Although we have progressed a lot as a society, a large part of society still underestimates women. Women's desires, their emotions, their dreams and their expectations from life are rarely talked about. Now when we are finding it difficult to talk about common issues related to women, then there can be less hope for women to talk openly about their sexual health. But in reality, this should be discussed openly. Many things affect the sexual health of women which are important to talk about. Women themselves are often unaware of things related to their sexual health and due to this many times they have to face problems. Here we are telling you about some things which affect the sexual health of women. Dr. Anita Singhala, Obstetrician and Gynecologist, Fortis Hospital, Noida is giving information about this.
Hormonal imbalance
Hormones can fluctuate in women's bodies due to many reasons including menstrual cycle, pregnancy, delivery and menopause. This imbalance can cause decreased libido, vaginal dryness and mood swings. Which has a direct impact on the sexual desire and pleasure of women.
Mental health
This is often ignored but sexual health is also related to mental health. Due to stress, anxiety, depression and many other reasons, the desire to have sexual relations may decrease. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to these also.
Physical conditions
Many medical conditions in women like PCOS, PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) affect the sexual health of women.
Lifestyle Factors
Improper eating habits, lack of sleep and other lifestyle-related reasons also affect the sexual health of women. These can cause fatigue, weakness and decreased libido. Therefore, it is important to understand these also.
