Abstract:
Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is an age-related progressive disease and may affect up to half of adult women, but it has failed to receive due attention for a long time. Hypertension is a common and frequently encountered disease, and female sexual dysfunction is closely related to hypertension and antihypertensive drugs. Hypertension-related atherosclerosis, endothelial disorder and antihypertensive drugs are important risk factors for female sexual function. This article reviews the mechanisms of hypertension-induced FSD and advances in their studies.
