Consist of
a group of disorders. Specifically, Female Sexual Dysfunction
(FSD) is divided into categories related to desire, orgasm, arousal
and pain. All of the disorders have a common component, namely,
that the problem causes a woman personal distress.
HYPOACTIVE SEXUAL
DESIRE DISORDER - (Sexual Anhedonia) The ongoing
lack of sexual fantasies or thoughts. A woman suffering with hypoactive
sexual desire disorder does not have a desire for sex and is not
interested in the sexual advances of her partner. This may also
be called loss of libido.
SEXUAL
AVERSION DISORDER - An ongoing severe fear or phobia
of any sexual activity with a partner.
SEXUAL AROUSAL DISORDER
- An ongoing problem staying sexually excited. The woman would
like to have sex, but when she has sex, it is not pleasurable.
May be due to decreased sensitivity in the genitals or lack of
vaginal lubrication or wetness. Sexual Arousal Disorder may be
caused by decreased blood flow to the vagina or clitoris.
ORGASMIC DISORDER
- An ongoing problem related to having an orgasm. It may be difficult
to have an orgasm or, if an orgasm is experienced, it may take
a long time. Some women may not be able to reach orgasm at all.
This problem occurs even though sexually stimulated and aroused.
Differential
Diagnosis
Some disorders have similar symptoms. The clinician, therefore,
in his diagnostic attempt has to differentiate against the following
disorders which need to be ruled out to establish a precise diagnosis.
Depression
Stress
Sexual,
emotion or physical abuse
Drug
or alcohol abuse.
Problems with self-esteem or body image.
Problems
in your relationship with your partner.
Dyspareunia.
Vaginismus.
Cause:
Some women
may think that Female Sexual Dysfunction is a normal consequence
of childbirth, aging or menopause. This is not the case and the
primary cause of is physical in nature and is not psychological.
However, due to the very personal nature of Female Sexual Dysfunction,
psychological factors may become involved as well.
Treatment:
Eros Therapy is a small
medical device that naturally restores your ability to enjoy sex.
This firm of therapy is available with a physician's prescription
and should not be confused with drugs or vibrators. The Eros Therapy
improves sexual satisfaction by increasing blood flow to the clitoris
and genital areas. A soft Cup is placed over the clitoris and
a gentle vacuum is created increasing blood flow. Results are
in increased clitoral sensitivity, improved vaginal lubrication,
enhanced ability to achieve orgasm and greater overall sexual
satisfaction.
Vaginal lubrication
products may also be used to increase lubrication due to vaginal
dryness.
