSD, in a timely and effective manner. Sexual issues are increasingly raised in the clinical setting. They may be discussed in a number of contexts, including obtaining background information about sexual function and sexual health, addressing possible consequences of illness, injury, procedures and/or medications or responding to a patient presenting with a sexual problem or question.
