What can cause it ?
Causes of sexual problems vary from person to person — What is a problem for one person might be okay for another. It’s only a concern if it is causing distress for you. Magazine articles and TV shows can sometimes lead us to believe otherwise, but sexual health is a very individual thing and you must be guided by your own feelings. If you are bothered by an issue related to your sex life, it is important to consider the following types of factors:
Biological causes — Healthy sexuality depends on your body: nerves, hormones and blood flow must all function properly. Problems with any of these can lead to dysfunction. For example, sideeffects from medication may be associated with up to 25 per cent of sexual c
oncerns. Pelvic surgery may have a direct or indirect effect on sexual health. There are also certain conditions which can cause pain during sex (such as dyspareunia and vaginismus). Some medical illnesses can affect sexual function, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and thyroid disorders. The menopause transition often has an impact on your sexuality.
Psychological causes — There are many lifestyle and health issues that may affect a woman’s level of interest in sex. Past sexual trauma, a mood disorder, stress, fatigue and medication can have an impact on your desire. Treatment of depression often contributes to decreased desire, especially if certain kinds of medication are prescribed.
Relationship factors — The level of intimacy, your partner’s sexual interest and function, as well as your partner’s physical and mental health, can have an impact on your sexual interest and function.
Social and cultural causes — Cultural and religious attitudes may affect a woman’s sense of her sexual self and the meaning she attaches to being sexual.
Is it normal not to want to have sex?
When a woman loses sexual desire entirely, it is sometimes diagnosed as hypoactivesexual desire disorder. Generally, low sexual desire, low arousal, and orgasmic difficulties are more likely to happen amongst postmenopausal women. If low desire is causing stress for you or your partner, the next step is to talk to your doctor about what might be causing the problem.
