Hypoactive sexual desire dysfunction (HSDD) is prevalent among women. This retrospective cohort study aimed to verify the results of the strategies used by Gynecologists and Obstetricians (Ob-gyn) residents in the management of female HSDD. For this, we conducted a data collection of patient medical records of women with HSDD from the Human Sexuality Studies outpatient clinic of the Human Reproduction Center, Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of FMRP-USP, from 2005 to 2019. Among the 437 women included, 361 (82.6%) answered the question concerning the effect of the protocol to which they were submitted, whereas 234 (64.8%) reported improvements in sexual desire. The univariate model showed that patients without chronic pelvic pain were 19.0% less likely to report improvements in HSDD than those with chronic pelvic pain (p = 0.03). Patients without depression and without orgasmic dysfunction were, respectively 32% and 23% more likely to show improvements in their HSDD than those who had depression or orgasmic dysfunction (respectively p = 0.001, p = 0.008). However, the multivariate model did not identify any associations. The assistance regarding HSDD by the Ob-gyn resident in training to deal with female sexual complaints may be effective in improving sexual complaints.
