  • A woman's low libido can be a source of frustration for both herself and her partner. By understanding the possible causes of low libido, a woman can better work with her doctor to improve her sexual functioning.

    Hormonal Imbalances

    Hormonal changes such as those experienced in pregnancy, childbirth, after a hysterectomy and during menopause can cause a reduction in a woman's libido.

    Physical Pain

    Pain, such as pain in the reproductive organs, during sex can eventually lessen a woman's sexual desire.

    Medications

    Certain medications, particularly antidepressants, chemotherapy drugs and blood pressure medications can lessen sexual desire in women.

    Drugs and Alcohol

    While street drugs and alcohol are famous for "lowering inhibitions" they can, over time, decrease sexual responsiveness.

    Depression, Stress and Anxiety

    Depression, stress and anxiety can all have devastating effects on libido: If you are feeling overwhelmed by life, your body is going to use its resources to maintain its most basic needs, and support for sexual desire will go by the wayside.

    Other Diseases

    Diabetes, cancer, arthritis and other medical conditions can contribute to low libido.
