Reasons for dip in sex drive
Many women experience at least one dip in their sex
drive, often several. It could be short term or
longer term, but either way it's an unfortunate
occurrence. Don't you want to go back to the level
of desire you had when you were in your twenties?
There's no need to just accept that you're not
interested in sex right now. Lack of sex affects
intimacy between a couple, as well as affects mood.
Research has been done over the years into improving
women's libido, and with a little information you
can go back to feeling like how you did, before
work, family and age took too much out of you.
Thankfully, there are now multiple treatments
available to women with low libidos. Finding out
what is causing the dip in sex drive is important to
figure out which form of treatment might be most
effective. Treatments range from counselling to
simple lifestyle changes, to estrogen patches and
prescription drugs. The problem could either be
physical or emotional. Finding out why you're
experiencing a low sex drive is vital to finding out
how to fix the problem.
Some physical factors include, but are not limited
to: hormone deficiency, stress, childbirth,
hyperthyroidism, low levels of testosterone,
diabetes, and some forms of medication. Talking to
your doctor may help to pinpoint the cause, and they
can discuss solutions with you.
Fatigue, stress and health are three big factors
that affect not only your libido but every aspect of
your life.
Your doctor may suggest an estrogen patch or pill,
which is used to treat the symptoms of menopause.
Some doctors prescribe taking male virility drugs
like Viagra as a means to increase sexual desire.
While the drug may indeed increase sexual desire,
there have been no official reports released yet on
the results for women. There are also a number of
side effects that may not be worth it. It's
important to discuss options with your doctor.
