Abstract

Introduction.  Insufficient documentation exists regarding the prevalence of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in surgically menopausal (SM) women in European countries. Women who have undergone hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy experience a loss of ovarian hormones. Inclusion of these women in an epidemiological study provided the opportunity to study biological and cultural impacts on sexual function.
