What is female sexual dysfunction ?

Sexual problems can place a lot of stress on a relationship. A combination of these problems are commonly known as female sexual dysfunction(FSD). If you are suffering from FSD, then you should not feel depressed, insecure, or hopeless. It is a common problem and affects women due to many physiological as well as physical reasons. Medicines likes intrinsa patches can be used by women to get rid of FSD.

There are millions of women worldwide who suffer from FSD. The main symptoms are lack of sexual desire, less pleasure during sexual intercourse, dryness of the vagina and/or inability to achieve an orgasm.

Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is also known as Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD). In order to understand FSD better, we should first have a look at how the female body functions sexually.

When women become sexually stimulated, they experience enlargement of the clitoris and its surrounding parts. Vagina secretes a fluid, which acts as lubricant. The opening of the vagina becomes wide and relaxed to ensure a smooth sexual intercourse.

female sexual dysfunction patients face a major problem. They sometimes may have the desire to have sexual intercourse with their partners but their bodies don't function as they normally would , making it a painful experience for them.

In other instances the desire to have sex may also be absent, but this is largely caused due to psychological factors.

Causes for female sexual dysfunction

There are many causes of FSD. Some women may get sexual dysfunction due to irritations, allergies of the vaginal area or reactions due to use of contraceptive devices.

Some women, who take medications for treating other medical conditions such as high blood pressure, peptic ulcers, depression, anxiety, or any type of cancer, may also suffer from dysfunction.

Pregnancy is an important phase in the reproductive life of a woman. They face great physical, hormonal, and emotional changes during and after pregnancy. Some women may also experience dysfunction due to the physiological impact pregnancy and giving birth has on their lives. The most prominent psychological causes include depression, poor self-esteem, ineffective foreplay, feeling guilty about having sex, fear of pregnancy, stress, and fatigue.

Some women also face problems to orgasm, which are also part of female sexual dysfunction. This problem is commonly known as Female Orgasmic Disorder (FOD). In this type of problem, women get sufficient sexual arousal but still fail to achieve an orgasm.

Not all women are able to achieve sexual orgasm through any type of sexual activity. This condition is known as anorgasmia, which may occur due to many reasons such as sexual inexperience, performance anxiety, or even sexual trauma.
