Causes of Female
Sexual Dysfunction

Female Sexual Dysfunction, is a major womens health issue.

It is the condition of decreased interest in sexual intercourse, sexual activity, and sexual contact in females.

Reasons for female sexual dysfunction run to feeling sexually unattractive, lack of sexual desire, reluctance to be seen undressed, difficulty with sexual performance, avoidance of sexual encounters and lack of enjoyment of sexual activity.

Sexual difficulties can begin early in a female's sex life or they may develop after she has previously experienced enjoyable and satisfying sex.

The causes of sexual difficulties can be physical, psychological, or both.

Sex Health

Sexual desire disorders or decreased libido can be caused by a decrease in normal estrogen (in women) or testosterone (in both men and women) production.

Although female sexual dysfunction is currently a contested diagnostic, pharmaceutical companies are beginning to promote products to treat FSD, often involving low doses of testosterone.

Other causes may be aging, fatigue, pregnancy, medications (such as the SSRIs) or psychiatric conditions, such as depression and anxiety.

Sexual pain disorders affect women almost exclusively and are known as dyspareunia (painful intercourse). Dyspareunia may be caused by insufficient lubrication (vaginal dryness) in women.

Poor lubrication may result from insufficient excitement and stimulation, or from hormonal changes caused by menopause, pregnancy, or breast-feeding.

Irritation from contraceptive creams and foams can also cause dryness, as can fear and anxiety about sex.

How a female feels about her body is key to her sexual well-being.

Body image is a big part of female sexuality. If she does not feel comfortable with her body as it is, she is not likely to feel comfortable sharing it with someone else.

Female Sexual Dysfunction was previously known as frigidity in women though this have now been replaced with less judgmental terms.

Womens Health Care,
Important Role

When a woman loses interest in sex, we recognize that the loss of interest is a mental thing. Yet, the problem is not in the mind alone.

There is also a chemical side of the female sexual dysfunction problem; a question of nutritional deficiencies, poor elimination, and possibly other ailments of diseases contributing to the problem of female sexual dysfunction.

Though our culture does not "force" us to make poor choices, it does create an atmosphere in which we are are strongly encouraged to make poor choices.

Weight loss may help give you a more positive outlook about your body. Regular exercise and eating healthy can also help improve body image, even without weight loss.

Sexual Enhancement

Caressing is particularly important in leading up to lovemaking,and is often neglected by men who are in a hurry to satisfy an urgent sexual drive.

Women take longer to warm up and become sufficiently aroused for joyful lovemaking, and they are often unable to respond with enthusiasm and excitement until reaching that stage. It takes a good deal of touching and caressing to get there.

Touching includes a broad range of possibilities. It is nice if a couple learns some form of Massage. After a time of touching and caressing, lovemaking is much more intimate, enjoyable, and satisfying.

Good relationships require hard work, But, as with much of life's other efforts, the hard work pays off.

The intimacy of a loving relationship always provides the greatest sex we can experience thereby overcoming female sexual dysfunction.
