Lack or decline in libido is common among women in mid-life. Even worse, there are reports of cycling women who have lost their drive for sex.
Healthy libido is important to the emotional and psychological fitness of a woman and her relationships. A decline in libido is not a medical problem and therefore should be remedied only except if a medical problem causes the lowering in the sex drive, so it is wise to determine the cause of a low or lack of libido.
What are the causes of decline or lack of libido?
There are numerous reasons a woman may experience low libido. Some of these reasons are enumerated as follow:
Varying levels of hormones – Libido-controlling hormones can a change because of pregnancy, childbirth and age especially for menopausal women. Sickness can also cause hormonal imbalance.
Stress – when a woman is stressed, she will certainly experience decline in libido, because she needs herself to be in the mood. Lifestyle can cause hormonal issues and bring on excess stress or depression. You also may just be too tired to think about sex. Make sure you get about 8 hours of sleep each night, eat a balanced diet, drink adequate water (aim for 7 to 8 cups each day) and exercise regularly.
Emotional issues – women easily get emotional; so in a house whereby she is abused physically and verbally trust me she easily loss libido.
Weight Change – Obesity or excessive weight gain can also lead to decline in libido.
Alcoholism and drug abuse – quite common, and are very deadly too.
Medications can also drop libido – the birth control pill can alter your sex drive as well so it is with some other medication. In that case it may just be temporary but you can talk to your doctor or discontinue the use or find an alternative.
If your libido lowers for several days and then returns to normal, it is probably just a temporary change in hormones or stress. If you have been suffering from a low libido for several weeks or longer, you will have to make some changes to restore your libido.
How to restore your libido.
Restore your hormonal balance – Get blood work done to determine testosterone levels. If testosterone (a hormone that triggers sexual desire) levels are too low, you may feel lack of sexual desire. In that case see a doctor to prescribe the appropriate amount to get your libido on track. Testosterone treatment is administered by an injection of testosterone or a patch of hormones worn and absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream you may also consider using progesterone cream. When the sex hormone progesterone (the counter-hormone of estrogen) levels are too low, a decrease in libido can result. Progesterone cream can be applied topically on the genitals to increase libido. But caution is needful; testosterone treatment has many side effects. It can cause unwanted hair growth, weight gain and skin problems, such as acne.
Include whole food nutrition/supplementation to be sure you have the nutrient necessary for proper hormonal function. Eat a balanced diet of whole fresh foods.
Live a healthy lifestyle – An unhealthy lifestyle can cause hormonal issues and bring on excess stress or depression. So evaluate your lifestyle and make amend where necessary.
Discuss medication effects with you doctor – some medications, especially birth-control pills, interfere with normal hormones. If the side effect of the medication is a lowered sex drive, you may need to discontinue or get an alternative.
Proper rest and relaxation – Decrease stress level by identifying your stressors and you can’t regulate or change the stressor find a healthy outlet or change the way you react to it.
