The Ukmedix News team reckon that when it comes to embarrassing medical issues they know what they’re talking about. Ukmedix News researches articles on erectile dysfunction, weight loss, hair loss and female sexual dysfunction all of which are not thought to be the subject of polite conversations that you can have with your granny for example.

It is important to remember that all of these medical conditions are completely normal and you should try and keep them in perspective and remember that an extremely large percentage of people in the United Kingdom also suffer from them and so you shouldn’t worry too much.
The figures for female sexual dysfunction vary wildly and the reason is that it is difficult to statistically evaluate what goes on in the bedroom. Women who suffer from aggravated cases of female sexual dysfunction often have deep psychological problems which they don’t like to discuss and therefore their sexual problems never get recorded.
One sexual health expert Professor Sheryl Kingsberg PhD claims that menopausal women are happier talking about female sexual dysfunction flippantly at a party rather then discussing it seriously with a doctor. It seems that some women try to deal with the problem by pretending to themselves that it really doesn’t worry them too much and they just make a joke of it.
However the reality is that alot of female sexual dysfunction is because of psychological issues concerning emotional security, stress and anxiety, which increase as women get older especially after they have had surgery such as hysterectomies and they have gone through menopause.
According to Professor Kingsberg a woman at the age of 50 has around 50 percent less testosterone in her blood than a woman in her twenties and this “male hormone” is also essential for women to have a good sex drive. Talking about female sexual dysfunction is good for you and you should open up to your doctor about it. Alternatively have a look at the Ukmedix forum and discuss your problem with like minded individuals.
