Hi,
Common causes for a loss of sexual desire and drive in women include:
1. Job stress, peer pressure, and media images of sexuality can negatively influence sexual desire.
2. Partner performance problems, lack of emotional satisfaction with the relationship, the birth of a child, and becoming a caregiver for a loved one can decrease sexual desire.
3. Low
Testosterone affects the sexual drive in both men and women.
4. Medical problems: Mental illnesses such as
depression, or medical conditions, such as
endometriosis, fibroids, and
thyroid disorders, impact a woman's sexual drive both mentally and physically.
5.Medications: Certain antidepressants, blood pressure-lowering drugs, and oral contraceptives can lower sexual drive.
6. Age. Blood levels of
androgens fall continuously in women as they age. Don't worry you would be fine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
