Endocrine disrupting chemicals and female sexual health: An emerging research priority

Female sexual function is understudied in environmental health research as an important and distinct health endpoint. Limited toxicological and epidemiological evidence suggests that EDCs may influence sexual health given their ability to dysregulate neurological and hormonal processes underlying female sexual function. Focusing future research efforts on EDCs and female sexual function will help to inform clinical practice, policies, and public health interventions with important implications for female sexuality, health, and wellbeing.
