If you are a woman in your 50s or 60s your libido maybe slipping away because you are going through menopause or perimenopause. If you are a younger woman, say, in your 30s or 40s and have low libido, your problem might be a bit more complicated than that.
A woman's libido is usually affected by her hormones. It could also be due to an illness or a disease. In some cases, low libido can be brought about by psychological issues, abuse of drugs, or due to memories of abuse.
Because there are so many factors that can cause low libido, it's important for you to pay attention not only the physical disorders that may be attributed as the cause but also to the surrounding psychological circumstances that may contribute to it. Below is a short list of possible causes of low libido in younger women that you should be aware of when seeking for medical help.
Stress can make a woman aversive towards sex. Marital therapists note that when a woman’s need for love, security, and communication aren't met, it will be more difficult for her to feel aroused as often as a woman who is happy, relaxed and cared for. It is therefore important that reaffirmation be always be given to you by your spouse or partner if you are experiencing low libido. A little understanding and affection can make wonders in rebuilding your sex life.
Anemia is a condition that is marked by low levels of red blood cells. Since red blood cells bring oxygen to your body's genital organs, your blood’s circulation plays a significant role in building your libido. Anemia can also cause fatigue which commonly acts an anti-libido agent. Without the nutrients necessary to feed the cells in the sex organ, your female organ becomes desensitized making it difficult for you to feel sensations during sexual intercourse.
Diabetes is one major libido killer. Since blood flow in diabetic patients is hampered, the body is unable to oxygenize the female genitals, which is necessary for sexual sensation. Dehydration, which is common in diabetics, can also cause a reduction in the natural vaginal lubrication, making sex painful and difficult.
Prohibited drugs and even over-the-counter medications can damage your libido. Tranquilizers and mood-altering medications are usually the worst culprits as they behave as euphoric agents. Not only do they dull your mind from pain, they also inhibit the sensations you need for sex.
FSAD is a common term used to describe low libido in women. Even more common than FSAD is the word “frigid.” Doctors believe that FSAD is a mere “catch-all” disorder invented as a dumpsite for situations where the real reason for low libido in a woman cannot be properly determined. If you are diagnosed with FSAD, it is recommended you seek treatment from a therapist. It could be possible that your condition is more on the psychological side and a therapist will be able to help you with that.
According to the National Women's Health Resource Center (NWHRC), women who have been abused or molested during childhood often tend to be guarded in bed. The idea of sexual arousal can bring back traumatic experiences that lead psychological pain. As a result, these women view sex as a source of distress instead of a source of pleasure.
Hormonal disorders are common low libido culprits. Many women who fail to enjoy sex are also usually found to have abnormally low testosterone levels. Testosterones play an important impact on your sex drive as they are the agents that stimulate your arousal.
If have low libido due to your testosterone deficiency, this shouldn’t be a source of worry. Testosterone deficiency in women is easily augmented by testosterone creams.
