Low Libido Symptoms

You may be experiencing different low libido symptoms

Possible symptoms include:
Perimenopause and menopause can cause a woman to experience vaginal dryness to the point where intercourse becomes painful making it an experience she dreads. The vagina and vulva are actually tightening and thinning besides becoming dry.

Low libido symptoms from perimenopause and menopause include mood swings, hot flashes, fatigue and possible weight gain. All of these occur due to hormonal changes in the body. With mood swings, one moment you may be feeling happy go lucky and the next minute you may become enraged. When experiencing a hot flash you may very suddenly become so hot that you start to sweat—a lot. Then once the overheated feeling goes away, the sweat may make you feel cold and clammy. When feeling fatigued you may feel like you overextend yourself with too many projects or daily activities. By the time your day is done, you most likely just want to lay your head on your pillow and go to sleep.

You may be experiencing depression which causes you to lose interest in just about everything you once enjoyed including sex and intimacy.

Fatigue is a low libido symptom. When one is extremely overtired, it is hard for the body to seek out pleasure when the survival trait emerges ahead of the pleasure factor.

Problems in your relationship with your spouse or significant other can cause low libido symptoms. If you are angry, hurt, upset, etc., with your partner it is difficult to get “in the mood” with him or her. Open communication with your loved one is imperative to feel desire towards him or her.

You may naturally have a low libido. There is nothing wrong with you. Some people have a high libido and some people have a low libido as each person is unique. Hopefully you are with a spouse or significant other that has close to the same libido as you do as this will help make things smoother in your relationship.

Stress can cause you to have some of the above low libido symptoms. Feeling very overwhelmed and/or worried can cause a damper in your libido. With less stress in your life you can calmly focus on you and your health.

Summary
There are many low libido symptoms that you can seek help with your doctor to lessen or dissolve the symptoms. You do not have to continue to live with your low libido symptoms.
