Reasons for low libido in women

Libido is a state of excitement that can vary from one moment to another in women. Often very present at the beginning of a relationship, it can happen that this state knows phases of temporary decline. What are the main reasons for a woman's low libido?

How does the libido work?

According to Freud, libido is defined as the energy at the base of sexual impulses. It is a state of arousal that drives a woman to have sex with her partner. Just like men, the libido in women provides an overflowing desire. Hormones have a very important part in the functioning of this desire. In fact, the hormonal peaks observed during the ovulation period increase a woman's libido. In other women, the increase in libido may be a precursor to the onset of menstruation.  The main hormone responsible for this fluctuation is estrogen. Although this state of arousal is the result of hormonal fluctuations, it is important to mention that each woman may have different causes of arousal. Psychological state is a significant factor that can influence libido. 

Why can a woman's libido decrease?

Since libido works on a purely hormonal and psychological mechanism, many factors can contribute to its decline. Primarily, the reduction in sexual desire can have physiological origins. These may include fatigue, sexual disorders or menopause. Also, during sexual intercourse, some pain may occur due to penetration. These are possible signs of dyspareunia and vaginismus. 

Breastfeeding is another factor that can cause a decrease in libido. In addition, certain medications can influence the decrease in sexual desire. On the psychological level, a heavy mental load due to stress can also reduce sexual desire. Problems in the couple are palpable examples of factors that cause a decrease in libido. To regain your libido in a normal way, you must take care of your well-being and make new sexual experiences.
