Libido, or sex drive, is very important in a woman's life and in relationships and female libido loss should be addressed with the seriousness it deserves. People in polite society do not talk about things such as loss of libido, even to their doctors, and they try to solve the problem along or with their partners. This should not be the case because loss of libido in both women and men brings a lot of problems. Sex is important to everybody and if a man or a woman is not getting any, he/she will not be happy at home, at work, etc. Many men blame themselves when they cannot satisfy their partners or when then cannot make their partners get into the mood for sex and this creates a strain in a relationship. Other men seek other women to fulfill their bodies' desires, opening doors for STDs. Some women agree to have sex with their partners to make them happy despite their female libido loss and this can lead to excruciating pain and bruising of the woman's vagina. Treatment should be sought as soon as there is libido loss.

To be able to seek the right treatment, it is important to know causes for loss of libido women can do something about and what they can do nothing about. This is because different causes require different treatment and knowing some of the causes can point to a solution that is non-invasive and very simple. Physical causes for loss of libido women cannot do anything about include menstruation, pregnancy due to hormonal changes, lactation, during menopause, diseases such as diabetes, medication such as tranquillizers, etc. Some physical causes of low libido that women can do something about include smoking, excessive consumption of drugs and alcohol, bad eating habits, lack of exercise, etc.

With psychological causes of loss of female libido, counseling usually helps. These include anxiety, lack of confidence with your body, stress and depression, psychological trauma suffered in the past such as rape, hang-up due to bad experiences in the past, lack of trust in a relationship and other relationship problems, etc. Counseling should ideally be together with the partner for it to be effective.
