Abstract
Female sexual dysfunctions involve heterogenous range of problems, which may decrease quality of life, and bring interpersonal, relationship and reproductive issues. Its precise etiopathogenesis is not mostly known.
They are characterized by phenomenological methods and divided by symptomatology. The article compares three current international female sexual dysfunction classification systems based on the type of their definition.
Their mutual compatibility is critically evaluated and differences in approach to these issues are highlighted. Particular emphasis is placed on the evaluation of sexual dysfunction set by new revised version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (51,2,3 th Edition).
Overview and comparison of current classifications should contribute to a better use of these systems in clinical practice.
