{"doi":"10.1016/j.jsxm.2020.08.022","title":"Results of a World Health Organization Scoping of Sexual Dysfunction–Related Guidelines: What Exists and What Is Needed","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Sexual dysfunction has long been overlooked in the broader context of sexual and reproductive health services. As a result, and in the absence of international sexual dysfunction treatment guidelines, recommendations have instead been developed by a variety of professional associations, worldwide. AIM: We conducted a mapping of existing recommendations addressing a wide array of conditions related to sexual function/dysfunction. METHODS: We contacted 25 professional associations from around the world and held an online open call for guidelines. OUTCOMES: Eligible submissions had to provide recommendations on treatment related to male or female sexual dysfunction. RESULTS: Twelve guidelines from 11 associations were included. Of the 195 recommendations extracted, 61% were related to men, 53% were related specifically to treatment, and 48% did some form of evidence assessment. CONCLUSION: Recommendations from this exercise are provided for WHO, international and national research institutions, ministries of health, and professional associations.
