Book excerpt: Document from the year 2018 in the subject Medicine - Gynecology, Andrology, grade: 1, Egerton University, language: English, abstract: In retrospect, sexual disorders have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life. It is also apparent that these disorders bear immense significance to the clinical practice. Despite their impact, most physicians do not seem to be interested to engage in extensive discussion with patients regarding sexual desire problems. This phenomenon is, probably, attributable to several reasons including time constraints, lack of efficient therapeutic interventions and insufficient knowledge. One of the most debilitating sexual desire disorders is hypoactive sexual desire disorder. HSDD is also known as inhibited sexual desire. HSDD is characterized by decreased or absence of desire for sexual activity and sexual fantasies which causes interpersonal difficulties, as well as personal distress. In some circumstances, the diagnosis of HSDD exhibits co-morbidity to an underlying sexual dysfunction. However, this disorder is not exclusively attributed to the effects of any substance, pathology or another psychiatric disorder. Even though some clinical experts have hypothesized the causes of HSDD to be associated with biological imbalances, the pathophysiology of this disorder remains unknown. As such, efforts to develop a comprehensive treatment and management strategies have not achieved remarkable success. Therefore, this literature review aims at providing an overview of HSDD.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Medicine - Therapy, grade: 1, Egerton University, language: English, abstract: This essay proposes hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) as the psychological issue that can be addressed through web-based interventions. In retrospect, technological advancement has been one of the factors underpinning the expansion of the medical field. Over the years, new technological inventions have led to the introduction of new medical perspectives ranging from diagnosis, treatment and prevention of different health conditions and disorders. In the field of mental health, technological advancement seems to have augmented psychological treatment interventions, as well as the assessment of various aspects of different mental disorders. According to Ritterband et al., the evolution of web-based intervention platforms holds the potential for enhancing treatment for conditions in which patients show little interest seeking for treatment. In this context, it is worth noting that most interventions for mental disorders focus on behavioral modifications which, in turn plays an integral role in improving the underlying symptoms. On the other hand, health-related information websites have been found to be useful to patients. This has been evidenced by Pew Research Center (2002), in which surveys show that people’s knowledge on different health condition has been improved through internet education.
