ABOUT HYPOACTIVE SEXUAL DESIRE DISORDER

You may not realize that decreased desire affects many women just like you. Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder, or HSDD, is defined as decreased sexual desire that leads to personal distress. After you go through menopause or had a hysterectomy, your body reduces its production of testosterone, which can result in decreased desire. Testosterone is not just a male hormone. It actually plays an important role in a female's sex drive. Low testosterone may contribute to the symptoms of decreased desire. Your decreased desire or low libido may have a lot less to do with your mood or other aspects of your life and a lot more to do with your hormone levels.
