Common Sexual Disorders in Women

Low desire to have sex, difficulty in getting aroused and trouble achieving an orgasm are the top sexual problems experienced by women today. These are discussed below.

Female Orgasmic Disorders

The disorder is divided in two categories-total female disorder and partial female disorder. In total female orgasmic disorder the woman is unable to experience even a single orgasm during any type of sexual activity. But in partial orgasmic disorder the woman is able to experience orgasm only after extra efforts.

Just because you are not able to achieve orgasm does not mean that you have this disorder. The problem could be pre-mature ejaculation from your partner`s side. It could also be result of taking certain anti-anxiety and anti-depressant drugs.

Kegel exercises and masturbation may help in improving your ability to achieve orgasm. Use of sex toys such as vibrators could be used during intercourse. The male partner must understand that the toy is not a substitute to him but rather something to help him perform better.

Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder

The disorder has key symptoms of lack of desire to have sex. They do not have any sexual fantasies and are least interested in love-making.

It is often result of stress in day to day life. It could also be due to low hormone levels as during menopause. Abusive relationships in the past or knowing a close relative having suffered from sexual abuse could be another major reason.

By making the patient understand that it is important to have a positive approach in life is extremely helpful in extreme cases.

Trying to develop sexual fantasies and masturbation are also helpful. This helps in improving sexual desire.

Female Sexual Arousal Disorder

Even though you are interested in having sex you cannot seem to feel an arousal for the same; then you are suffering from sexual arousal disorder.

This could be due to change in environment, reduced interest in partner, disturbed personal relation with partner or due to some other emotional problems.

Vaginal lubricants and estrogen supplements are helpful.

Natural Remedies

Simple remedies can keep sexual disorders at bay. Consume foods such as honey, almonds, avocados, oysters, clarified butter, strawberries, chocolate and mangoes. These aid in maintaining proper function of the reproductive organs.
