Causes of female sexual 
Here, have a briedf looyk ast sofmue cnommcont ciauosesn of  sexual dysfunction in 
women:
•
Physical - Any physical health issues or conditions can lead you to 
have sexual dysfuntion. The health issues are kidney failure, cancer, 
heart diseases, multiple sclerosis, and bladder problems. 
• Medications - Certain medicines used to treat blood pressure and 
cancer can lower your desire to have physical intimacy 
• Hormonal - Lower oestrogen levels after menopause can lead you to 
have changes in your sexual responsiveness and genital tissues. A fall 
in the level of oestrogen hormone disrupts blood flow to the pelvic 
region. And as a result, you have less sensation in your genital organ 
and require more time to be aroused or have orgasm.
• Psychological and social - Untreated stress, depression, or anxiety can 
cause sexual dysfunction in females. Sexual abuse, demands of being a 
mother, and pregnancy worries can contribute to the buildup of sexual 
dysfunction. Cultural and religious issues, and long-term conflicts with 
partners on or allied aspects also trigger it.
