Let's Reinvent Female Libido

Lost Female Sex Drive Can Be Retrieved

Testosterone plays a crucial role in female sexuality. Surgically-induced menopause can cause a rapid drop in hormonal levels, which can cause female sexual dysfunction. Let's read on to know more about female sexual dysfunction treatment with Intrinsa Patch.

Male sexual drive can be easily defined and restored, but that's not always the case with females. Female libido is influenced by multiple factors ranging from physical, psychological, and social aspects.

An overview of female libido

Many women lose interest in sexual activity as they age, which can directly affect their relationship. In fact loss of libido has been one of the underlying causes of relationship problems. Psychological or relationship problems can evenly contribute to the loss of sex drive in females.

THE TRUTH ABOUT FEMALE SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION

According to a scientific research, about 50% women suffer from female sexual dysfunction (FSD) as they get old. Its symptoms may include decline in sexual desire, diminished sexual arousal, problems getting orgasm, and painful sexual intercourse.

Hormones orchestrate sexual function in both men and women. During regular monthly menstrual cycle, the levels of female sex hormones (oestrogen and progesterone) fluctuate. But as the menstrual period ends, they restore to their normal levels. When a woman goes through menopause, the ovaries cease to produce oestrogen and progesterone. This sudden drop in the level of female sex hormones can also lead to female sexual dysfunction. When a woman has no sexual desire, cannot get sexually aroused and reach orgasm, the condition is known as hypoactive sexual desire disorder. When a woman undergoes hysterectomy (removal of the ovaries), there is an abrupt fall in the levels of oestrogen, progesterone, and in small amounts, testosterone. Menopause sets in before its usual time as a result of this hormonal imbalance. Approximately, one in five women experiencing surgically-induced menopause could suffer from female sexual dysfunction.

Apart from hormonal and physical changes that occur during or after menopause and pregnancy, female sexual dysfunction is often associated with some psychological factors such as:

  • Poor self-esteem
  • Feelings of shame or guilt about sex
  • Fear of pregnancy
  • Depression
  • Sexual abuse or past sexual experience
  • Inadequate or ineffective foreplay

INTRINSA CAN MAKE FSD TREATMENT POSSIBLE

Over the past number of years, there have been many new developments in the field of female libido enhancers. Hormone replacement therapy is a standard treatment that can help compensate for the lack of sex hormones after menopause. Ideally, for women who undergo menopause naturally, a combination of oestrogen and progestin is prescribed for relieving of the symptoms. But an oestrogen-only therapy is prescribed for women who undergo menopause due to surgical removal of the ovaries. As the level of testosterone also falls after hysterectomy, women already on oestrogen therapy are prescribedtestosterone patches to compensate for the loss of testosterone.

Intrinsa patches are a FSD treatment. A single patch contains 8.4mg of testosterone and releases about 300mcg of testosterone in gradual controlled doses into the bloodstream over a period of 24 hours. Intrinsa patch should be considered a long-term treatment to notice positive results. You need to wear it continuously below the waist for at least 72 hours. Intrinsa patches should be changed every 3-4 days to maintain its effectiveness. For example, if you begin your Intrinsa treatment on Monday, the next patch should be applied on Thursday. This patch can be used by women up to the age of 65 years to treat female sexual dysfunction.

Intrinsa patches are not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women because of its active ingredient. According to a clinical trial, 51% of total women who had surgically-induced menopause reported enhanced sexual performance after using Intrinsa patch.

A registered doctor will then study your condition and depending on your suitability to take the treatment, prescribe Intrinsa Patch for you.
