In this session, we will delve into the intricate relationship between physiology, anatomy, and emotional factors that contribute to low libido in women. Specifically focusing on Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD), we will explore why this condition is prevalent yet often overlooked, particularly in women in mid-life and menopause. By understanding the complexity of factors involved, we aim to provide a holistic perspective on this common but rarely discussed issue. The session will not only raise awareness but also offer a comprehensive overview of various treatment options available to address low libido in women. From medical interventions to lifestyle changes and emotional support, we will explore a range of strategies aimed at empowering women to regain control over their sexual health and vitality.
