‘Female sexual health’ is a result of interplay of many underlying physiological and psychological processes and hence is a complex thing which is closely linked to woman's overall quality of life.
The normal female sexual response involves genital pelvic organs (vulva, clitoris, labia majora and minora) and the internal pelvic structures (vagina, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes).
Many areas of the Brain & spinal cord (for example hippocampus, hypothalamus, limbic system, and medial pre-optic area) also play major role in the normal female sexual response.
Many neurotransmitters (chemicals secreted by brain like serotonin, dopamine, nor epinephrine, epinephrine, opioids, nitric oxide and acetylcholine) ensure the normal sexual function in females.
Normal secretion and proper utilization of hormones (like sex steroids, estradiol and testosterone) is also essential for the normal genital response and overall sexual health in females
