“…In this line, the extensive prevalence and life impact of female sexual dysfunctions indicate these are critical public health issues warranting population-level interventions. Sexual health challenges affect a substantial portion of the female population and reduce quality of life [58]. The results of this systematic review call for implementing public health strategies beyond individual clinical approaches to comprehensively support women's sexual well-being across their lifespans.…”

(1) Background: Psychological well-being (PWB) and female sexual health are two important areas for women’s quality of life and research, and they are closely related. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the existing literature to explore the association between PWB and sexual health in women. (2) Methods: This review was carried out following the PRISMA checklist. The inclusion criteria were studies with samples of adult women that evaluated and associated sexual functioning and psychological well-being. Scientific articles were identified on Web of Science, Scopus, EBSCO (PsycInfo, PsycArticles, and Psicodoc), ProQuest, and PubMed. The search was limited to years between 2010 and 2023. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies (QATOCCS). (3) Results: 14 selected articles were analyzed, in which population samples and variables related to psychological and sexual health were examined. In total, 42.9% of the studies included clinical samples, 71.4% focused on anxiety and depression as the main psychological variables, and 50% examined female sexual functioning as a sexual health variable. (4) Conclusions: This review provides more up-to-date information about valuable insights into the possible determinants of female sexual health. An association between PWB and female sexual health has been demonstrated.

“…As such, pelvic muscle tone affects continence (Dumoulin et al, 2014;Pandey et al, 2019). Importantly, the pelvic floor muscles play a critical role in childbirth (Hilde et al, 2013), sexual expression and sexual performance (Whipple et al, 2007: Gianotten et al, 2007, including the eurythmic pelvic muscle contractions experienced during orgasm (Bartlik et al 2010).…”

Image design for healthcare instruction must be attuned to the way we learn and the formulation of our abstract knowledge. Images for a manual on how to use a medical device will differ significantly in presentation from images that are intended as guidance on how to improve corporal performance. Images for the former will rely on intentional recollection of life experiences, learned concepts and facts as tools. While not mutually exclusive, images for the latter should be designed to consciously work with procedural memory to improve bodily performance. The images in this article demonstrate this by imaging the relationship between the pelvic floor muscles, clitoris and demarking “Spots” indicated for sexual arousal. Qualitative data suggests that many individuals know little about the interactive relationship between the clitoris, pelvic floor muscles and the female orgasm. Social and educational venues are inadequate, and in some cases misleading. The use of appropriate images conveys meaning very effectively. So whether imaging for a medical condition, procedure (e.g., surgery) or device to enfranchise the patient in their wellness the individual’s experience and proclivity for learning must be considered. If the images are effectively planned and executed, images can play an important role in involving the patients in their wellness. Enfranchising the patient into the process can improve patient feedback therein contributing to advancements in medical procedure and device usage. The sequence of images is guidance based upon a woman’s innate understanding of her body, so that she may move to a higher state of knowledge where her body performs better. Further, if her mind is inspired by the success, then her body could proceed beyond the achieved state repeatedly. The data confirms this performance structure. Women who score high for pelvic floor strength and coordination report high sexual functioning and genital perception.
