Low libido in women refers to a persistent lack of sexual 
interest or desire, causing distress or difficulty in intimate 
relationships. It’s characterized by reduced sexual 
thoughts, responsiveness, and enjoyment.
Causes for Low Libido include hormonal changes, physical 
health conditions, psychological factors, medication side 
effects, and relationship issues. Seeking medical 
evaluation and support is important for identifying and 
addressing underlying causes.

Low libido in women can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
 Hormonal imbalances: Fluctuations or imbalances in 
hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone 
can affect libido.
 Psychological factors: Stress, anxiety, depression, body 
image issues, past trauma, or relationship problems can all 
contribute to low libido.
 Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions such as 
diabetes, thyroid disorders, chronic pain, endometriosis, and 
hormonal disorders can impact sexual desire.
 Medications: Some medications, including antidepressants, 
antihypertensives, hormonal contraceptives, and certain 
medications for chronic illnesses, can have side effects that 
decrease libido.
 Lifestyle factors: Poor sleep, excessive alcohol consumption, 
drug use, smoking, and lack of exercise can negatively affect 
libido.

•Aging: Changes in hormone levels, vaginal dryness, and other 
physical changes associated with aging can contribute to decreased 
libido.
•Relationship issues: Conflict, communication problems, lack of 
emotional intimacy, or unresolved issues within a relationship can 
affect sexual desire.
 
•Fatigue or stress: Busy schedules, work-relate d stress, or fatigue 
from caregiving responsibilities can diminish libido.
•Sociocultural factors: Societal norms, cultural beliefs, or 
religious upbringing may influence attitudes towards sex and 
impact libido.

 A physical examination may be conducted to check for any physical health conditions, 
and blood tests may be ordered to assess hormone levels and other potential factors.
 
 Psychological factors such as stress, depression, or relationship issues are also 
evaluated through a psychological assessment. 
 Medications are reviewed for possible side effects impacting sexual desire, and the 
partner’s input may be considered. 
 Diagnosis is based on established criteria, and if necessary, the individual may be 
referred to specialists for further evaluation and treatment. 
 Overall, the diagnostic process aims to identify underlying causes and develop an 
appropriate treatment plan tailored to the individual’s needs.
