Sexual Problems in Women


There are many problems that can keep a woman from enjoying sex. They include
  • Lack of sexual desire
  • Inability to become aroused
  • Lack of orgasm, or sexual climax
  • Painful intercourse
                         These problems may have physical or psychological causes. Physical causes may include conditions like diabetes, heart disease, nerve disorders, or hormone problems. Some drugs can also affect desire and function. Psychological causes may include work-related stress and anxiety. They may also include depression or concerns about marriage or relationship problems. For some women, the problem results from past sexual trauma.
Occasional problems with sexual function are common. If problems last more than a few months or cause distress for you or your partner, you should see your health care provider.


What is female Sexual Dysfunction(FSD)?

                       Many women have a low sex drive or trouble having an orgasm. Some women are not bothered by this, but others are. A woman has female sexual dysfunction, also called FSD, when she is upset or unhappy about her sexual health. Studies show that about 33% of American women have low sex drive. Of those, about one in three women are upset about having low sex drive. That’s about 10% of all women in the United States.
There are several types of sexual dysfunction:
  1. Low sexual desire
  2. Trouble becoming aroused
  3. Trouble having an orgasm
  4.  Pain during sex
                              A woman might have more than one of these issues, which are often related to each other. Sexual dysfunction can be lifelong or temporary. It can happen all the time, only with a certain partner, or only at certain times, such as after pregnancy.

A healthy sex life depends on a complex mix of many factors. The same is true for a troubled sex life. Health issues, certain prescription medicines, changes in hormone levels, partner or family issues, and psychological concerns can all contribute to FSD.

What are the causes of FSD?

General Physical
  • Health problems: diabetes, heart disease, cancer, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or alcohol abuse
  • Medicines to treat high blood pressure, depression, pain; oral contraceptives
Gynecological
  • Medical conditions such as endometriosis, cystitis, pelvic muscle problems, or chronic pelvic pain
  • Pelvic or genital surgeries that cause scarring, decreased blood flow, or nerve damage to the genital area
Hormonal
  • A drop in estrogen levels from menopause (natural or surgical) or premature ovarian failure (when the ovaries stop working before age 40), which can cause vaginal dryness and painful intercourse
  • Possibly, a drop in levels of testosterone, which women produce in small amounts, after removal of the ovaries*
Psychological and Emotional
  • Mental distress: stress, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, past sexual abuse, fear of unwanted pregnancy
  • Relationship issues: boredom, anger, abuse (physical or emotional)
  • Religious or cultural beliefs about sex.
