Low female libido, medically known as Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD), refers to a persistent or recurrent decrease in sexual desire that causes personal or relational distress. It's not just a normal variation - it's a recognized and treatable medical condition.
How does sexual desire work in women?
Female sexual desire is influenced by a delicate balance between hormones, emotional state, relationship and general well-being. Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone all play a role in libido. When this balance is disturbed, desire can decrease significantly, affecting quality of life and intimate relationships.
The main causes :
Hormonal causes: drop in estrogen linked to the menopause or perimenopause, low testosterone levels, post-partum hormonal imbalances, hormonal contraception.
Psychological and emotional causes: chronic stress, anxiety, depression, negative body image, history of trauma, relationship problems.
Medical causes: chronic illnesses, pain during intercourse, side effects of certain medications, thyroid disorders, chronic fatigue.
Important to know:
Medical treatment for low female libido has come a long way. Medications approved by Health Canada are now available to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder. A thorough medical evaluation will identify the precise cause and suggest the most appropriate treatment for your situation.
