Low Sex Drive in Women | May, 2010

What is low sex drive? In medical terms, it is a low or absent desire for sexual intimacy that causes personal distress. Women's sex drive may fluctuate over the years, due to major life changes or relationship status; however, there are many other factors that contribute to low sex drive in women during various points of their life.

There are physical causes such as pain during sex which can lower desire for intimacy, medical causes that include arthritis, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and lastly, medications such as anti-depressants, and chemotherapy that can have a negative impact on women and can result in low libido.

Another cause of a low sex drive in woman is hormonal changes. During menopause a woman's estrogen levels decrease which cause an uncomfortable experience during intercourse as estrogen is responsible for the health of the vagina and sex interest. Hormonal changes can also occur during or after pregnancy and can put a hold on a woman's sex drive.

There are even psychological causes to a low sex drive such as depression, anxiety, stress, a low self esteem, and a history of physical or sexual abuse. Relationship issues like the lack of connection, unsolved conflicts and poor communication can also be a major mental health factor in a low sex drive because for many women, emotional closeness is essential to sexual intimacy.
