These are often related to conservatism in Asian society. In the case of Singaporean women, however, it may be fair to deduce that they are more sexually empowered to treat lowered libido proactively.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maturitas.org\/article\/S0378-5122(21)00122-5\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recent study<\/a> [3] indicated that over half of middle-aged women in Singapore are sexually active; however, many are challenged with <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/17233791\/#:~:text=The%20four%20major%20categories%20of,%2C%20orgasm%2C%20and%20sexual%20pain.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sexual dysfunction<\/a> [4], such as loss of libido.

In this article, we take a deep dive into the issue of low libido and how you may overcome it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The science of libido<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Libido differs from one individual to another, with many factors contributing to the phenomenon. Women exhibit different levels of libido at different ages, some attributed to natural biological changes and others due to factors unrelated to bodily changes. Symptoms of low libido may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sudden disinterest in sexual activity&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lack of sexual thoughts or fantasies&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty feeling aroused&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inability to orgasm&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Biologically, changes in libido are often due to changes in hormones, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/book\/9978\/chapter\/157345062\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gonadal hormone<\/a> [6], which plays a primary role in maintaining libido. Additionally, the hormones <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25475395\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">androgen<\/a> [7], <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/277177\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">oestrogen<\/a> [8], and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/womens-health\/testosterone-therapy-for-women-can-it-improve-your-sex-life#:~:text=But%20testosterone%20is%20also%20a,%2C%20depression%2C%20or%20vaginal%20dryness.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">testosterone <\/a>[9] also play an important role in sexual function. Regulated hormone is important as it fuels a woman's psychosexual stimulation and increases sensitivity and blood flow (important in pleasure sensory).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At different ages, the levels of these hormones may fluctuate, providing some rationale for varying levels of libido in women. Below are general characteristics of libido levels at different stages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Age group<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Characteristics&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>20-30<\/td><td>High biological drive to reproduce but modest levels of sexual drive\u00a0Women tend to be more selective about when and whom to reproduce with within these age groups (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S2352250X14000359\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">high sexual selection cognition<\/a>) [10]<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>31-44<\/td><td>Decline of fertility begins&nbsp;Women\u2019s sexual desire tends to become heightened&nbsp;Women tend to have more sex in these age groups&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>45 and above<\/td><td>A decrease in sexual drive is observed as oestrogen levels begin to drop&nbsp;Progressive decrease in libido as women undergo perimenopausal symptoms&nbsp;Libido in these age groups is mostly mind-induced versus biologically driven&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biopsychosocial elements of low libido: What causes low libido among women?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While libido patterns can be explained by age group and biological change, many can testify that these do not hold true. This is because libido is not just a biological occurrence but a culmination of biopsychosocial aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is natural and expected that most women have fluctuating changes in their sexual desires throughout their lifetime. Apart from naturally occurring biological changes in your body, some factors that may affect your libido include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biological factors:\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pregnancy:<\/strong> lower libido among postpartum mothers is a rising concern.

These are usually conscious choices by individuals. Sexual conservatism is also prevalent in more religious communities and societies. Often a choice, sexually conservative women are not phased by lowered libido.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there treatment for women with low libido?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the exact cause of your low libido, the approach to remedy your sexual drive varies. Low libido in women is usually a complex case. Your healthcare provider may offer multifaceted treatment and management upon understanding your condition. Below are some approaches you may take to solve libido issues:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Medical intervention for low libido: How is low libido diagnosed?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Women must <a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/dbclinic.com.sg\/general-health\/\">conduct routine screening<\/a> and gynaecological health check-ups to truly understand if there are biological changes in their bodies. For instance, regular screening may reveal <a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/dbclinic.com.sg\/thyroid-disorders\/\">thyroid disorders<\/a> as a source of hormone dysregulation and lowered libido. Similarly, you may also obtain insight into other underlying health conditions or medications masking as a lowered libido issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sexual dysfunction issues can also be addressed at your nearest sexual health clinic under the surveillance of a registered medical professional. Issues may include fear of penetration, painful sex, and inability to orgasm. With a health professional such as a gynaecologist, you can reduce trial-and-error roulette and get to the crux of the issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where biological issues are present, your partner may also be able to empathise if they are provided with rational justification of what is behind your lowered sexual interest. This will also avoid straining romantic relationships.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Addressing mental barriers pertaining to lowered libido: Can therapy help libido?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Psychological factors can be just as detrimental to your libido and need not be a life sentence.\u00a0 Therapies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/treatments\/21208-cognitive-behavioral-therapy-cbt#:~:text=Cognitive%20behavioral%20therapy%20(CBT)%20is,coping%20with%20grief%20or%20stress.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cognitive Behavioural Therapy<\/a> (CBT) [17] and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/mindfulness-based-cognitive-therapy-1067396\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mindfulness-based therapy<\/a> (MBT) [18] have been proven <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/37260167\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scientifically efficient<\/a> [19] in addressing low libido. If you have not been diagnosed with mental health conditions, one can also perceive this as an opportunity to seek psychological intervention.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is essential for mothers with postpartum depression to seek psychological help. Whilst lower libido may strain your relationship, there are also risks to your child's development. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3039003\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Interventions<\/a> [20] may include pharmacological, psychotherapeutic, and nonpharmacologic options.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If infidelity issues have occurred, you and your partner may attempt couple counselling or marital counselling for assistance in repairing the relationship. A <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/20438197\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study<\/a> [21] has shown that whilst couples with infidelity are significantly distressed and depressed initially, couple therapy intervention induced improvement for up to 6 months posttherapy with optimistic results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/dbclinic.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/low-libido-women5-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Couple therapy\" class=\"wp-image-13765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/dbclinic.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/low-libido-women5-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/dbclinic.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/low-libido-women5-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/dbclinic.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/low-libido-women5-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/dbclinic.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/low-libido-women5.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Couple therapy can be a powerful tool in addressing low libido issues.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Holistically improving your libido: Can food and lifestyle increase sex drive?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some lifestyle changes you may attempt to address low libido at home. We suggest implementing these changes only if no significant medical or psychological issues impact your libido. Lifestyle changes includes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Aphrodisiac diets:<\/strong> increase the consumption of food that increases female libido.

Loss of libido may mean an increase in the possibility of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/hypoactive-sexual-desire-disorder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder<\/a> [27] (HSDD) diagnosis. The key difference between low libido and HSDD is that the latter causes significant distress and lowered quality of life. Additionally, HSSD patients may even feel distressed at the thought of sex and can be averse to even self-pleasing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If suspected of HSDD, you will be referred to a gynaecologist and sexual health clinic. Further investigations will be conducted to identify the classification of libido loss, which includes genito-pelvic pain\/penetration disorder (GPP\/PD), sexual interest or arousal disorder, or a female orgasmic disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are struggling with a loss of libido, visit your nearest sexual health clinic for appropriate medical intervention. Attempting to self-medicate may worsen your condition or delay detection of serious health conditions. Remember, working to address your libido is healthy and should not be associated with guilt or shame.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope this article has empowered you to make the best choices for your sexual health. Our vision is that issues pertaining to lowered libido or libido loss garner greater momentum in Singapore and other Asian nations.
