What is low libido or low sex drive?

Libido, also known as your sex drive, can vary from woman to woman and there is no right or wrong level. Many women will experience low libido at some time in their lives_[1]. Low libido can include absence of sexual thoughts or fantasies, loss of desire for, or interest in sexual activity and loss of response to a partner initiating sexual activity. For many women this can cause anxiety, frustration, guilt or sadness. A medical term hypoactive sexual desire disorder/ dysfunction (HSDD) is used when women experience loss of sexual desire that causes them personal distress. HSDD can only be diagnosed after other factors such as depression, relationship issues and discomfort with sex have been excluded.
