Low Libido in Women: Is It a Personal Issue or Just Stress?

🧠 Is Low Libido a Personal Problem?

Many women blame themselves when they feel low desire. But studies from Mayo Clinic and NHS show that over 70% of female libido issues are due to stress, hormonal changes, fatigue, or relationship challenges—not personal flaws.

💬 Common Root Causes:

  1. Stress & Exhaustion: Workload, caretaking roles, poor sleep all reduce activity in brain areas related to sexual desire.

  2. Hormonal Fluctuations: Menstrual cycle, menopause, birth control pills, and thyroid issues greatly influence libido.

  3. Relationship Disconnect: Lack of emotional bonding and intimacy often leads to a drop in desire.

  4. Medication or Mental Health: Antidepressants, anxiety, and past trauma can reduce physiological responses.

💡 3 Practical Strategies to Reignite Desire

1. Create non-sexual intimacy moments

Schedule short daily connections like hugging, touching, or sharing thoughts. These build trust and emotional closeness, which often lead to revived desire.

2. Regulate stress and sleep routines

Good sleep, 20-minute daily walks or yoga boost serotonin and oxytocin—two essential chemicals in sexual readiness and connection.

3. Seek support and care for your intimate area

If low libido persists, talk to a gynecologist or sex therapist. Meanwhile, using intimate care products like SERENE Intimate Essence Gel helps you feel fresh, reduce irritation or dryness, and reconnect with your body.
