Having no interest in sex ???? Are You suffering from Low Libido which affects your relationship???


LOW LIBIDO IN WOMEN????


Loss of sexual desire, known in medical terms as Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD), is the most common form of sexual dysfunction among women of all ages. A recent study showed that nearly one-third of women aged 18 to 59 suffer from a lost interest in sex, and it's not all in their heads.
Desire for sex is based on a complex interaction of many things affecting intimacy, including physical and emotional well-being, experiences, beliefs, lifestyle, and your current relationship. If you're experiencing a problem in any of these areas, it can affect your desire for sex.

What are the symptoms???

When a woman experiences a significant decrease in interest in sex that is having an effect on her life and is causing distress, then it's considered a problem of low sexual desire or HSDD.
She may have... 
  • little to no interest in sexual activity
  • few to no sexual thoughts or fantasies
  • disinterest in initiating sex
  • difficulty getting pleasure from sex
  • lack of pleasurable sensations when the genitals are stimulated.

Causes can be.....

Medical problems

  • Mental illnesses such as depression
  • Medical conditions, such as endometriosis
  • fibroids
  • thyroid disorders
  • arthritis
  • PCOS
  • coronary artery disease
  • diabetes
  • decreased estrogen or testosterone levels
  • hormonal changes during or after pregnancy
  • fatigue or exhaustion due to a grueling work, family, or school schedule
  • taking certain medications that affect sex drive like birth control pills

Psychological issues

State of mind can affect sexual desire. There are many psychological causes of low sex drive, including:
  • Mental health problems, such as anxiety or depression
  • Stress, such as financial stress or work stress
  • Poor body image
  • Low self-esteem
  • History of physical or sexual abuse
  • Previous negative sexual experiences

Relationship issues

For many women, emotional closeness is an essential prelude to sexual intimacy. So problems in your relationship can be a major factor in low sex drive. Decreased interest in sex is often a result of ongoing issues, such as:
  • Lack of connection with your partner
  • Unresolved conflicts or fights
  • Poor communication of sexual needs and preferences
  • Trust issues

Age Factor

  •  Blood levels of androgens fall continuously in women as they age.
