Key-points

  • Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) is the most prevalent sexual dysfunction among women.

  • Psychological, biological, behavioral, relational and environmental factors are the main causes of HSDD and should be assessed during HSDD investigation.

  • Gynecologists should assess women's sexual problems during routine gynecological consultations.

  • Sexual education is the start point of managing HSDD, secondary to psychological, biological, behavioral, relational and environmental factors.

  • The multidisciplinary teamwork approach achieves the best results to deal with HSDD.

The National Specialty Commission for Sexology of the Brazilian Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics Associations (FEBRASGO) endorses to this document. The content production is based on scientific studies on a thematic proposal and the findings presented contribute to clinical practice.
