Female Sexual Dysfunction

A survey conducted by the American Medical Association in 1999 concludes, sexual dysfunction affects approximately 43% of women under the age of 60 in the United States. Sexual dysfunction in women is more common after menopause, when hormone production drops and circulatory conditions are more common. It is estimated that as many as half of all post-menopausal women experience sexual dysfunction. This is why Herbal-Powers.com is pleased to offer female libido enhancers. Before you decide which of our female libido enhancers is right for you, read below for more information and order today.

Types of sexual dysfunction

Female sexual dysfunction can be divided into at least four types:

  • Low sexual desire – Uninterested in sex, poor female libido or lack of sex drive. This is the most common type ox sexual disorder in women.
  • Sexual arousal disorder -- Although women have desire for sex, they are unable to become aroused or maintain arousal during sexual activity. A lifelong diminished capacity for sexual arousal may be related to ignorance of genital anatomy and function, particularly clitoral function, and of effective arousal techniques. Guilt and fear of intimacy may also be involved.
  • Orgasmic disorder – Persistent or recurrent difficulty is achieving orgasm after sufficient sexual arousal and ongoing stimulation. Drugs, particulary selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors for depression, may inhibit orgasm. Depression is a leading cause of decreased arousal and orgasm. About 10% of women never attain orgasm regardless of stimulation or situation. Many women can attain orgasm with clitoral stimulation, but only about 50% of women regularly attain orgasm during intercourse.
  • Sexual pain disorder – Pain associated with sexual stimulation, intercourse or vaginal contact.

Treatment

There are three primary types of experimental treatment for female sexual dysfunction:

  • Education on female anatomy, arousal, and response; where blood flow, hormone levels, and sexual anatomy are normal
  • Hormone replacement therapy
  • Vascular treatment

Psychology Disorder of Sexual Dysfunction
Lack of sex drive is often psychological such as relationship with her partner, family concerns,financial problems, job worries, chronic anxiety, childcare responsibilities, trying to balance career with children, religious or cultural beliefs, unresolved sexual orientation, previous traumatic sexual experience, including rape, a history of physical, sexual or emotional abuse.

Couples should try to discuss the matter openly to find solutions to improve their sexual relationship. Counseling can help with larger issues, like a mismatched sex drive or orgasm troubles, and ease the anger and resentment that can interfere with satisfying sex.

Physical Disorder of Sexual Dysfunction

Female sexual dysfunction can also be physically rooted. Causes include fatigue, depression, high blood pressure, hormonal insufficiency, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, adrenal insufficiency, neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis, chronic liver disease, breast-feeding, recovery after childbirth, autoimmune disorders, drugs and alcohol abuse, and prescription drugs for high blood pressure, depression and anxiety.
