HSDD - What is it?

Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD), characterized by absence of desire for sexual activity. It can also be low or absence of desire for sex. Biological and psychological reasons can lead to this condition. This condition escalates stress and tension in relationships.

The various subtypes of this condition are listed below:

• General - near-total absence of sexual desire
  
• Situational - has sexual desire, but not with current partner
  
• Acquired - had normal sexual functioning in the past. Sexual desire is now low.
  
• Lifelong - always had low or no sexual desire

This condition is different from frigidity or impotence, where the person suffer from sexual dysfunction due to physical conditions, in spite of having sexual desires. In Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder, the person has no desire to have sex with his/her partner.

HSDD becomes a clinical problem only if the condition causes marked disorder in interpersonal relationship.

The following points can possibly be the reasons for HSDD in women:

• Medical issues
  
• Psychiatric/psychological problems
  
• Hormonal disorders
  
• Stressful relationships

However, it is extremely difficult to pinpoint a reason for HSDD. In case of lifelong HSDD, the reasons are never discovered. For acquired or situational HSDD, the reasons can be a combination of two or more factors.

Treatment for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorders

If lack of sexual desire persists for more than six months, you may need to seek clinical or psychological treatment. You need to be cautious if you:

• Have no sexual desires
  
• Have no desire towards your partner
  
• Fail to initiate sex
  
• Fail to respond to partner's initiation
  
• Absence of pleasure from sexual engagement

Luckily, medical science has evolved a lot and treatments for HSDD are available. Your clinician will need a thorough evaluation of biological and psychological reasons behind the condition. Persons suffering from this condition can get psychological counseling, therapies or treatments according to possible reasons.

Lifelong HSDD is not likely to be cured. Psychological counseling may help the partners adapt to the situation.

For acquired-generalized HSDD (general lack of desire for sexual intimacy) may be due to some biological reasons, which the clinician would identify.

For acquired-situational (lack of intimacy towards current partner) can be rooted on psychological reasons. Counseling - alone or together - can help partners identify the cause and solve the problem

Leaving hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) without treatment can cause stress and escalate tensions in an otherwise beautiful relationship. Seek help if low sexual desire by you or your partner is causing problems in your relationship.

A Word of Caution

It is possible that you can lack sexual desire for some time, especially after a major event that affects you psychologically - like a big loss. This can lead to temporary problems like lack of sexual desire for some time, which can last for a few months. Don't raise warning flag too early, because your partner may need time to adapt to the situation. After all, sexual intimacy evolves from mutual attraction, understanding and care. For indepth information on HSDD treatments, we encourage you to check out an excellent online resource website called hsddonline.com.

Seek treatments for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder only if the problem persists for more than six months and starts affecting your relationship.
