Here Are 6 Reasons You May Be Unaware Of!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/rsz_shutterstock_189873131.jpg\" alt=\"Reduced sex drive in women can lead to stiff between couples\" width=\"630\" height=\"340\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Loss of libido ( also known as reduced sexual drive) is a common problem affecting both men and women. While statistics show more than 40% of women experience some changes in libido throughout their life, a persistent decrease in sexual interest can be a major concern and must be addressed.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the most common reasons for a reduced sex drive in women:<\/p>\n<h4><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">1 . Increasing age<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As a woman begins to age, the testosterone levels ( the steroid hormone that regulates the sex drive in women) that are at their peak during the early 30s, begin to decline towards menopause. This significantly reduces their sexual drive.<\/p>\n<h4><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">2 .\u00a0Fluctuating Hormones<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Women go through a lot\u00a0of changes in their estrogen and testosterone levels every month. Especially during the crucial period of pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and menopause, the hormones in the female undergo a lot of fluctuations leading to mood swings, reduced sex drive, vaginal dryness and painful coitus.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3 . Sexual dysfunction and associated problems\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Sexual and reproductive problems such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, dyspareunia, vaginal dryness, inability to orgasm showcase a variety of symptoms that make sex painful and unwanted. Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD), an absence\u00a0of sexual fantasies and desire for\u00a0sexual\u00a0activity causing marked distress or interpersonal difficulty, affects 1\/3rd of the women.<\/p>\n<h4><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">4 . Certain medications<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Medications for different health conditions such as antidepressants, oral contraceptives, anti-seizure drugs, medication for heavy menstrual flow, though have been believed to have no significant side-effects, adversely affect the women&#8217;s libido.<\/p>\n<h4><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">5 . Psychological Stress<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Stress, fatigue, anxiety, depression, trauma, shock and low self-esteem, all these factors together would also make the environment non-conducive to sexual activity. For a healthy sexual life, both mind and heart together need to be in sync and therefore has a significant impact on the sexual desires.<\/p>\n<h4><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">6 . Lifestyle Habits<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Lifestyle habits such as smoking, an excess of alcohol, drugs, lack of sleep, sedentary lifestyle and consumption of unhealthy food negatively impact\u00a0the sexual urges. All these together have been found to be the major cause for the increasing incidence of reduced sex drive amongst women.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/rsz_shutterstock_189873131.jpg\" alt=\"1mg\" width=\"630\" height=\"340\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[184,207],"class_list":["post-27459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health-a-z","tag-sex-stimulants-rejuvenators","tag-womens-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Reduced Sex Drive In Women? 6 Unexplored Reasons - Tata 1mg Capsules<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Reduced sex drive in women is a common problem arising due to hectic lifestyle.
