Do you lack sexual desire? 4 Possible Reasons behind Your Deception

                                                    Lack of sexual desire can have medical causes

Let's be clear: the oven is not always ready for the cookies. As much as you want your partner, there are days when the furthest from your head and your desires is a love encounter. And it is pertinent to say no and leave it for another day. But when "no" ceases to be the exception and becomes the rule, you have to look for the cause of your lack of sexual desire to protect your health and your relationship. If you've lately said that not too many times, you might find the reason here.

You feel sorry, or you are downright exhausted. A loving couple understands these causes perfectly. And there are very legitimate reasons to say no to the love encounter. But if the denial comes from a persistent lack of sexual desire and a complete absence of sexual fantasies, then specialists have a name for the condition: hypoactive sexual desire, the most common form of the lack of sexual satisfaction in women.

This disorder does not come by itself, nor does it go by itself either. It is critical to get medical care, first to determine what is causing it and second, to resolve it.

Lack of sexual desire is often due to psychological causes and conflicts within the couple relationship that have been accumulating unresolved: frustration, anger, resentment, lack of communication and satisfying emotional intimacy. In that case, the first treatment option for the woman and her partner (who is part of the problem and therefore, the solution) is couple counseling and emotional therapy.

But a lack of constant sexual desire can also have physical or lifestyle-related causes. For example, a mother with several  Children , exhausted by overwork outside and inside the house and unable to relax, never finds the energy to think, realize and enjoy sex.

Other times, the cause of the lack of sexual desire is related to a medical condition. Let's look at some of the very common:

1. Menopause:

The arrival of the menopause either by natural causes or surgery (when the ovaries are removed, for example) is characterized by the gradual or sudden decline (for surgery) of the hormones estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone. Lower levels of testosterone, in particular, can lead to a decrease in libido (sexual energy) either gradual or sudden. Conventional treatment of hormone replacement based estrogen and progesterone to relieve menopausal symptoms may also worsen the situation because estrogen increases a protein in the blood which adheres to testosterone and further reduces its levels in the body, leading To a notable lack of sexual desire.

2. Depression

One of the too much common symptoms of depression is the decrease or lack of sexual desire. Lack of interest and energy for sex, in turn, further increases depression. Treatment for depression may even contribute to the problem since many antidepressants like Prozac (fluoxetine), Paxil (paroxetine) and Zoloft (sertraline) have among their side effects loss of libido.

3. Dysthymia

This is a condition very similar to depression but with much milder symptoms that are not easy to diagnose because the person can work with it. But a woman with dysthymia may feel alone, isolated and overwhelmed. These feelings, when experienced on a constant level, can lead them to isolate themselves from the social activities they enjoyed before and avoid intimate encounters with their partners.

4. Some medications

Some prescription drugs for high blood pressure (hypertension), some antidepressants and even the contraceptive pill can interfere with sexual desire, stimulation, and orgasm because they alter the balance of sex hormones and neurotransmitters. For example, antidepressants are known as inhibitors of serotonin reuptake fight depression by increasing serotonin production, but it has the side effect in some people, decreased sexual desire.

If you find yourself in a similar case and suspect that your lack of sexual desire could be due to a clinical problem, it is critical that you consult with your doctor to determine exactly what is happening. If your ovaries have been removed, it is important that you measure your testosterone levels (if they are below 20 nano grams per deciliter affect your sex life), or you may need to reassess the levels and effects of your replacement therapy Hormonal if you're going through menopause. The doctor may also be able to help you with either an antidepressant or change your antidepressant for another that does not reduce your libido.

The most important thing is that you visit a health professional and you do not feel like waiting for things to work out on their own. That never happens and only gets worse. Perhaps a simple change of medication or attending several sessions of couple therapy could give a radical change to your life and your loving relationship.
