A method for treating female sexual dysfunction by subcutaneous electrical stimulation of a peripheral nerve innervating at least a portion of the vulva is disclosed. A lead is placed subcutaneously over a peripheral nerve that innervates at least a portion of the vulva and clitoris. The peripheral nerve is electrically stimulated to cause paresthesia. The method encompasses subcutaneous placement of an electrical lead near any peripheral nerve innervating at least a portion of the vulva and subsequent electrical stimulation of the nerve to cause paresthesia. Further, a method for treating intractable pain of the vulva using percutaneous and subcutaneous peripheral nerve electrostimulation techniques is disclosed.
