Sexual desire : How to balance your hormones and feel good

A frequent problem of our time is the reduction of female sexual desire and satisfaction. Knowing that there are many causes of sexual dysfunction, we must first take into account the physical problems that need to be diagnosed and treated. Reduced sexual desire, however, is often due to the feeling of failure, inadequacy and disappointment created by the accumulation of the unrealistic demands the woman has from herself.

“I have to work out more, I have to cook more often, I have to keep the house cleaner, I have to dress better, I should be more committed to my job, I should be a better mother, spouse, friend, daughter” and goes saying …

The woman who often wonders about all these “should” slowly begins to feel lost, she remains helpless, hopeless, and defeated. Failure hunts her. This psychological condition has been shown to cause a decrease in the levels of estrogen and testosterone, hormones that are useful in smooth sexual function and fertility. Instead, cortisol, the stress hormone increases, which in turn has an adverse effect on the reproductive system.

The good news is that when a woman realises that she cannot control everything, she appreciates what she is, calms and the levels of hormones return to normal, along with sexual desire and fertility. Of course, to overcome this psychological condition, the woman and her partner must learn to communicate and better organise their day and find time to spend together creatively.
