Sexual Dysfunction is a condition that affects more women than men in the world, yet it is often less discussed or studied. In more recent years, researchers have discovered how many women’s lives and sexual experiences are affected by this condition and have started paying a lot more attention to finding its causes and treatments. Female sexual dysfunction, also called FSD, is a condition that causes women to lose their sexual desire. Other symptoms of the condition are an inability to feel or become aroused, reach orgasm or climax and experiencing painful intercourse. Many women are at fault however, as they often assume it is their fault or something they are doing wrong, and the actual problem is completely overlooked. It is therefore crucial to communicate with your partner and your GP if you experience any of the symptoms of FSD, so that together you can find a way to overcome it.
There are many causes of female sexual dysfunction, both physical and psychological. If you are stressed at work, anxious, depressed or suffer from a past traumatic sexual experience, you might find your sexual desire and performance changing for the worse. If you have any physical conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or nerve disorders, you also may be affected and your sexual desire will decrease. Some medications also affect your body. Hormones play a major role in increasing or decreasing your sexual desire too, so if you have had surgery that has removed your ovaries and womb, or are going through menopause, you may find a natural decrease in your hormone levels, and thus a decrease in your sexual desire.
There are many treatments available for female sexual dysfunction. Medical treatments include adjusting medications to accommodate your body, having hormone therapy and addressing hormone changes with medications and treatments. Non medical female sexual dysfunction treatments include therapy, communicating with your partner, leading healthier lifestyles, strengthening your pelvic muscles and taking natural supplements that work to naturally boost your senses and enhance your sexual desires. Many women opt for both kinds of treatment and are amazed at the difference it makes. By addressing female sexual dysfunction you too can enjoy sexual intercourse and experience mind blowing orgasms without worrying about pain, faking it or a lack of sensations.
