title: [Aetiology of female sexual dysfunction].
abstract: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a significant age-related, progressive, and highly prevalent problem that affects a substantial number of women on their quality of life. However, it hasn't received enough attention. In this review, the local regulation mechanism and the aetiological factors are associated with FSD are discussed. With the increased research, an improved awareness and understanding of the pathophysiological machanism of FSD may, in the future, enable us to address it more appropriately and develop suitable treatment.
