No Libido And No Pleasure During Sex. Always Need Vibrator To Have An Orgasm. Medication To Help?
Thanks for posting your query.
It is true that loss of libido is very commonly found in women and mostly the cause is psychological in nature.
It can be due to stress and anxiety or relationship problems with your partner. Talk to your partner for the psychological support.
If you are having any stress, then this psychological support will help. A healthy affectionate communication with the partner helps in decreasing anxiety and stress.
However if there is no stress and anxiety then the physical causes need to be ruled out.
These include anemia, diabetes and hormonal imbalance. Some investigations which need to be done are follicle stimulating hormone levels, estradiol, thyroxine and thyrotrophin levels in the blood test reports.
Regarding the treatment of lack of libido, follow these treatment options:
1) Eat a healthy, nutritious diet and indulge in yoga and meditation.
2) Pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises) can improve your awareness of the muscles involved in pleasurable sexual sensations and increase your libido.
3) Estrogen therapy as pill, patch or gel, vaginal cream or a slow-releasing suppository or ring that you place in your vagina can increase blood flow to the vagina and help improve desire. But they are available under prescription of a gynecologist.
4) Other than that suction vibrators which has been used widely in US are very effective in improving libido.
5) Lastly testosterone therapy can be tried but it has side effects like hairiness, spots, a XXXXXXX voice and enlargement of the clitoris.
