Low libido in women
Do you WANT to have sex?
Low libido, or a bothersome decrease in sexual desire- formally called Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) is the MOST common sexual complaint among women.
If this sounds like you, here are a few reasons why you should consider seeking treatment for your low libido:
- 1. Enhanced Emotional Well-being: A satisfying sexual relationship can have a positive impact on mental health and happiness. Low libido can lead to feelings of frustration, insecurity, and decreased intimacy in relationships. Treating low libido can improve emotional well-being and strengthen relationships.
- 2. Improved Sexual Functioning: Low libido can also lead to sexual dysfunction, such as difficulty becoming aroused or reaching orgasm. Treating low libido can help restore sexual function and improve the overall sexual experience.
- 3. Increased Confidence: Low libido can cause women to feel less confident in their sexuality. Treating low libido can increase confidence and self-esteem, leading to a more fulfilling and enjoyable sexual life.
There are various treatments available to help restore libido. Our fellowship-trained female pelvic medicine specialist and sexual medicine specialist can help you get that WANT back.
