Impatto dell’obesità sulla funzione sessuale delle donne in menopausa
摘要
Menopause is a crucial phase of the cardiometabolic transition, during which many women experience weight gain and significant body fat redistribution. In parallel, a decline in sexual function is often observed. Women affected by obesity are exposed to a diversity of risk factors, both organic and psychosocial, which predispose them to the development of sexual dysfunctions. This review aims to analyse the available scientific evidence on the correlation between obesity and sexual dysfunctions in menopausal women and to provide useful tools to facilitate the doctor-patient dialogue, diagnose sexual dysfunctions, and offer options for treatment following a bio-psychosocial approach.
