Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder

1 in 10 women are estimated to have HSDD

It's normal for women to experience libido drop but it's usually temporary and returns.

A chronic low libido that causes distress to a woman and her partner could be HSDD.

"HSDD is defined as the absence of sexual fantasies and thoughts, and/or desire for or receptivity to, sexual activity that causes the personal distress or difficulties in her relationship."

Potential causes can be physical, psychological, or both.

Screening questions are:
1. In the past, was your level of sexual desire/interest good and satisfying to you?
2. Has there been a decrease in your level of sexual desire/interest?
3. Are you bothered by your decreased level of sexual desire/interest?
4. Would you like your level of sexual desire/interest to increase?

Call bull on that. Going to have my wife answer them tonight.

That surprised me as well. I would think the fact that it's causing marital discord would be enough to consider it a problem. This basically says if it doesn't bother them, then they don't have HSDD.

They possibly could have something else? Either way, I'd say something needs to be figured out if one spouse is dissatisfied with the sexual relationship.

Did you look at the prescription for HSDD? Worthless. So it increases the number of satisfying sexual encounters by 50% and it costs $800/month. So if you have satisfying sex twice a month, you'll have satisfying sex three times a month. Oh and then there's the side effects which are more prevalent than the satisfaction.

I hadn't looked at the prescription. I think medication is generally a last resort treatment.

"If she answers ‘yes’ to these, she will also be asked about other factors that may be contributing to her low desire, including physical and mental health conditions, recent childbirth, her relationship with her partner, her level of stress and fatigue, and other issues.
Treatment may include sex therapy or counseling, alone or with a woman’s partner, to address any mental health or relationship issues that may be present. Medications may be evaluated as contributing factors, and underlying medical conditions may be addressed."

I found this which claims Flibanserin and HSDD are both controversial. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6198608/

I guess for some a little help is better than nothing? Going from 2 to 3 may not be significant, but going from 0 to something might be.

ETA: the second article did mention the side effects and health risks.
