Six Common Causes For A Loss Of Sexual Desire And Drive In Women....CONTINUE READING
The desire of women to have intercourse may reduce or be lost as a result of certain factors. It may be caused by a health problem.
According to WebMD, common triggers of a loss of intercourse desire and drive in women are:
1. Interpersonal relationship issues
Partner performance issues, lack of emotional satisfaction with the relationship, the birth of a child, and becoming a caregiver for a loved one can lead to a decline in intercourse desire.
2. Sociocultural influences
Job stress and peer pressure can negatively influence intercourse desire.
3. Low male hormone
The male hormone affects intercourse drive in both men and women. Male hormone levels peak in women’s mid-20s and then steadily reduce until menopause when they drop dramatically.
4. Medical problems
Mental illnesses like depression, or medical conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, and thyroid disorders, affect a woman’s intercourse drive both mentally and physically.
5. Medications
Certain antidepressants, blood pressure lowering drugs, and oral contraceptives can reduce intercourse drive in several ways, like lowering available male hormone levels or affecting the circulation of blood.
6. Age
Blood levels of androgens fall persistently in women as they grow older.
