Sometimes we want sex, sometimes we do not which is normal. Every woman has her own level of what is considered “normal” based on their own experiences and biological drive. But when a woman has a low libido or low sexual desire and is bothered by this lack of interest in sex, she may have a condition called hypoactive sexual desire disorder or sexual desire disorderUploaded Image

SYMPTOMS OF HYPOACTIVE SEXUAL DESIRE DISORDER

If one want to have sex less often than their partner does, neither one of her is necessarily outside the norm for people at their stage in life ,although their differences may cause distress.

Similarly, even if one sex drive is weaker than it once was, their relationship may be stronger than ever.

Bottom line: There is no magic number to define low sex drive. It varies among women.

  • Having no interest in any type of sexual activity, including masturbation
  • Never or only seldom having sexual fantasies or thoughts
  • Being concerned by their lack of sexual activity or fantasies

Hormone changes

Changes in hormone levels may alter desire for sex. This can occur during:

  • Menopause-Estrogen levels drop during the transition to menopause. This can make less interested in sex and cause dry vaginal tissues, resulting in painful or uncomfortable sex. Although many women still have satisfying sex during menopause and beyond, some experience a lagging libido during this hormonal change.
  • Pregnancy and breast-feeding- Hormone changes during pregnancy, just after having a baby and during breast-feeding can put a damper on sex drive. Fatigue, changes in body image, and the pressures of pregnancy or caring for a new baby also can contribute to changes in your sexual desire.
