Causes of decreased libido in women

When a woman's body is ill, there will be some symptoms. Women should pay attention to these symptoms, which will be very helpful for the treatment of the disease. Many women will not do a physical examination before treating the disease. Without a physical examination, they will not have a good grasp of their own condition, and the treatment will not help control the disease. So what are the reasons for women's decreased libido?

Reasons for decreased libido in women:

1. Nutrition:

Nutrition is the material basis of sex. Research results show that the lack of important elements such as protein and zinc can cause sexual dysfunction, especially in men. On the contrary, adequate and complete nutrition, especially eating more foods containing high-quality protein, multiple vitamins and zinc, can maintain normal levels of sexual function.

2. Drugs:

Long-term or excessive use of certain drugs can lead to sexual dysfunction, and even cause impotence in men and frigidity in women. There are many types of drugs that affect sexual function, among which the important and common ones are: reserpine, Rauwolfia, propranolol, chlorpromazine, profenofibrate and some anti-cancer drugs. Long-term radiation therapy can also lead to a decrease in sexual desire.

3. Living conditions:

Living in a messy, poorly ventilated and overcrowded environment will not only cause bad mood, but also lack of fresh air indoors, leading to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, affecting sexual function and reducing sexual desire. Especially when several generations live in the same room or sleep in the same bed with their children, invisible psychological pressure will be created, which can easily lead to a decrease in sexual desire.

4. Emotions

When people are in a bad mood, their sexual desire is likely to temporarily decrease, especially in bad states such as extreme sadness, fear, depression and despair, their sexual desire will be significantly affected or even completely lost. In view of this, when your lover is in a bad mood, the first thing to do is to help him or her eliminate negative emotions and take good care of mental health. You should not have sex at this time.

If your lover just tries to cope with it reluctantly, it will not only fail to arouse pleasure, but will also easily lead to sexual indifference and damage the relationship between the couple.

5. Age:

This is an important factor affecting sexual desire. Most men's sexual desire reaches its peak after puberty, starts to weaken at the age of 30-40, and significantly weakens since around 50 years old, but most can maintain it until 70 years old, or even longer. A woman's sexual desire reaches its peak when she is 30-40 years old, gradually decreases after menopause, and begins to weaken significantly around the age of 60.

6. Emotions:

Humans are different from other animals. The sexual desire of humans is not a simple biological instinct, but is mostly triggered by love. Therefore, when there are emotional problems between husband and wife, especially when it has reached the point of breakdown, they will feel bored with each other and their sexual desire will mostly decrease. Therefore, a harmonious sex life stems from a harmonious relationship between husband and wife.

7. Causes and sexual history:

In addition to internal reasons - the effects of sex hormones - external stimulation is also very important for the occurrence of sexual desire. Living a monotonous life or rarely interacting with others, never reading books or watching movies or watching TV about love, and not talking about related topics, that is, lacking sexual stimulation, sexual desire is suppressed and at a low level. Long-term asexuality or seldom obtaining pleasure and satisfaction may lead to decreased sexual desire. At the same time, excessive sexual activity can also lead to decreased sexual desire.

8. Health status:

The impact of health status on sexual desire is both important and complex. Because only people who are healthy both physically and mentally can maintain a high level of sexual desire for a long time. However, there are some patients with more serious diseases who maintain a strong sexual desire just like healthy people. Therefore, we should distinguish different situations and analyze this issue specifically.

9. Addiction to tobacco and alcohol:

Long-term heavy smoking is more likely to cause impotence than non-smokers. Long-term alcohol abuse can cause sexual dysfunction and decreased libido. According to research, heavy drinking can cause vasodilation, lack of blood flow and pleasure to the penis, leading to a decrease in sexual desire. However, the effects of tobacco and alcohol on sexual function are reversible. After quitting tobacco and alcohol, most people's sexual function can gradually return to normal levels.

10. Season and temperature:

According to surveys, most people have stronger sexual desire in the winter and spring when the temperature is relatively low, especially in spring which is considered to be the season of courtship, while in the sweaty midsummer, sexual desire often temporarily weakens. For some women, sexual desire is closely related to the menstrual cycle, with their sexual desire often increasing a few days before menstruation, while for others, it is stronger about a week after menstruation. Most women experience some decrease in sexual desire during pregnancy.

After understanding the causes of decreased sexual desire in women, the treatment of women's sexual desire problems should be based on the specific conditions of the female body. In order to improve the problem, the female's mentality should also be adjusted. This will help alleviate the sexual desire problem. However, it should be noted that women should actively cooperate during sexual desire treatment.
