Frequently asked questions

What are the signs and symptoms of Female Sexual Dysfunction?

Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) encompasses various issues related to sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, and pain during intercourse. Common symptoms include low libido, difficulty becoming aroused, inability to reach orgasm, and experiencing pain during sexual activity. These symptoms can lead to frustration, anxiety, and relationship strain. FSD may be influenced by physical factors, such as hormonal changes or medical conditions, as well as psychological factors, including stress, past trauma, or body image issues.

How common is Female Sexual Dysfunction?

Female Sexual Dysfunction is a widespread issue, affecting an estimated 40% of women at some point in their lives. It is more common during and after menopause but can affect women of all ages. Factors such as hormonal fluctuations, health conditions, stress, and relationship issues can all contribute to the prevalence of FSD. Many women experience FSD as a temporary condition, while others may face ongoing challenges that benefit from professional intervention.

How is Female Sexual Dysfunction treated?

Treatment for Female Sexual Dysfunction is often multifaceted, involving a combination of medical, psychological, and relational approaches. Hormone therapy, pelvic floor exercises, and medications may help address physical symptoms, while psychotherapy and sex therapy can be effective in resolving psychological or emotional barriers. Online counseling provides a comfortable, convenient option for women seeking support, helping them explore issues related to desire, self-image, and relationship dynamics that may impact their sexual well-being.

What are the risks of leaving Female Sexual Dysfunction untreated?

Untreated Female Sexual Dysfunction can lead to a diminished quality of life, including increased stress, low self-esteem, and relationship conflicts. Women may feel disconnected from their partners and experience frustration or shame related to their sexual experiences. Over time, untreated FSD can contribute to mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, and can have a lasting impact on romantic relationships. Addressing FSD with appropriate treatment can improve sexual health, emotional well-being, and relationship satisfaction.

Can online counseling help treat or manage Female Sexual Dysfunction?

Yes, online counseling can be a valuable tool in managing Female Sexual Dysfunction. Virtual therapy allows women to discuss sensitive issues in a convenient, comfortable setting, making it easier to explore underlying factors affecting sexual health. Online counseling can provide sex therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and relationship counseling, helping women address emotional, psychological, and relational aspects of FSD. This flexible approach supports women in developing a healthier, more satisfying sexual life.

What next?

We recommend online counseling which can be very effective at treating Female Sexual Dysfunction.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a therapist via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It can help address self-destructive behaviors, limiting beliefs, painful feelings, relationship issues, and more.

It is convenient for those who either cannot travel or would prefer not to meet with a therapist in-person. Starting at $65 per week, it can also be more affordable than in-person counseling and is available worldwide.

Female Sexual Dysfunction is real, common, and treatable with online counseling.
