Patient's question:
My wife often reacts negatively if I touch her. It's not just that she doesn't want to get into bed with me, even when we're in the same room, she feels very reluctant. Before we got divorced, she was still a virgin. She always says I love sex a lot, but I feel she's the one who's frigid—it's as if she has no sexual desire at all. It's very frustrating.What kind of help do I need: What are the symptoms and treatments for female sexual frigidity?
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 sexual desire. Sexual apathy is a different concept from a lack of sexual pleasure. The two can occur simultaneously or separately, hence, sexual apathy is divided into two types: sensory deprivation sexual apathy syndrome and non-sensory deprivation sexual apathy syndrome. Patients with sexual apathy need to completely eliminate stress, focus on reducing pleasure for themselves and their partner, and identify and eliminate the causes of low libido.
