Study suggests PTSD symptoms can cause problems in the bedroom for midlife women

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been associated with a number of adverse mental and physical health outcomes. Little is known, however, regarding its impact on sexual functioning among midlife women. A new study, presented at the 2023 Annual Meeting of The Menopause Society in Philadelphia, September 27–30, sheds light on the topic, suggesting that greater PTSD symptoms lead to worse sexual functioning.
