The pharmaceutical industry has been trying to produce
a medication that can boost female libido for years now. However, it seems that
none of the final products give the needed results. You probably know that
there are a lot of male libido medications like Viagra for example that can
help but there is a significant difference between the problems of female and
male libido and that’s why we need different approach.
It is good to know that there are some highly effective
therapies that can help women suffering from this problem. These therapies and
treatments can increase the female libido. The starting point is figuring out
what is causing the problem in the first place. One thing is for sure, when you
live a healthy life and you are in a satisfying emotional relationship your sex drives is most likely good unlike when you are tired, sick or emotionally
fragile.
These are some of the things that have negative effects
on female libido – hormonal changes during menopause, hormonal changes during
pregnancy and after pregnancy, chronically stress, all types of problems
(problems at work, at home, in the relationship), depression, using some
medication that affects the libido in a negative way (antidepressants, blood
pressure medication etc.), problems associated with mental health etc.
All these things can appear separately or in most cases
in a group.
So the main question is how to revive the libido. The
first thing that you can do is talk to your doctor about the specific sexual problems that you have. He might change your medications; guide you to some
exercising process or something similar that can help you. You can also consult
your gynecologist or sexual therapist which usually has more experience with
sexual problems. Keep in mind that all these conversations are private and
confident and in most cases they can solve your problem.
Your doctor can prescribe you new medications and some
of them are known for the positive impact on female libido. These medications
include:
Medications for erectile dysfunction in women who have
trouble achieving orgasm/ These medications increase the blood flow to the
genital area but they can only help with the level of sensitivity, they cannot
directly affect the orgasm.
Estrogen skin creams are very helpful for women that
are suffering from dryness in their vaginas. This dryness often makes the
sexual intercourse painful resulting in lower sexual desire. This is a direct
result of lower levels of estrogen in the body.
Certain antidepressants can also be useful especially
for women who have not yet entered the menopause or as a substitution for known
antidepressants that affect female libido.
Testosterone and other so-called androgens are not only
useful for men they can work for women too. Some doctors advise using
testosterone for women that have low sexual desire. However there are some side
effects so you must be careful.
Besides the medication there are numerous things that
can improve female libido like relaxation, healthy diet, walking, socialization
etc.
