Abstract
Women are more susceptible to experience sexual dysfunctions due to several biological, psychological and sociocultural factors. Approximately 51% of Brazilian women experience sexual dysfunctions. According to DSM-5, partnership is one of the most important factors to be analyzed before diagnosing sexual dysfunctions in women. A multidisciplinary approach, including contributions from gynecology, psychotherapy and urogynecological physiotherapy, is indispensable to recover the patients’ sexual function. However, such approach is neglected by many practitioners and unknown to many heterosexual women and their partners in the Western Amazon Region. This study aimed to assess the knowledge of heterosexual men about the treatment of female sexual dysfunctions and the role of urogynecological physiotherapy in the multidisciplinary approach. 71 heterosexual men (28± 8 years) participated in the research, all of whom were in a relationship for at least 1 year. The men filled in two questionnaires and participated in semi-structured interviews, as part of a cross-sectional mixed-methodology research.
