Patient's question:
Treatment methods for frigidity? How can one overcome it well, and desire a fulfilling sexual life?Doctor's answer:
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, frigidity is believed to be located in the heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys. It is caused by congenital or acquired deficiencies, as well as emotional or psychological trauma, leading to chronic illness and physical weakness. The pathogenesis involves qi stagnation, phlegm obstruction, essence deficiency, or insufficient qi and blood. Mild cases reduced libido, characterized by married individuals having low desire for sexual activity, with no sexual intercourse for a month or several months. Severe cases involve complete lack of sexual desire or complete absence of sexual intercourse, with no desire even if months or years pass without intercourse, lack of sexual fantasies, and inability to achieve pleasure or climax even during forced intercourse. Psychological cases often accompany symptoms such as depression, low mood, and excessive sensitivity. Organic cases present with symptoms corresponding to the underlying organic disease. Clinical manifestations may include incomplete development of secondary sexual characteristics or external genitalia.
