Mrs T
I sincerely hope my detail information below will serve as a rider to understanding your problem.
The term sexual dysfunction describes a person’s inability to fully, healthily, and pleasurably experience some or all of the various physical states or stages the body normally goes through during sexual activity. In women, sexual dysfunction takes many forms and has numerous causes, but a particular kind of dysfunction at one stage of sexual activity is often connected to a dysfunction of another. This makes it important to address all the sexuality’s aspects – whether
1. Physical
2. Psychological
3. Physiological
4. Interpersonal
Causes of Female Sexual Dysfunction
Female sexual dysfunction could be due to:
1. A physiological basis in the body (something is physically wrong)
2. A psychological basis in the mind, or the result of both underlying mental and physical problems.
3. It can also be a matter of problems with technique: some women never fully experience sexual arousal and orgasm because they or their partners lack sexual knowledge
4. They may not understand how the female sex organs respond or are stimulated, or don’t use appropriate arousal techniques
5. In these cases, lack of understanding of the function of the female sex organ producing orgasm may be at the root of the problem.
Other causes are;
1. Conflict, tension, and incompatibility with a sexual partner can cause sexual dysfunction.
2. Depression
3. Stress
4. Medications, including oral contraceptives, antihypertensives, antidepressants, and tranquilizers are very common causes of sexual dysfunction
5. Physical causes include disorders of the genitalia and the urinary system such as cystitis (bladder problem), vaginal dryness, or vaginitis.
6. Other conditions such as diabetes mellitus can have an impact on sexual desire and ability. Surgical removal of the uterus or of a breast may contribute psychologically to sexual dysfunction if a woman feels her self-image has been damaged.
Symptoms and complications of female sexual dysfunction
1. lack of sexual desire (low libido)
2. inability to attain an orgasm
3. experience pain or other distress on penile penetration
4. an inability to fantasize about sexual situations
5. indifference to, or repulsion by, having sex
6. feelings of fear or anger towards their partners
Establishing the cause of sexual dysfunction is half way in solving the problem. The stage of sexual activity at which a woman is having problems may offer some clues. Other evidence may be found through physical and psychological testing.
Treating and preventing female sexual dysfunction
1. Physical disorders should be treated if found
2. For decreased desire associated with aging and dryness of the vagina, a combination of the hormones testosterone and estrogen can be effective.
3. When psychological factors are foremost, counseling from a psychiatrist, psychologist, or sex therapist may help to remove or reduce the causes.
4. To both treat and prevent sexual dysfunction, women should understand how their sex organs work and how they can respond.
5. Activities like “Kegel exercises” involve repeated clenching of the vaginal muscles and improving muscle tone, as well as a sense of control and the quality of orgasm. This is one technique of many that women of every age can use in order to enhance sexual pleasure.
