What Medical Conditions Can Lead to Female Sexual Dysfunction?
Female sexual function depends on several factors including blood flow, hormone levels, and state of mind. Any medical condition that affects one or more of these factors has the potential to cause female sexual dysfunction (FSD). Several medical conditions commonly lead to symptoms of FSD including the following:
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Sudden hormonal changes
- Diabetes
- Antidepressant medications
High blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol are all conditions that are known to affect blood flow. When blood flow is decreased it can be difficult for women to become aroused and reach orgasm. If blood flow is down for an extended period of time, tissues of the vaginal wall can start to atrophy and become less healthy,, leading to vaginal dryness and painful intercourse.
Hormonal changes from hypo and hyperthyroidism as well as antidepressant medications used to treat depression and anxiety disorders can have an effect on sexual function. Many women with these conditions report having a lack of sex drive or libido along with experiencing difficulty becoming aroused.
