Abstract
En 中文
Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) affects 40%-45% of women globally, with multifactorial causes including pelvic floor dysfunction and hormonal changes. While hormone therapy and psychobehavioral interventions have demonstrated efficacy, they are often limited by side effects, contraindications, variable adherence, and a lack of standardized protocols. Physical therapy (PT) approaches have emerged as promising non-invasive alternatives or adjuncts, targeting underlying neuromuscular, vascular, and structural mechanisms of FSD. This review focuses on PT approaches, evaluating their mechanisms and clinical outcomes to guide evidence-based practice.
