Sexual health is an important part of an individual's overall health. This article presents the definitions and classifications of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), emphasizes the importance of obtaining a sexual health assessment, and describes the tools that can be used for this assessment. The impact of obesity on reproductive health over a women's entire life span (in the family-planning years, reproductive years, and menopause years) is described. The treatment of obesity will have a positive effect on a woman's sexual health, with a likely improvement in FSD and a decrease in risk factors related to contraception, pregnancy, infertility, and menopause.
