This is higher than the amount of men suffering from erectile dysfunction

It is estimated that around 40% of women suffer from some form of female sexual dysfunction. This is higher than the amount of men suffering from erectile dysfunction and highlights the fact that more medical research needs to be done in this area.

Female sexual dysfunction can be extremely distressing for women and also unpleasant for their sexual partners too. Men say that it is not much fun having sex with a woman who does not enjoy it and it can therefore undermine their relationship. 

Female sexual dysfunction is defined as having a difficulty in becoming sexually aroused and reaching orgasm. The most common reasons why women suffer from female sexual dysfunction are psychological and include factors such as depression, stress, being over tired as well as insecurities about the way that their bodies look. Sexual abuse has also been known to aggravate female sexual dysfunction.

Women also suffer from this condition when abusing alcohol and drugs, if they are taking certain medications and if they have hormone imbalances. If you are suffering from female sexual dysfunction you should speak to a doctor who is likely to be able to pinpoint the cause of your problem and tell you whether the problem is psychological or physical.  Sometimes just talking about the problem can be beneficial in curing it.

Recently launched the drug Intrinsa has helped thousands of women regain their sex lives. The female sexual dysfunction drug Intrinsa works by boosting the amount of testosterone in a woman. Testosterone is normally associated as being a male hormonal drug but not a lot of people know that women require the drug to function normally in a sexual capacity.

You should not be embarrassed to speak your doctor about sexual issues and in any case it is possible to have an online consultation with a doctor on the Ukmedix web site so that you can talk freely without going red in the face.
