According to statistics, about a third of the female population of the planet suffers from certain sex drive disorders . Why does frigidity occur? What it is? How can you diagnose this condition? Are there effective and quick treatments for this disorder? Many are interested in these issues.
Frigidity - what is it?
To date, this term combines the most diverse disorders of sexual function in women. But what does frigidity mean? In fact, doctors rarely define such a violation as a disease. It is generally accepted that this is a condition in which women do not experience sexual desire, remain indifferent to sexual intercourse, or sexual intercourse is associated exclusively with negative emotions.
Frigidity can be both permanent and temporary. Some sexologists distinguish three main degrees of severity of such a disorder:
- Some women are able to experience pleasant sensations during sexual intercourse, but can not get an orgasm.
- The second degree of frigidity is accompanied by complete indifference to sexual relations, and physical contacts are not accompanied by arousal.
- In the most severe cases, sexual intercourse causes a woman to disgust.
Forms and causes of female frigidity
In fact, such a disorder can be associated both with the peculiarities of the physiology of a woman, and with some mental disorders. Modern sexologists distinguish several forms of frigidity, depending on the causes:
- Primary frigidity is often diagnosed in young girls and is not considered a serious problem. After all, not everyone in their teens is emotionally prepared for physical intimacy, hence the lack of attraction and pleasure.
- The symptomatic form of the disorder is associated with certain diseases. Of course, sexual passivity can be caused by diseases of the reproductive system , insufficient development of the genitals, or some complications during childbirth. On the other hand, the disappearance of attraction to the opposite sex often occurs against the background of hormonal disorders and diseases of the nervous system. The reason may be the use of drugs, vitamin deficiency, physical or mental exhaustion of the body.
- There is also the so-called constitutional frigidity. What it is? The reasons for this violation have not yet been fully studied. Nevertheless, scientists believe that the inability to experience physical attraction is caused by some birth defects.
- The retrograde form of such a disorder is indicated in those cases when the woman comes to the pleasure of sexual contact much later, sometimes even years after the first intimacy.
- Withdrawal frigidity develops against the background of prolonged abstinence. A prolonged lack of physical contact gradually leads to the extinction of the main reflexes and the disappearance of sexual desire.
- The most common is psychogenic frigidity. What it is? This condition may be associated with some psychological trauma, for example, an unpleasant first experience, domestic violence, rape. On the other hand, sexual desire may be absent due to distrust of a partner or fear, if a woman is afraid to catch an infection, become pregnant. Long-term use of the method of interrupted intercourse often leads to the development of frigidity. And, of course, it is worth mentioning that the reason often lies in the features of upbringing, when parents (or the environment) prohibit any manifestation of sexuality.
It is worth saying that there can be several reasons for the lack of sexual desire.
Are there treatments for frigidity?
In no case should you be ashamed or try to hide a similar problem, it is best to immediately go to a sexologist. Naturally, first you will need a complete diagnosis, which includes consultation with a gynecologist, endocrinologist and psychologist, since in this case it is important to determine the cause of sexual disorder. If frigidity arose against the background of the disease, then it is first necessary to cure it.
Some women expect the doctor to prescribe a cure for frigidity immediately. Unfortunately, such a tool does not exist. Naturally, drug treatment can be effective, and depending on the results of the examination, sedatives, hormone therapy may be prescribed to the woman. But if the cause is a psychological trauma, then only regular classes by a psychotherapist can help here. Mud therapy, massages, aromatherapy are also used, in a word, all those techniques that help the patient to relax and relax.
