Possible Causes of Low Libido in Women
Low libido in women often stems from psychological factors, such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. However, there can also be a physical component to sexual dysfunction. For instance, genitourinary syndrome during menopause can cause discomfort during sex due to vaginal dryness and shrinking of the vagina. This is often the result of a lack of hormones present after a women’s menopausal years. Regardless of the cause, the providers at Consultants in Women’s Healthcare are committed to helping you understand and find a solution to sexual dysfunction. Some possible diagnostic options include asking about medical and sexual history, blood testing for various medical disorders, and pelvic examination to check for signs of physical changes that may be contributing to low libido.
