Patient's question:
Hello doctor! I've been married for 5 years, and my child is now 3. But my libido has been declining, to the point where I almost have no sensation anymore. My husband works late, so by the time he comes home at night, I'm already asleep. Additionally, a friend recently went through a tough time, and it made me think about how there's not much difference between men and women—just like animals, right? Now, I barely have any reaction at all. On top of that, I've been facing repeated setbacks at work lately, which leaves me with even less motivation. You say, is this considered hypoactive sexual desire disorder? Do I need treatment?Doctor's answer:
Sexual apathy refers to a lack of sexual desire, commonly known as having no interest in sexual activity, or sometimes described as a decrease in libido. It affects both men and women, but the proportion of women is significantly higher. Female sexual apathy refers to some women who have no interest in sexual activity, even to the extent of feeling aversion.
