problems with their sex lives.
Effective treatments are
available for most common
forms of female sexual
dysfunction.
There are four main types of
female sexual dysfunction.
Lack of Interest in Sex
There are many reasons why a
woman may not be interested
in sex. She may be too tired.
She may be annoyed with her
partner. Her hormone levels
may be out of balance and
affecting her interest.
If you have experienced a
sudden lack of interest in sex,
talk to your doctor. There may
be a biological cause. Your
doctor can also refer you to a
sex therapist for counseling. If
you want to be interested in
sex, you can usually learn how
to make that happen.
Difficulty Becoming Aroused
Difficulties becoming aroused,
or maintaining arousal, are not
uncommon. These problems
may be medically based. They
may also be based in
relationship problems. Sexual
beliefs can affect your ability
to become aroused.
If you are concerned about
problems with arousal, talk to a
doctor. Help may be available.
Some arousal problems
respond best to medical
therapy. Other women just
need help with stress reduction
and improving their
relationships.
Painful Sex
Sexual intercourse shouldn’t be
painful. If you are having pain
during sex, talk to your doctor.
There are several potential
causes of sexual pain. These
include:
endometriosis
fibroids
