In some ways female impotency is a result of similar causes than men, but is often treated very differently. In any case, the issue of female impotency has only recently been addressed, more often and has received just as much attention as would male impotency.
Whether people are aware that female impotency exists are not, the fact is it is just as treatable. The trick is to understand all the factors that could contribute to either poor libido or ‘erectile’ dysfunction in women.
Causes
As per ceraonline.org, erectile dysfunction in women is characterized by similar aspects as a man-her clitoris does not receive enough blood circulation. This could lead to failure to become aroused or total impotency where her clitoris does not respond to stimulation.
The reduction in blood flow to the areas where a woman may need it the most is caused by a number of factors. It could be a certain medication, or it could be the fact that a person is pregnant.
It could also be a psychological problem, such as Sexual trauma. In fact, this is reported to be one of the leading causes of female impotency today. Women who have been physically or emotionally abused as a child may also have a problem.
Symptoms
Diagnosis of female impotency sometimes is quite challenging. The reason for that is it could be more than one of the above causes that leads to low libido or no arousal.
The other problem is that a multitude of symptom variations may occur in a woman who is impotent. No two women are the same and will not have the same problems, but generally these are the most common side effects:
- Painful intercourse
- Low or no libido
- Inability to have an orgasm
- Little to no ability to remain sexually aroused
- No desire for sex when stimulated
- Desire to have sex but no arousal
There is not yet any “female Viagra” but it is still in the works and researchers have not given up on the idea. In the mean time, many cases of female impotency can be helped with a natural pill or herb.
It is impossible to predict which herb or herbal combination will help, though. This takes some careful research along with the courage to ask the right questions. A woman owes it to herself to ask these questions, too.
She has the right to enjoy sex as much as a man does. Her relationship counts on it in most cases as well.
Women and Treatment
Many women cannot achieve a satisfying orgasm not because of the problem with blood flow, but due to a lack of desire. Therefore, treatment may be complex.
While conventional drugs (if one was available to women) treat female impotency by redirecting blood flow to sexual organs, they may not fix low libido problems.
Therefore, women may be out of a solution that is comprehensive as far as prescription medication is concerned. There is no approved pharmaceutical drug for this purpose, at least not in the United States.
