Impotence in Women
Women Impotence or female sexual dysfunction is an intermittent problem with sexual response, desire, orgasm or pain. It is a withdrawn or inhibited sexual desire (ISD) which is characterized by a lack of sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity
Inhibited sexual desire (ISD) refers to a low level of sexual interest resulting in a failure to initiate or respond to a sexual activity or intimacy. ISD is a primary condition where an individual has never felt much sexual desire, or secondary where lack of interest is something new. ISD is also sometimes specific to the partner, or it may be a general attitude toward any potential partner
A diagnosis of hypoactive sexual desire disorder refers to a persistent or recurring lack of desire or an absence of sexual fantasies. However, sexual performance may be satisfactory once the activity has been initiated. This disorder occurs more common in women although it affects both sexes
Low sexual desire disorder (sexual desire/interest disorder) is a lack of interest in sexual activity and sexual thoughts. It is caused by depression, anxiety, stress, relationship problems, past experiences, drugs, and, less often, hormonal changes which reduce sexual desire. Improving the relationship and the setting for sexual activity and identifying what stimulates the woman sexually can help
A temporary reduction in sexual interest is common. It is often caused by temporary conditions, such as fatigue. As a matter of fact, low sexual desire disorder causes sexual thoughts, fantasies, and desire for sexual activity to be decreased over a long period of time and more than would be expected for a woman's age and the length of the sexual relationship. It is considered a disorder only if it distresses women and if desire is absent throughout the sexual experience
Depression, anxiety, stress, or problems in a relationship commonly reduce sexual desire and motivation. Having a poor sexual self-image also contributes, as does having unrewarding sexual experiences, which may occur because one or both partners lack skill or because the woman does not communicate her sexual needs. Women with this disorder tend to be anxious and to have frequent changes in mood
Because levels of sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone decrease with age, sexual desire might be expected to similarly decrease with age. However, overall, low sexual desire disorder is as common among young healthy women as it is among older women. Still, changes in sex hormones sometimes cause low desire. For example, in young healthy women, sudden drops in levels of sex hormones, as may occur during the first few weeks after childbirth, may cause sexual desire to decrease. In middle-aged and older women, sexual desire may decrease, but a connection between the decrease and hormones has not been proved. In younger women, removal of both ovaries causes a very sudden drop in sex hormones ( estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone ), as well as infertility. Also, the cause for removal may be cancer. All of these effects may contribute to low sexual desire
One of the most helpful measures is for women to identify and tell their partner which things stimulate them. Women may need to remind their partner that they need preparatory activities involving touching in order to get ready for sexual activity. For example, talking intimately, watching a romantic or erotic video, or dance. Women may want to kiss, hug, or cuddle. They may want their partner to touch various parts of their body, then the breasts or genitals (foreplay) before moving to sexual intercourse or other sexual activity that involves penetration. Couples may experiment with different techniques or activities including fantasy and sex toys to find effective stimuli
If the cause is pain due to atrophic vaginitis, women may benefit from estrogen. If atrophic vaginitis develops after menopause, taking estrogen by mouth or applying an estrogen patch or gel to an arm or a leg, may be recommended. These forms of estrogen affect the whole body and can thus help improve mood, lessen hot flashes and sleep problems, keep the vagina healthy, and maintain adequate lubrication for sexual intercourse. All of these effects may make women more likely to be interested in sex
