Female Sexual Dysfunction

Female sexual dysfunction or FSD is not as well recognized or known about as male impotence or erectile dysfunction. Though both are sexual problems, treatments for male sexual dysfunction have been available for a long time while treatments for FSD have only just become available. Female sexual dysfunction is generally categorised as follows: a lack of arousal or desire to have sex, dyspareunia (pain or discomfort during intercourse), diminished blood flow to the vagina and an inability to achieve orgasm.

Female sexual dysfunction can happen to women at any age, but predominantly occurs after menopause, when hormone production drops and vascular conditions are more common.

The causes of female sexual dysfunction

It's not menopause that is the only factor to blame for FSD. There are many more causes of female sexual dysfunction:

• Alcohol and smoking
• Emotional problems, distraction
• Episode of sexual abuse in the past
• Relationship problems
• Illnesses
• Negative body perception
• Stress, anxiety, and depression
• Bicycle riding
• Drugs and medications, birth control pill, seizure medications
• Spinal cord injury (can cause nerve damage; paralysis)
• Surgery (of or near reproductive-urinary system or abdomen; may damage nerves)
• Urinary incontinence (can cause embarrassment and avoidance of sex)
• Hysterectomy
• Atherosclerosis – hardening of the arteries
• Vaginal atrophy

If FSD is brought on in women by social or psychological problems, they need to seek counselling sessions with a medical practitioner. If however, there are physical factors such as past surgery, menopause and a hysterectomy then FSD treatment should be sought.

You should seek online clinic or medical help at first if you experience the following symptoms:

• Low sex drive
• Inability to attain or maintain arousal
• Inability to reach orgasm
• Pain during sexual intercourse

Treatment for female sexual dysfunction

Treatments for female sexual dysfunction were not commonly available in the past. However, there is now a treatment for female sexual dysfunction. This treatment is available on prescription and is called Intrinsa patches.

Intrinsa works as a hormone replacement therapy and supplies a sexual hormone called testosterone through the skin. Testosterone plays a direct role in sexual desire in both men and women. Intrinsa patches help to increase the levels of testosterone in menopausal women suffering from female sexual dysfunction.
