Female sexual dysfunction is a common but often underreported condition that can affect women of all ages. It can stem from physical, psychological, or hormonal factors and may significantly impact self-esteem, relationships, and quality of life. While it can be a sensitive topic, seeking timely medical advice and treatment can help restore sexual health and confidence. With innovative approaches like stem cell therapy, there is hope for effective and long-lasting solutions.

The symptoms of female sexual dysfunction vary depending on the specific condition. Common signs include:

Low libido: Reduced interest or desire for sexual activity.
