Female sexual disorders: what are the causes and solutions?
Female sexual disorders and blocks do not all have the same origin: if some are physiological, for others the reason is to be found on a psychological level. Also, sometimes you have to look from both sides, not just the woman's side. However, a sexual blockade always has an explanation that will need to be explored to fix the problem. Certainly, to increase the libido of the two partners and ensure that their relationship can be better, these 5 tips can prove to be really useful.
Vaginal dryness
Often temporary, it is a real impediment to sexual life. It is a lack of lubrication in the vagina, which makes penetration unpleasant, even painful. Generally due to hormonal changes, it can affect young girls, but also women during or after pregnancy and, of course, after menopause. However, stress, taking certain medications, overly aggressive intimate hygiene, alcohol or cigarettes can affect the mucosal lubrication mechanism.
The solutions: initially a water-based lubricant can be used to relieve this discomfort. Then, depending on the case, hormonal treatment can be prescribed. Often we also notice a precipitation of the partners during the sexual act. A woman's body needs time. The foreplay treatment is therefore a pleasant way to increase desire and to allow the vagina to lubricate itself naturally to promote penetration.

Dyspareunia: painful penetration
Dyspareunia is when you feel pain, more or less intense, at the time of penetration. The origin of this pain can be organic (after childbirth, for example), infectious (mycosis, cystitis, herpes, STD ...) or psychological. It can also derive from a still poorly identified phenomenon called vulvar vestibulitis: it is an "inflammation of the vestibule, ie the part located inside the labia minora.
The solutions: very penalizing for the couple's sexual life, these pains must first be localized (inside or outside the vagina, more or less in depth ...) and identified. Antibiotics can be prescribed for infections, but fear of pain often led to fear of intercourse over time and caused deeper blockages. Seeing a psychologist will help you overcome these fears and regain a fulfilled sexuality.
Vaginismus or denial of penetration
Vaginismus is an involuntary contraction of the muscles of the perineum and vagina. Although the genitals are normal because they respond perfectly to arousal and orgasm can be achieved by stimulating the clitoris, by reflex, the vaginal opening closes, thus preventing penetration. Vaginismus also makes gynecological examination impossible, as well as the use of tampons during menstruation.
The solutions: in 90% of cases, the cause of vaginismus is psychological. It can result from trauma, fear or even phobia of sexuality, or from a physiological block due to severe dyspareunia. The aim of the therapy is mainly to relax the muscles of the vagina. It is therefore a question of regaining possession of one's sexual organ, of gradually resuming a normal sexual life.
Anorgasmia: when orgasm takes place
Many women complain that they do not experience vaginal orgasm. However, total anorgasmia - or lack of orgasm - is only seen in women who do not experience clitoral orgasm or vaginal orgasm. Anorgasmia can occur early in sexuality, but it can also affect older women during their sex life.Anorgasmia can be complex and can even be limited to certain situations or partners.
The Solutions: Like many female sexual disorders, anorgasmia often has a psychological origin. It is therefore on the side of the psychotherapists that one must turn. Having found the origin of the psychological block, he will have to develop his sexual sensitivity and appropriate these erotic feelings.
Frigidity or lack of pleasure
Far beyond anorgasmia, frigidity is defined by the total absence of sexual pleasure. It translates into an "absence of erotic thoughts, while the body does not react to any form of stimulation: the genitals do not respond to caresses or arousal" and the vagina remains dry Sexual intercourse is then experienced as a duty, even as a chore, and is practiced with indifference.
The solutions: in this case too, psychological work is often the key to unlocking the situation. The woman must understand why she remains insensitive to any form of physical and sexual pleasure, while the couple must learn to communicate again. The aim of the treatment is for the woman suffering from frigidity to discover new (or forgotten) sensations, learning to indulge in them.
Loss of sensation
If this does not have a psychological reason, such as problems in the couple or partners who have difficulty keeping the flame of passion lit, the loss of sensations can have a very real cause which is the relaxation of the perineum, that is, of the muscle that surrounds and supports. the abdominal and genital organs.
Relaxation of the perineum, for example after pregnancy and childbirth, has direct consequences on sexuality and sensations. In fact, if the perineum is weakened and not very toned, its contractions during sexual intercourse will not be strong and rhythmic enough. The vagina will also be less stimulated. The sensations of pleasure will thus be less strong and the orgasm more difficult to achieve.
The solution: perineum rehabilitation sessions, which will allow the woman to become aware of the perineum and learn to contract and expand it. This work of contraction and relaxation will make the perineum more toned and therefore more efficient during sexual intercourse: the sensations will intensify and sexuality will be more satisfying and harmonious.
