{Abstract}: Chronic diseases are prevalent and impact sexual health and function. Screening for and managing sexual dysfunction in women with chronic diseases is important to optimize well-being and quality of life. Clinicians should consider the biopsychosocial impact of chronic diseases on sexual health, screen for direct and indirect factors, and identify medications that may cause dysfunction. The authors recommend a multidisciplinary approach to treat sexual dysfunction in women with chronic diseases, including sexual medicine specialists, sex therapists, and pelvic floor physical therapists when indicated. This review provides a practical approach to assessing and managing sexual dysfunction in women with chronic diseases.
