Abstract

Sexual health among older generations is still a major issue for individuals and couples. However, most people still believe that older adults are asexual. The reported prevalence of sexual problems in the elderly population was quite high, especially in postmenopausal women. For older women, menopause remains the main cause of sexual dysfunction. Chronic diseases occurring as a result of aging were found to be the second most common cause of sexual dysfunction. Both of these conditions will impact the patient’s physical, mental, and psychosocial wellbeing. Therefore, it is important to achieve better sexual health in order to increase overall health and quality of life.
