What is Low Libido in Women?

Low libido, or reduced sexual desire in women, is a common but often under-discussed issue. It can affect intimacy, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. While occasional fluctuations in desire are normal, persistent low libido may need professional evaluation and treatment.

Symptoms of Low Libido

• Reduced or absent interest in sexual activity
• Lack of sexual thoughts or fantasies
• Difficulty becoming aroused despite stimulation
• Emotional distress or relationship strain due to lack of intimacy

Causes of Low Libido in Women

• Hormonal imbalances (e.g., menopause, thyroid disorders, post-pregnancy changes)
• Chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity, or heart disease
• Psychological factors like stress, depression, anxiety, or past trauma
• Relationship issues such as conflict, lack of communication, or emotional disconnect
• Side effects of certain medications (antidepressants, contraceptives, etc.)
