The 11th edition of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) is due to come into force in 2022. The goal of the present partial evaluation of the GeSiD study findings is to provide the first ever estimate of the prevalence of different types of sexual dysfunction in Germany as defined by the diagnostic guidelines that are soon to take effect. ⋯ The findings of this study indicate the importance of sexual dysfunction as an obstacle to sexual health. The study provides the first prevalence estimates for the new ICD-11 guidelines and simultaneously offers a screening instrument for sexual dysfunction that can be used economically in routine practice.
