Hello, Welcome to HCM,
Sex drive in women is a subjective one and there is no objective way to measure sexual desire or pleasure and every woman has to define for herself whether her libido is adequate for her or not.
The factors that contribute to each woman’s sexuality are complex and unique and some of the possible reasons may be Poor diet, lack of exercise,sleep loss, excessive alcohol, stress, depression, low thyroid function and sexual performance anxiety.
The cause for the loss of libido should be evaluated before initiating any measures to boost up the libido. The hormone testosterone can be used to treat low libido in women. Viagra drug might be used as a libido booster. Thank you.
