Decreased Libido
Also Known As: Decreased Libido, Loss of libido, No sex drive, Loss of sex drive, Sexual dysfunction, No sexual desire
Sexual dysfunction or sexual malfunction is difficulty experienced by an individual or a couple during any stage of a normal sexual activity, including physical pleasure, desire, preference, arousal. Sexual dysfunctions can have a profound impact on an individual's perceived quality of sexual life.[1] A thorough sexual history and assessment of general health and other sexual problems (if any) are very important. Assessing (performance) anxiety, guilt, stress and worry are integral to the optimal management of sexual dysfunction. Many of the sexual dysfunctions that are defined are based on the human sexual response cycle, proposed by William H. Masters and Virginia E. Johnson, and then modified by Helen Singer Kaplan.[2][3]
