Low libido in women is common from time to time, as women's sexual desires naturally fluctuate over the years.<\/p>\n
But, knowing more about the causes and solutions of low libido in women can make your sex life more fulfilling!<\/p>\n
Low libido, also known as low sex drive or low sexual desire, is common during certain life changes and stages.<\/p>\n
Low libido in women can diminish your quality of life or cause relationship problems with your partner.<\/strong><\/p>\n However, a low sex drive isn't something to feel embarrassed or ashamed about, as simple solutions are within reach to boost your sexual desire!<\/p>\n Read on to learn what causes low libido in women … and what you can do about it.<\/p>\n \t\t In just 6-weeks on our FOUNDATIONS<\/u> Program, you'll transform your health and body, for the rest of your life!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Signs and symptoms of low libido in women can vary from person to person.<\/p>\n They often include:<\/p>\n There's no “normal” when it comes to how often you should have \u2014 or want to have \u2014 sexual intercourse. <\/strong><\/p>\n However, if your desire is less than it once was or much lower than your partner's, treatment might help restore your relationship and overall quality of life.<\/p>\n Having low libido from time to time happens to just about everybody.<\/p>\n Common causes and risk factors include:<\/p>\n Because hormones are commonly associated with sexual thoughts and desires, it's no surprise that hormone imbalances can affect libido in women.<\/p>\n For example, suboptimal estrogen<\/a> associated with going through menopause<\/a> or other life stages can lead to low sex drive.<\/p>\n It may also cause vaginal dryness, painful sexual intercourse, weight gain, thinning hair, or other undesirable symptoms.<\/p>\n Specific life stages, including pregnancy<\/a> and breastfeeding<\/a>, are common contributors to low libido in women.<\/p>\n Hormone fluctuations, changes in your body, chronic fatigue, and the demands of caring for a new baby can easily contribute to a low sex drive.<\/p>\n The good news is that your libido might return to its normal state on its own after hormone levels stabilize, or the demands on your time decrease.<\/p>\n If you and your partner struggle with relationship problems, low libido in women can result.<\/p>\n Many women desire emotional closeness to maintain a strong sex drive and fulfilling sexual intercourse.<\/p>\n Relationship problems that can diminish your libido include unresolved fights, lack of an emotional connection, poor communication, trust problems, extramarital affairs, and emotional or physical abuse.<\/p>\n Consider seeing a couple's therapist if you're unable to get through difficult situations on your own.<\/p>\n Your mood and state of mind can significantly affect your ability to get sexually aroused.<\/p>\n Psychological issues that may contribute to low libido in women include anxiety, depression, eating disorders, chronic stress, financial problems, low self-esteem, and a negative body image.<\/p>\n Previous negative sexual encounters and a history of sexual or physical abuse can also contribute to a lack of sexual desire in women.<\/p>\n \t\t In just 6-weeks on our FOUNDATIONS<\/u> Program, you'll transform your health and body, for the rest of your life!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t If you have chronic fatigue because of thyroid problems, other hormone imbalances, medical problems, sleep deprivation, poor nutrition, being overweight or obese, or physical inactivity, reduced sexual desire can result.<\/p>\n Adopting healthy lifestyle habits is one of the best ways to avoid libido-lowering fatigue.<\/p>\n Certain diseases and other medical problems can contribute to low sex drive in women and men.<\/p>\n Examples include high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, neurological diseases, coronary artery disease (CAD), and other health problems.<\/p>\n Properly managing medical issues can reduce your risk of low libido and more serious health problems, such as a heart attack or stroke.<\/p>\n When you take certain prescription medications, such as some antidepressants, sex drive changes may occur.<\/p>\n If you take medications regularly, ask your doctor if low libido in women is a side effect.<\/p>\n If so and low sexual desire negatively affects your life, ask your doctor if they can change up your medication regimen or offer alternative treatments.<\/p>\n Drinking alcohol, using drugs, and smoking can all diminish sexual arousal.<\/p>\n If you choose to drink alcohol, do so in moderation.<\/p>\n This equates to one drink per day (or less) for women.<\/p>\n Avoid tobacco products and steer clear of street drugs entirely.<\/p>\n Doing so optimizes your health and lowers your risk of low libido in women.<\/p>\n \t\tAre you healthy?
