Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder

Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) is a medical condition characterised by a low libido or low sexual interest. This condition can lead to mental distress and negatively impact relationships. HSDD can be triggered by various factors, such as hormonal changes, stress, or psychological issues, and may persist over the long term.
Individuals experiencing symptoms of HSDD should consult a medical professional or therapist to explore treatment options. At Dr. Kamaraj Hospital, we specialise in treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder, providing a wide range of therapeutic approaches to restore sexual health and improve quality of life.

Symptoms of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder

Some common symptoms of hypoactive sexual desire disorder include:
  • Low libido or sexual desire
  • Lack of sexual thoughts or fantasies
  • Reduced or no sexual arousal
  • Limited or no response to sexual stimulation
  • Premature or no orgasm during sexual activity
  • Discomfort or anxiety at the thought of engaging in sexual activity

Causes of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder

HSDD can be caused by various physical and psychological factors, including:

Chemical Imbalances

Chemical imbalances in the brain, particularly in neurotransmitters, can impact sexual desire.

Medical Conditions

Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis (MS), and thyroid disorders, can also lead to reduced sexual interest.

Medication Side Effects:

Medications such as antidepressants, birth control pills, and blood pressure medications may have side effects that affect libido.

Sleep Problems

Conditions like insomnia or sleep apnea can lead to fatigue and hormonal imbalances, both of which can cause HSDD.

Mental Health Conditions

Conditions such as depression, anxiety, and stress can drastically reduce libido.

Relationship Issues

Sometimes, relationship issues like unresolved conflicts or a lack of emotional intimacy can develop HSDD.

Low Self-esteem

Low self-esteem and body image issues can make individuals feel unattractive, potentially reducing their sexual desire.

Diagnosis and Treatment Options for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder

To diagnose HSDD, a healthcare professional will evaluate your medical history, including any existing conditions and medications. They will assess the symptoms and may ask questions about your relationship and sexual life, as emotional and psychological factors can contribute to HSDD.
Based on their evaluation, the healthcare professional may also recommend a physical examination to identify potential medical conditions, such as thyroid problems or diabetes, that can lead to reduced sexual desire.
