Many copies were broken when discussing what frigidity is and whether it is?
Frigidity is the lack of sexual desire in women. It is found in a sufficiently large number of women and can be both temporary and permanent.
Specialists distinguish the following types of frigidity:
- Weak libido. At the same time, women are quite capable of experiencing an orgasm.
- A disorder of sexual desire and arousal, as a rule, is present in women with normal libido, however, she is not able to become aroused or maintain a certain level of sexual arousal during sexual contact.
- Orgasm disorder. A woman is not able to get sexual satisfaction or rarely gets it.
- Unpleasant (or painful) sensations during sexual intercourse.
Due to the presence of one of these types, a woman can be irritable, distance herself from her partner, many have a feeling of guilt and a feeling of inferiority.
If one of the above problems is present and interferes with normal life, it is better to seek help from a specialist.
There are several reasons for female frigidity:
- Various physical disorders: urinary tract problems, headaches, fatigue, etc. All this can lead to imaginary frigidity. In addition, taking various medications (antidepressants, antihistamines, blood pressure lowering drugs) can lead to a woman not being able to get normal sexual satisfaction.
- Hormonal disorders. Thus, a lowered level of the female sex hormone estrogen may well lead to the fact that women become practically not susceptible to sexual stimulation. If a woman has not entered into sexual relations for a long time, the walls of her vagina lose elasticity and sexual intimacy can lead to certain painful sensations.
- Very often, women who have recently given birth suffer from vaginal dryness, resulting in a decrease in libido. However, everything quickly falls into place as soon as women restore their hormones.
- Various psychological and social problems. Depression, increased anxiety, stress in the absence of proper treatment can cause frigidity.
Diagnosis and treatment of frigidity
As a rule, the first doctor who is contacted by a woman who has found a weakening of libido is a gynecologist, who, as a result of a conversation with the patient, makes a detailed history, performs a gynecological examination to identify various physical changes in the pelvic organs.
The choice of treatment for frigidity largely depends on the causes of its occurrence.
Non-drug treatment of frigidity
- Psychological counseling.
- Open communication with a partner. Very often, after a heart-to-heart talk, the sex life of couples becomes more harmonious.
- Healthy lifestyle. Eliminate alcohol and smoking from your diet. Move more, because physical exertion strongly influences the state of health, helps to control a possible stressful state.
- Use lubricants during sexual intercourse that destroy vaginal dryness, which negatively affects sexual contact.
Drug treatment
- Estrogen therapy. Various ointments, which include estrogen, can increase the tone and elasticity of the walls of the vagina, stimulate the production of vaginal lubrication.
- Androgenic therapy for the treatment of sexual dysfunction has quite controversial reviews among specialists. And although it is often quite effective, a number of studies show that the use of androgens with frigidity gives practically zero results.
