Whole-Person Care
Understanding low libido in women.
Low libido is a decreased interest in sex. It is a common experience and can be influenced by hormonal changes, stress, relationships, medications, medical conditions, and more.
When reduced desire causes personal distress, a provider may evaluate whether it meets the criteria for hypoactive sexual desire disorder, or HSDD. The diagnosis depends on your experience and cannot be reduced to a single number or test.
We look beyond symptoms to understand the full picture and create care that reflects your health, priorities, and goals.
Common Contributing Factors
Desire can be influenced by many parts of life.
Stress & Mental Load
Chronic stress, anxiety, and the demands of daily life can lower sexual interest.
Relationship Dynamics
Emotional connection, communication, and unresolved conflict can affect desire.
Medication Effects
Some medications, including antidepressants and hormonal birth control, may reduce libido.
Medical Conditions
Thyroid disorders, diabetes, chronic pain, and other conditions can play a role.
Vaginal Discomfort or Dryness
Pain, dryness, or discomfort during sex can make intimacy less appealing.
