Making a resolution for the New Year is the same process as setting a goal at any time of the year. I am a huge proponent of goal setting and I use it in my practice regularly. It is my firm belief that the best way to accomplish anything is to set a goal and then to map out the steps you will take to achieve that goal. …
There is no uncertainty when it comes to crushing substernal chest pain, severe abdominal pain or a fainting episode, get yourself to the ER or call 911. There are symptoms, however, that fall into a middle ground and you wonder: should I bother the doctor on call? As an Internal Medicine Doctor I am often surprised when patients tell me …

Female sexual dysfunction refers to persistent or recurring reduction in sex drive, lack of interest in sexual activity, difficulty becoming aroused, inability to achieve orgasm, or pain during intercourse that causes distress.
A national study of sexual behavior in a large group of American men and women found that sexual dysfunction is more common among women than men (43 versus 31 percent). Female sexual dysfunction can occur at any age but midlife is a particularly common time for changes to occur. The transition to menopause impacts the lives of women in different ways but often includes diminished sexual function.
Fluctuating hormone levels that define perimenopause and continue to decline can lead to many changes including changes in vaginal lubrication, and sexual responsiveness. There are many other factors that are well known contributors to female sexual issues including personal well-being, overall health, depression and anxiety disorders, vaginal dryness, and children living at home. Medications also have the ability to diminish desire, arousal, and orgasm with a group of antidepressants called SSRIs being the greatest offender.
Non-pharmacologic therapies that are known to be effective are communication, lifestyle changes (such as smoking cessation, strength training exercises) and the use of vaginal lubricants. When lifestyle, communication and behavioral changes do not achieve the desired level of success, pharmacological therapy can be used with the support of your primary care provider. Dailystrength users have experience with the hormonal options including estrogens and testosterone.
In Dailystrengthís female sexual issues support group members help each other cope with issues relating to libido, painful intercourse, difficulty achieving orgasm and communicating with your partner. Additional online support groups at Dailystrength related to female sexual issues include depression, anxiety, and sexually transmitted diseases.
If you are experiencing female sexual issues and want an anonymous forum for people with similar issues, Dailystrength's female sexual issues group will provide support and guidance. You can inform yourself using these additional resources and chat with other DailyStrength members about your questions.
