However, compared with the OB/GYNs, the GPs were less likely to inquire about sexual problems during general medical history-taking [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 0.23, 95% CI: 0.16-0.33, P < 0.0001] and more likely to consider diagnosing female sexual problems as being difficult (aOR: 2.44, 95% CI: 1.73-3.44, P < 0.0001). Compared with the OB/GYNs, the GPs were more likely to report having barriers-for example, \"shortness of the appointment time\" (aOR: 2.36, 95% CI: 1.53-3.63, P < 0.0001), \"personal attitudes and beliefs\" (aOR: 2.07, 95% CI: 1.41-3.67, P = 0.001), and \"lack of knowledge about sexual medicine\" (aOR: 2.05, 95% CI: 1.36-3.10, P = 0.001).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Both GPs and OB/GYNs considered the treatment of sexual problems to be an important health care practice; however, the engagement with patients' sexual problems among GPs was less structured.</p>","PeriodicalId":18435,"journal":{"name":"Menopause: The Journal of The North American Menopause Society","volume":" ","pages":"677-684"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12316142/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143971453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
