The Female Patient, 11/11/09
Kaneshiro B et al. – As the weight demographic in this country continues to increase, women’s health care providers must factor body weight into the clinical decision–making process. While overweight and obese women may be more at risk for certain medical conditions and for sexual dysfunction, they form a heterogeneous group, and it is important not to base health characteristics solely on physical appearance. Because sexuality is an integral part of psychosocial functioning and a person’s sense of well–being, addressing sexual quality of life and sexual dysfunction is essential, even though questions about sexual satisfaction and behavior may be difficult to ask. Importantly, all women should be counseled about health outcomes related to sexual activity, such as sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy.
