Female Sexual Dysfunction

Sexual dysfunction in women may involve a reduction in sex drive, a strong dislike of sexual activity, difficulty becoming aroused, inability to achieve orgasm, or pain with sexual activity or intercourse.

Sexual dysfunction in women is largely due to psychological problems but recent research has also shown the following to be the common causes:

• Anxiety or depression
• Changes related to menopause
• Communication problems with partner
• Damage to nerves due to surgery or trauma
• Fear of pain, infection, or being pregnant
• Feelings of guilt and shame about sex
• History of sexual abuse
• Infection or gynecological disease
• Lack of appropriate stimulation
• Lack of lubrication
• Medication
• Stress or fatigue
