Sexual dysfunctions in women are quite common. The topic is very delicate, so not everyone hesitates to see a doctor. Some women are not aware of the problem and consider their intimate life to be normal, attributing some moments to the peculiarities of physiology.
Decreased sex drive
Sexual dysfunctions in women can be associated with impaired sex drive, sexual arousal, and the ability to experience orgasm. There are several types of violations, but they should not be confused with sexual deviations, which do not correspond to socially accepted norms of behavior.
Disorders reduce the quality of life and bring women a lot of trouble, and sometimes lead to divorce. One of the most common is a decrease in sex drive. This pathology is not congenital and is not always associated with frigidity. A woman may experience satisfaction from intimate life, but her need for sexual intercourse decreases. Sometimes this disorder is temporary and goes away without any intervention. If the period of decrease in libido has been prolonged or this has become the cause of discord in relations with a partner, you need to try to find the problem and solve it.
Decreased libido can be caused by:
- psychological problems;
- fatigue, stress;
- hormonal changes, menopause, pregnancy;
- deterioration in physical health.
Quite often, the disorder appears in girls who were raised very strictly. In some families, they try to adhere to certain religious rules and, from childhood, they inculcate thoughts about the sinfulness of enjoying sex life. Violation can arise against the background of disagreements with a sexual partner and internal attitudes that prevent the enjoyment of intimacy. Experts advise to understand the situation and solve all psychological, communication problems in order to establish a sex life.
Frigidity is considered by some sex therapists to be a type of disorder associated with decreased libido. But in this case, the woman completely loses interest in the intimate side of life, there is no reaction to stimuli in the erogenous zones, she is not able to experience an orgasm. Frigidity is congenital and acquired. Congenital pathology is a rare phenomenon. More often it occurs against the background of psychological trauma or improper upbringing.
Another type of disorder is anorgasmia. With its manifestations, a woman may be sexually attracted to men, she is interested in the intimate side of life, but at the same time is not able to experience an orgasm. Pathology can be caused by psychological pressure, internal fears.
Vaginismus or Algic Syndrome
Vaginismus is a separate type of sexual disorder. In this case, a spasm of the vaginal muscles occurs when an attempt is made to insert the penis into it. Sometimes the spasm also occurs with ordinary touch or even the appearance of thoughts of intimacy. In some cases, vaginismus makes it impossible to have intercourse.
There are also varieties of the disorder. Some sexologists call this type of pathology an algic syndrome. The disorder can be expressed not only in the contraction of the vaginal muscles, but also in the appearance of unpleasant sensations, burning sensations, pain during intercourse. In all these cases, it is necessary to consult a gynecologist to exclude physiological reasons. After that, you can make an appointment with a sexologist or psychotherapist. Internal clamps, fears can cause the appearance of such an unusual pathology.
Nymphomania
Nymphomania is a disorder that is much less common than decreased sex drive and is its opposite. It is expressed in an increased interest in the sexual side of life, depending on intimacy. Most often, these women tend to come into contact with different partners. This interferes with the building of normal relations, leads to a loss of reputation. Nymphomania is condemned by society, so often such women are embarrassed to seek help.
There are several reasons for the development of nymphomania. Most often, the disorder occurs against the background of improper upbringing of the girl in the family or hormonal disruption. The false form of the disorder appears due to low self-esteem. By coming into contact with a large number of partners, a woman is trying to prove to society and to herself that she is attractive and desirable. Nymphomania, accompanied by obsessive compulsions, can be caused by disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system. In some women, this pathology is combined with anorgasmia. They experience an increased sexual desire, until they can not get complete satisfaction from intimacy. This pushes them to look for new partners.
Pathology caused by psychogenic factors is well corrected, but for this a woman must realize her problem. If left untreated, the disorder progresses with age. Nymphomania not only increases the risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections, but also becomes an obstacle to creating a family, a cause of disruption of social ties.
