• Sexual dysfunction is a condition that prevents you from taking part in, enjoying, or wanting sexual activity.
• The condition is quite different from asexuality and can happen at any time and any age, although chances increase as we age.
• Sexual dysfunction is often associated with men, but it is equally likely to occur in women.
• However, before learning more about this condition, it is important to differentiate from a bad night.
• Furthermore, it has four categories:
1. Desire disorder, which causes next to no interest in sexual relations for a lengthy period of time.
2. Arousal disorder, where the body does not respond to mood.
3. Orgasm disorder: the ability to be aroused but not climax, often leading to frustration.
4. Pain disorder, which causes pain during intercourse.
• Let’s look at female sexual dysfunction in detail:

Types
• Women often feel pain disorders due to sexual dysfunction.
• The pain may be caused by external reasons such as tense vaginal muscles or inadequate. Because of this, painful penetration can make the body reject sexual activity.
• Vaginismus, a name for involuntary vaginal muscle spasms, can also make intercourse uncomfortable.
• Hormonal changes caused by menopause, such as a drop in estrogen, can cause the vaginal lining to thin and also decrease lubrication.
• Difficulty in having an orgasm is a result of your sex drive being low.
• This is due to your hormones being imbalanced, which may be caused by increased stress and fatigue.
• A low sex drive may also be a result of pain and discomfort, whether it’s linked to intercourse or not.
Treatment
• Living with sexual dysfunction can lead to anxiety and misunderstandings between partners.
• You need to seek help from a doctor if it continues on a prolonged basis.
• The doctor will initially ask for your medical history and a list of any medications you might be taking.
• This could be followed by a physical examination and diagnostic testing.
• Treatment is different for physical and psychological causes.
• Physical causes such as tight vaginal muscles could be treated with lubricating gels or through surgery if required.
• For psychological causes, counseling to deal with anxiety and stress can be helpful.
• You may also go for joint counseling if the condition is causing problems between you and your partner.
• The treatment may not be immediately effective, but it is important to continue it might take some time before positive signs appear
