Despite the importance of sexuality for both men and women of all ages, only in the last few years extensive research has been carried out into female sexual problems. It has been discovered that sexual problems affect a considerable number of women each year, and this indicates the validity and necessity of further medical studies. We know that female genital sexual response is a combination of vasocongestive and neuromuscular events in the genital tract and pelvic floor which are controlled in part by specific neurotransmitters. Other pelvi-perineal genital structures undergo vasculogenic changes, namely the labia, periurethral glands, urethra and the Halban's fascia but much less attention has been paid to the role of these tissues in sexual response compared to the clitoris and the vagina. The most common etiologies of female sexual dysfunction are vasculogenic, neurogenic, hormonal/endocrine, muscologenic. The increasing various problems of female sexual dysfunction and the interest in the matter and the subsequent research are factors which keep the scientific community involved constantly active.
