What are common causes of Female Sexual Dysfunction?

Back to FAQs

FSD can be caused by multiple factors, including:

  • Hormonal imbalances (low Estrogen, Progesterone, or Testosterone)
  • Menopause and perimenopause
  • Vaginal atrophy and dryness
  • Stress, anxiety, and psychological factors
  • Certain medications (antidepressants, blood pressure medications)
  • Medical conditions (diabetes, thyroid disorders)
  • Fatigue and sleep issues
  • Body image and self-confidence concerns

Identifying contributing factors allows your provider to tailor the most effective treatment plan for you. Many women benefit from addressing both hormonal and lifestyle factors.
