Female Sexual Dysfunction – What is it?

Learn more about the causes of FSD.

Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a very common problem, affecting almost 40% of women. FSD is more typical as women age and is a progressive and widespread condition. Currently there are few treatment options available for women with female sexual dysfunction.

Common symptoms associated with FSD include diminished vaginal lubrication, pain and discomfort upon intercourse, decreased sense of arousal and difficulty in achieving orgasm. Only a small percentage of women with FSD actually seek medical attention.

Female sexual dysfunction occurs when a woman is not able to fully, healthily, and pleasurably experience some or all of the various physical stages the body normally experiences during sexual activity. These stages can be broadly thought of as the desire phase, the arousal phase, and the orgasm phase. Sexual dysfunction also includes painful intercourse.

In women, sexual dysfunction takes many forms and has numerous causes. It is important to address all the aspects of a woman’s sexuality – whether physical, psychological, physiological (mechanical), or interpersonal – in order to resolve the problems.

 

Causes of Female Sexual Dysfunction

What causes female sexual dysfunction in women? There are many different things that can all be contributing factors in FSD.

Female sexual dysfunction may be related to physical factors, psychological factors, or a mixture of both. It can also be a matter of problems with technique: some women never fully experience sexual arousal and orgasm because they or their partners lack sexual knowledge. They may not understand how female sex organs respond or are stimulated, or don’t use appropriate arousal techniques.

At the same time, sexual dysfunction has a strong interpersonal component. A person’s view of their own sexuality is largely influenced by culture, society, and personal experience. It may be intimately connected to their own or society’s ideas about the appropriate or inappropriate expression of sexual behavior. These feelings may cause anxiety because of a personal or cultural association of sexual experience and pleasure with immorality and bad behavior. Anxiety is then expressed physically by the body in a way that prevents normal sexual function. Anxiety can do this, for example, by stopping or slowing the state of sexual excitement that allows for the lubrication or moistening of the female genitalia – an important step towards fulfilling forms of sexual activity.

Personal character, disposition, and life experience play a role in sexual dysfunction. Fear of intimacy can be a factor in arousal problems. Experiences of abuse, either in childhood or in past or current relationships, can establish a cycle of associating sex with psychological or physical pain. Attempting sexual activity in these circumstances causes more psychological or physical pain. For example, if anxiety prevents lubrication, sexual intercourse can be painful.

Conflict, tension, and incompatibility with a sexual partner can cause sexual dysfunction. Depression may be a cause, and stress a contributing factor. Medications, including antihypertensives, antidepressants, and tranquilizers are very common causes of sexual dysfunction. If you’re taking any of these medications, talk to your doctor about its possible contribution to sexual problems.

Physical causes include disorders of the genitalia and the urinary system, such as endometriosis, cystitis, vaginal dryness, or vaginitis. Other conditions such as hypothyroidism, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, or muscular dystrophy can have an impact on sexual desire and ability. Surgical removal of the uterus or of a breast may contribute psychologically to sexual dysfunction if a woman feels her self-image has been damaged.

Certain prescription and over-the-counter medications as well as the use of illegal drugs or abuse of alcohol may contribute to sexual dysfunction. Cigarette smoking and obesity may have a negative effect on sexual arousal in women.

Although women can remain sexually active and experience orgasms throughout their lives, sexual activity often decreases after age 60. While part of this may be due to a lack of partners, changes such as dryness of the vagina caused by lack of estrogen after menopause may make intercourse painful and reduce desire. After menopause, women also have a noticeable decline in sexual interest.

5 Tips for improving female sexual dysfunction in women.

5 tips to boost female libido

1) Stop smoking.

Smoking can be a huge contributor to low libido in women as it negatively impacts several areas of female health, including the reproductive organs.

Smoking also impedes normal circulation and blood flow in the body, which also negatively affects normal sexual function in women.

Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, meaning it tightens blood vessels and restricts blood flow. In the long term, it has even been shown to cause permanent damage to arteries.

During sexual arousal, the labia, clitoris, and vagina also swell up with blood, similar to a man’s penis, enhancing sensation and excitement.

If nicotine can restrict blood flow and cause erectile dysfunction in men, it is reasonable to predict that blood flow is restricted in women as well, and may also have a negative effect on sensation.

 

2) Take a daily supplement.

Many women don’t realize that most female sexual supplements actually include several ingredients known to provide positive effects on overall health and nutrition. In addition to boosting female libido, an herbal supplement can work to improve your cardiac and digestive health.

Try and find a supplement that includes ingredients like Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng. Ginkgo Biloba is an extract derived from the leaf of the Chinese ginkgo tree, and has been shown to treat antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction.

 

3) Boost your self-confidence.

For many women, the way you feel about your body affects the way you feel about sex. An unhealthy diet and lack of exercise may cause you to have a poor self-image. These things can discourage you from having and enjoying sex.

You can boost your self-esteem and your sex drive by shifting the focus from your flaws to your attributes. You can also focus on the pleasure experienced during sex.

 

4) Change your birth control.

Many women can spend several years taking birth control pills, which can be a major suppressor of female libido and sexual arousal. One of the ironic truths regarding birth control pills is that one of the common side effects of this birth control method is that it often results in a marked decrease in the desire to actually have sex.

Obviously we’re not advocating abandoning your birth control altogether, but consider another type of female birth control such as IUD’s or a diaphragm, or have your partner use condoms. Birth control pills can have a very strong effect on several aspects of female health, and you may see a substantial increase in your libido simply by not taking ‘the pill’ anymore.

 

5) Chocolate!

Most of us don’t need too much convincing to give this one a try, but there is actually some merit in using chocolate to increase libido in women. Throughout history chocolate has been a symbol of desire. Not just because of its delicious taste, but because of its power to improve sexual pleasure.

According to one study, chocolate promotes the release of phenylethylamine and serotonin into your body. This can produce some aphrodisiac and mood-lifting effects.

 

As you can see, there are many tips to help improve female libido – and many of them you can start right now in the comfort of your own home. Exercise, proper nutrition, and minor lifestyle changes can all result in huge improvements in your libido!

With a little effort and awareness, you could find yourself enjoying the best sex of your life! There are many options to boost female sexual desire and enjoyment, and these include things like female sexual enhancement supplements, improved lubricants and gels, and sex toys or accessories.
