Could the Pill Lower a Woman's Sex Drive? | May, 2010

There are many pills, but when someone says "THE pill" - there's little doubt which one they're referring to. There's been a lot of talk lately, regarding some of the sexual side effects associated with the use of hormonal contraception, such as birth control pills. According to Businessweek, studies published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine suggest that women using birth control were more likely to suffer from low libido, lack of orgasm, inhibited sexual desire and satisfaction and vaginal dryness. In addition to the pill, experts believe that a variety of other factors impact a woman's sexual function as well, including stress, smoking, pregnancy, relationship status and the desire for children. Despite the fact that hormonal contraception is indisputably the most effective contraceptive method available, women should still be aware of the risks and understand how outside factors may increase their chances of sexual dysfunction, while taking the pill.

As women age, their hormones gradually begin to decline. When this occurs, it's common for women to experience symptoms associated with female sexual dysfunction (FSD). FSD is an umbrella-term used to describe a constellation of symptoms that commonly affect menopausal and post-menopausal women. However, studies indicate that more and more women are experiencing symptoms at an earlier age. If you think you might be experiencing symptoms of an early menopause, the highly trained bioidentical hormone doctors at BodyLogicMD can help.
