Female Sexual Health

Post a new topicby Allvitalherbals on Sun Oct 04, 2009 11:05 pm

A comprehensive guide to all female sexual problems, their causes and cures.

A recent study conducted in United States on female sexual problems stated that the most commonly occurring problem in women, between the ages of 18 to 59, is the hypoactive sexual desire disorder. This sexual disorder is commonly known as a low sec drive or libido. Around 33% of women experience this problem. The second most common sexual problem in women is difficulty with orgasms. Pain during intercourse is another problem that a lot of women go through, but it slowly diminishes as women get older.

All women have a significant level of interest in sexual activities. A survey conducted on female libido concluded that most of the women think about sex only 2 to 3 times a week. It has also been noted that happier women think more about sex as compared to women who are generally unhappy. According to a survey conducted in the US, when it comes to female orgasmic disorders, more than half of the women population complains that they do not feel sexually satisfied due to the absence of orgasm in their sex lives.

There are various kinds of sexual functioning problems that women face. If a woman feels uncomfortable regarding any aspect of her sexual life, then it is considered a problem that required help. There is no one particular reason pinpointed by the doctors for a low sexual enhancement in women. It can be caused due to a hectic daily routine life or the multiple roles a woman has to play to maintain a good family life could sometimes be the cause. Some medical conditions and medications that are used to treat them can also cause a low sexual desire in women. What so ever the reason is, it is very important that you consider consulting a doctor for it.

Some birth control pills, antidepressant or tranquilizers have also been reported to decrease a woman’s sexual desire. If you notice any such changes when you start taking any kind of medication, consult a doctor if it has anything to do with the medication he has prescribed. You can also opt for some herbal treatments to keep your sexual health at a high.
