Engaging with your Doctor about HSDD
Engaging your Doctor
We understand that this maybe a sensitive subject. Many women feel discomfort or embarrassment which contributes to their unwillingness to seek treatment (only 20% of women with HSDD actively consult with their doctor).
In order to facilitate discussing this subject with your physician please download and answer the Screener Questionnaire and present it to your doctor.
Doctors who are members of the Australasian Menopause Society (AMS) have a special interest in women’s health in midlife and menopause, and the promotion of healthy ageing.
To help you find a doctor who is right for you the AMS search feature Find an AMS doctor may be useful.
