What Causes Female Sexual Dysfunction?

Physical Causes of Dysfunction

What exactly causes Female sexual dysfunction to develop? Primarily put into two categories. Psychological and physical. Let’s take a look at the physical causes of female sexual dysfunction.

Multiple reasons such as low intimate drive, issues getting aroused or reaching a climax and painful intimacy are all symptoms of female sexual dysfunction. These symptoms can be distressing, uncomfortable, and embarrassing and affect your intimate life.

Medical Conditions

Medications often have unintended side effects. Unfortunately, sexual dysfunction can be high on the list. Some common medications that cause (FSD) are chemotherapy drugs, anti-depressants, blood pressure drugs, and antihistamines. This is likely due to alterations to brain chemicals and blood flow changes.

Hormones

A small change in hormones can have major effects on your sexual health. Common times when this occurs are after birth, during pregnancy, using birth control, and menopause.

Lack of estrogen causes less blood flow to be sent to the pelvic area. This often leads to sexual dysfunction. Changes in hormones, and over time without sexual function, change the vaginal wall and make it thinner and less elastic. This can lead to painful intercourse and a lower sexual drive.
