Description: 

HSDD is a common yet often under-recognised condition in primary care, most prevalent in post menopausal women. It is characterised by a persistent or recurrent lack of sexual interest, thoughts, or fantasies, and this absence leads to significant personal distress or difficulties in intimate relationships. Recognising and managing HSDD is crucial for primary care practitioners, as it can substantially impact patients' overall well-being and quality of life. Given the sensitive nature of sexual health, patients often find it easier to discuss these concerns initially with their trusted GP.

This module aims to equip primary healthcare practitioners with a comprehensive, evidence-based understanding of HSDD, including its definition, diagnostic criteria, potential causes, current treatment options available in Australia, and practical strategies for assessment and management in the primary care setting.
