As women age, there are some simple biological reasons why their
libido decreases. The female body was designed to increase sexual desire
just before ovulation. This is caused by an increase in hormones which
lasts for several days after ovulation – which is the one time on a
monthly basis that it’s possible to conceive a baby. When a women stops
ovulating, the increase in hormones that cause the boost to her sex
drive also stops. This is concerning to most women, as they have felt
this increase in hormones ever since they started puberty, and it comes
to a crashing halt.
After women stop ovulating, the body creates less estrogen as it did
before. With lowered estrogen levels, the libido also decreases along
with it. One of the things that estrogen does for a woman’s brain is to
help her elevate her mood. It also helps increase the feeling of
pleasure in the vaginal area, which in general makes a sexual encounter
much more fun and desirable.
With lower estrogen levels, women will not only lose “the mood” to
want to have sex, but they’ll also lose the “feel-good” sensation that
sexual activity brings. When women stop desiring sex, they stop having
sex, which then leads to pain when she actually does have sex, which
then leads to… You guessed it – less sex. What’s the solution? How do
you help to increase the female libido naturally?
First off, eat well and exercise regularly. This will help get the
blood flowing, create endorphins which will help your brain feel better,
and will also lead to good health. If you’re in good health, your body
will look better, which leads to more confidence when you get down to
“business” as well!
Next, talk to your doctor. You want to get checked for any
deficiencies in iron, or your thyroid. These both will lead to common
issues that will cause a low libido. Get blood work done, make sure your
levels are all normal – and don’t forget to have your pap smear and
pelvic exam yearly. If you’re experiencing any pain you want to ensure
that there is no medical issue causing it.
