Hypolipidemia is a serious problem
Sexual dysfunction occurs in various forms throughout the life of many people, regardless of their age or gender. One of them, however, appears much more often than the other. This is hypolibidemia, also known as, inter alia, frigidness or, in the past, sexual anorexia. The journal “After graduation” states that up to one in four people is affected by hypolibidemia.
Research by prof. Zbigniew Lew-Starowicz, quoted by the editors of the podyśmie.pl website, conducted on a sample of 1500 people, show that it concerns 16,6 percent. men, as well as 35 percent. women. Other studies also seem to confirm these findings when it comes to the European population. However, it is most often experienced by the Japanese and Chinese of both sexes in the world.

Most often, hypolibidemia is diagnosed on the basis of characteristic symptoms, which include a lack of interest in intercourse. A person who suffers from this disorder very rarely experiences spontaneous arousal. He also rarely feels the need to fantasize about a partner.
Some people suffering from sexual anorexia would like this sphere of their life to return to the previous state from years ago. Sometimes they are disturbed by their coldness, e.g. because their partner has greater needs. Due to the mismatch in this area, there are therefore frequent misunderstandings, quarrels, and after a long time even the end of a relationship that may not survive the crisis.
Long-term negative emotions in close relationships can also lead to depression. In addition, the person affected by hypolibidemia feels alienated from other people who are willing to have regular intercourse.
However, these symptoms must persist for a minimum of six months. Only then can a disorder be diagnosed.
Dietary supplements with a composition of ingredients that support sexual activity can also help. Product for men and women can be found at Medonet Market.
The causes of the appearance of hypolibidemia
Hypolibidemia can occur for a variety of reasons. One of the most common concerns the psychological aspects. A person who has little interest in having sex may have a variety of phobias in this area. He may also feel stressed to a great extent for a long time, while not taking care of himself or herself and relaxing.
Also, the relationship itself may not be satisfactory for the individual. A person who experiences libido disorders may find their partner not attractive enough. Routine could also creep into the relationship. In addition, a partner may not feel trust in the other party in the relationship. Quarrels and conflicts, which are not solved, but instead “swept under the carpet”, are also important, causing the partners to distance themselves from each other.
When diagnosing problems in the area of libido, it is important to determine whether a person who experiences disorders is taking medications on a permanent basis. These can trigger hormone fluctuations.
Sometimes a person’s genetics are a factor in the development of hypolibidemia. She has an innate tendency to feel less and less interested in the sexual sphere with age.
Cultural factors are also important. A person’s desires can be effectively restrained by religion. This person may also be addicted to meeting their needs alone while watching adult films, which in turn may result in a surfeit in this area.
Treatment? Psychotherapy
How to treat hypolibidemia? One solution for women is to administer flibanserin. It is a drug that is given before the menopause. It has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It affects neurotransmitters by regulating the secretion of dopamine, norepinephrine, which have a stimulating effect, and serotonin, which has an inhibitory effect.
However, the mere use of medication can in some cases cause the problem to persist. Psychotherapy is also recommended — with a partner or alone — during which the couple can work through problems and become aware of their unmet, unspoken needs. A woman or a man under the therapist’s supervision will also be able to become aware of what is in the unconscious, which blocks desire.
It also happens that a visit to a sexologist who will suggest how to diversify intercourse turns out to be effectiveand it will ‘educate’ your partner about the anatomy of your body or help you identify a person’s concerns about what is normal and what is not gender.
