Women go through different problems every day and many of them are not even aware of what they are and how it can affect their lives. The female impotence is one of them and, therefore, let’s talk about it in today’s text and clear up any doubts you may have. Do you want to know more about it? So be sure to read and get informed!
What is Female Impotence?
The first thing that we must conceptualize for you to understand the subject of today’s text is what female impotence is and how it manifests itself in a woman’s body. This problem is nothing more than the difficulty of a woman to get aroused, to reach orgasm, to have enough lubrication to have sex or even to have pain during those relationships.
The female impotence is common , what happens to many women around the world and should not be seen as something bad, but as a problem to be solved. As with men, women can have impotence problems that need treatment to have a healthier sex life.
The Four Stages of Female Sexual Response
To better understand how female impotence can cause problems, it is interesting to analyze the four phases of the female sexual response. This way, it is easier to identify where the problem occurs and understand why it can disrupt a woman’s life. These four phases are:
- Excitement
- Plateau
- Orgasm
- Resolution
Let’s talk about each one separately so that you better understand the role they play in a woman’s sexual response.
Excitement
In this first phase, the brain sends stimuli to the rest of the body, which causes arousal and desire to increase. These stimuli can be triggered for several reasons, from the presence of someone who attracts women, even movies or stories. In a woman, touch and smell are the two senses that most stimulate desire and increase arousal, but the psychological part also counts for a lot.
Plateau
This is the stage when the body prepares itself for the sexual act. In addition to increased muscle tension, some of the other effects it has are a slight enlargement of the clitoris, vaginal lubrication, uterine elevation and dilation of the vagina.
Orgasm
Orgasm is the climax, the moment of greatest sexual pleasure and also the stage when all tension is released. In a woman, it is characterized by several involuntary contractions of the vagina at a constant pace. It does not always come in the same way and, depending on the relationship, it can last more or less time, even though its average duration is only a few seconds.
Resolution
It is the last stage, which comes after orgasm and that makes the woman’s body start to return to normal. It is at this stage that the clitoris returns to its normal size, as well as the vagina and the body’s signals also begin to return to their natural state.
Female impotence can be related to any of these four stages. Many believe that the problem may be just in the arousal phase, which is a mistake and can cause a woman to live with impotence for a long time.
Types of Female Impotence
After understanding more deeply what female impotence is, it is also important to know what the main types are and how they manifest themselves. We will talk about each one separately so that you can understand more deeply what they are. These types are:
- Pain Disorder
- Anorgasmia
- Low Sexual Desire
- Excitation Disorder
Pain Disorder
Pain disorder is one of the main types of female sexual impotence and is directly linked to the stage of arousal and the plateau. When the woman’s body is unable to properly prepare for sex, either with little lubrication or even without sending the correct stimuli, the woman ends up experiencing pain during the act. This makes it a bad experience for both her and her partner. Pain disorder can occur for a variety of reasons, from physical to psychological factors and must be treated appropriately in order to be cured.
Anorgasmia
Anorgasmia is nothing more than a woman’s difficulty in reaching an orgasm. It is important to note that this can happen even if the woman is excited and stimulated. This problem is often related to a lack of knowledge about one’s own sexuality, as well as cultural and social issues that can affect a woman psychologically. Orgasm is essential for various tensions to be relieved, in addition to also releasing several wellness hormones that help us to live better. Therefore, seeking professional help to solve anorgasmia problems is essential.
Low Sexual Desire
Many people do not know, but low sexual desire is also a manifestation of female impotence. This condition is often related to a lack of hormones or certain psychological conditions. Whatever the reason, it is important to seek treatment so that the woman can have a healthy sex life.
Excitation Disorder
The arousal disorder involves a lack of physical response to sexual stimuli, whether in the woman’s genital region or not. The causes of this type of female impotence are usually psychological and are directly linked to problems such as low self-esteem, depression , anxiety or even feelings of guilt or excessive shyness.
What causes Female Impotence?
As you can already see, female impotence basically has two main causes: Hormonal disorders and psychological conditions , when the two are not together.
If the cause of female impotence is a purely hormonal factor, the problem tends to be treated more easily, through certain medications and replacement therapies.
However, if the cause of female sexual impotence is psychological, treatment can be a little more complicated. Several social and cultural factors , such as religiosity, the social rules in which a woman grows, in addition to the relationships and references that she has from the opposite sex, can contribute to her presenting some type of female impotence. In addition, diseases such as depression, excessive stress and anxiety disorder can also cause women to experience any of these problems.
In all of these cases, it is important that a specialist doctor is sought for the problem to be resolved. Of course, in cases where other psychological illnesses are at issue, other types of professionals may also be requested.
Of course, some other factors can cause a woman to have any of these problems, such as someone who has had surgery on the genital region or who uses certain medications that have this side effect. However, these cases are more rare, specific and, therefore, easier to be identified and treated.
How is the Diagnosis done?
For many women, it is difficult to understand that their problem is a female sexual dysfunction, which can make it difficult to find the best treatment. So, for a doctor to be sure of what it is about, he should ask a series of questions related to his sexuality and his life in general, in addition to also asking for tests to check his hormone level.
Only in this way will a doctor be able to have a correct diagnosis if his problem is really female impotence and indicate which are the best treatments for his specific case .
Treatments for Female Impotence
There is not only one way to treat female impotence, as there are different causes and different types of impotence, as you have already seen. However, it is possible to indicate which are the two main paths that doctors usually follow in these cases. They are:
- Drug Treatments
- Psychological Treatments
Drug Treatments
Drug treatments often use estrogen in the vagina as a method. This is because this technique helps to increase the lubrication of the vagina, in addition to also increasing blood flow and its elasticity. A doctor may also recommend treatment with testosterone, which is the hormone responsible for a woman’s arousal.
Psychological Treatments
As we said earlier, many of the causes of female impotence have to do with psychological factors. A psychologist can choose to do relaxation exercises, as well as showing you ways to better deal with your own sexuality, with your body and your partner’s body. It is not a short-term treatment, but it is something that usually generates good results when done well.
Is there any Home Remedy for Female Impotence?
With a little research on the internet you can find several recipes for home remedies to cure female impotence. Although many of these recipes contain ingredients that, in fact, can help women with this problem, it is important that you seek medical help. Only specialists in the field can give an accurate diagnosis and indicate treatments that are really effective for your problem.
Female impotence is a problem as real as it is natural and it should not be frightening or even a taboo as it often is. The mere fact that talking about this subject is a problem, indicates many of its causes. The most important thing is that a woman is aware that she has impotence and seeks help to have a healthy sex life. This is positive in several ways and ends up reflecting on how she views life as well.
