History of the International Society for the Study of Womenâs Sexual Health (ISSWSH)
Abstract
The International Society for the Study of Womenâs Sexual Health (ISSWSH) emanated from a course assembling experts in different disciplines, becoming the model for the society. Seventeen years later the society remains multidisciplinary, with annual meetings featuring state of the art lectures, symposia on controversial topics, and abstracts judged on scientific merit. Educational efforts expanded from a half day precourse to a fall course and another in conjunction with the National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Womenâs Health annually. Evidenceâbased conferences have included consensus panels for nomenclature for desire, arousal, and orgasm; pain; genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM); clinical guidelines for identification of sexual health problems; and a process of care for the management of hypoactive sexual desire disorder. ISSWSH is now established as the leading organization for disseminating valuable information to providers, researchers and educators regarding management of distressing sexual dysfunction in women.Keywords: ISSWSH; womenâs sexual health; female sexual dysfunction; multidisciplinary; desire; arousal; orgasm; pain; GSM; nomenclature
