Revive and Enhance Sexual Arousal

Sexual problems often develop when your hormones are in flux, such as after having a baby or during menopause. Major illnesses, such as cancer, diabetes, or heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease, can also contribute to sexual dysfunction.

Factors

Often interrelated — that contribute to sexual dissatisfaction or dysfunction include:

Physical

Any number of medical conditions, including cancer, kidney failure, multiple sclerosis, heart disease and bladder problems, can lead to sexual dysfunction. Certain medications, including some antidepressants, blood pressure medications, antihistamines and chemotherapy drugs, can decrease your sexual desire and your body’s ability to experience orgasm.

Hormonal

Lower estrogen levels after menopause may lead to changes in your genital tissues and sexual responsiveness. A decrease in estrogen leads to decreased blood flow to the pelvic region, which can result in less genital sensation, as well as needing more time to build arousal and reach orgasm.

The vaginal lining also becomes thinner and less elastic, particularly if you’re not sexually active.

These factors can lead to painful intercourse (dyspareunia). Sexual desire also decreases when hormonal levels decrease.

Your body’s hormone levels also shift after giving birth and during breastfeeding, which can lead to vaginal dryness and can affect your desire to have sex.

Psychological and social

Untreated anxiety or depression can cause or contribute to sexual dysfunction, as can long-term stress and a history of sexual abuse. The worries of pregnancy and demands of being a new mother may have similar effects.

Long-standing conflicts with your partner

about sex or other aspects of your relationship — can diminish your sexual responsiveness as well. Cultural and religious issues in Nigeria and problems with body image also can contribute.

Sexual issues frequently arise while your hormones are in flux, such as after childbirth or after menopause. Major illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, and heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease can all lead to sexual dysfunction.

The following factors, which are frequently interconnected, lead to sexual dissatisfaction or dysfunction:

  • Physical- Various medical disorders, such as cancer, renal failure, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and bladder difficulties, can cause sexual dysfunction. Certain medications, such as antidepressants, blood pressure meds, antihistamines, and chemotherapy treatments, might impair your sexual desire and capacity to attain orgasm.
  • Hormonal- Lower estrogen levels during menopause may cause changes in your vaginal tissues and sexual receptivity. A reduction in estrogen reduces blood flow to the pelvic area, resulting in less genital sensation and requiring longer time to build arousal and attain climax. Sexual desire also declines when hormone levels drop. Your hormone levels also change after giving birth and when nursing, which can cause vaginal dryness and reduce your desire to have intercourse.
  • The vaginal lining also thins and loses elasticity, especially if you are not sexually active. These causes can cause painful intercourse (dyspareunia).
  • Psychological and social factors, such as untreated anxiety or melancholy, long-term stress, and a history of sexual abuse, can all contribute to sexual dysfunction. The stresses of pregnancy and the duties of being a new mother may have comparable impacts.
  • Long-term confrontations with your spouse, whether about sex or other elements of your relationship, can also reduce your sexual receptivity. Cultural and religious difficulties in Nigeria, as well as body image concerns, can all play a role.
