Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) refers to a woman’s chronic or ongoing lack of interest in sex, to the point that it causes personal distress or affects her relationships.
Causes – HSDDHSDD is a complex condition with multiple possible causes. In many cases, more than one physical, emotional, or psychological factor may contribute to reduced sexual desire.
Diagnosing HSDDThe main sign of HSDD is reduced sexual interest. However, because sexual desire varies from woman to woman, there is no specific test or set level that confirms the diagnosis.
Treating HSDDTreatment options include lifestyle changes, counseling, hormone management, and medical therapy. Since causes can be mixed, a combination of treatments often works best.
