Human sexuality is a set of biological, psycho-physiological, mental and emotional reactions, experiences and actions of a person associated with the manifestation and satisfaction of sexual desire. Sexuality is one of the important driving factors in a person’s perception of the surrounding reality and a factor encouraging people to live together and work together, is a driving force for bringing people closer together and uniting, one of the main components of family life. Due to the lack of clinical recommendations with clear algorithms in each country, the lack of specialists who would fully deal with the issues of sexual disorders in women, it is difficult to solve the problem. Disorders in the sexual sphere can have a significant impact on the quality of life, as they lead to disruption of family relationships, raise issues of morality, and contribute to the emergence of certain prejudices. Sexual disorders, dramatically disturbing the emotional balance of women and bringing discord in interpersonal family relationships, can occur in many diseases. An interdisciplinary approach to solving this problem consists in choosing the optimal ratio between the methods of treating an existing organic disorder or disease (somatic or mental) and specific sexological methods. Prevention and treatment of sexual disorders in women are not only of medical, but also of social importance.
