Frigidity, symptoms, causes and treatment

By frigidity or sexual dysfunction is the total absence or decline in a woman's libido or sexual desire, characteristic sexual sensations and orgasm (sexual coldness). In some cases of frigidity, complete indifference, and even aversion to sexual intimacy, can be observed.



The causes of frigidity.
Frigid woman completely uninteresting sexual side of her life, the sexual act does not cause her any emotions, moreover, he may be unpleasant to her. The erogenous zones of such a woman have no sensitivity, active stimulation is inconclusive, the state of excitation does not arise.

Frigidity can be imaginary and true. The latter is a pathology and is rare (only 7% of women all over the world) against the background of innate underdevelopment of sexual sensitivity, infantilism. True frigidity is expressed in the absence of striving for intimacy with a man, the absence of specific sexual reactions during sexual intercourse, and emotional satisfaction. All this manifests itself in a woman, regardless of her will and desire. Meanwhile, a complete lack of interest in sexual intercourse may be accompanied by a desire to please men, flirt with them.

In most cases, frigidity is imaginary, arising for physiological and psychological reasons. In most cases, this disease develops when a combination of several factors - somatic, mental and microsocial. Quite often frigidity arises against the background of psychopathies, endogenous psychoses, accentuations of character (the expression of a character trait is women with excessive indecision, suspicion, modesty, a penchant for fixing on negative emotions).

The following factors can also provoke the development of frigidity:

• alcohol and drug abuse;
• mental trauma, developing against the background of a previously carried out rough defloration, attempted rape;
• pain during sexual intercourse;
• fear of sexual intimacy on the background of fear of "fly" or publicity of communication with a particular partner;
• aversion to a partner of a physical nature;
• excessive emphasis on the lack of orgasm, as well as asthenia (impotence, weakness) of any etiology (increased fatigue, fatigue, exhaustion, weakening or loss of ability for prolonged physical or mental stress of the body);
• emotional detachment at an "inopportune moment";
• depressive, restless states and some other mental disorders.

In the emergence of frigidity, stress of a different nature, excessive fatigue, endocrine disorders, hormonal disorders in the body, intoxications, gynecological diseases are of no small importance.

The development of this disease can also contribute to violations of neurohumoral significance (for example, deep damage to brain structures, androgen deficiency, ovarian dysfunction) and segmental lesions of the nervous system (tumor, traumatic, or other origin), resulting in a violation of sensitivity, loss of characteristic sexual sensations and orgasm.

Not so often, but nevertheless frigidity can be the result of malformations of the genital organs of an innate character, the incompetence of the muscles of the pelvic floor, insufficient blood filling of the venous plexuses, as well as inflammatory diseases that make it difficult to carry out sexual intercourse.

Symptoms and manifestations of frigidity.
Many of us feel frigidity as a lack of orgasm during intimacy. But this is a mistaken opinion, because the female orgasm is individual for each of the fair sex. Frigidity can manifest itself in different ways: in some women coitus causes hostility, but they go for it as a performance of marital duties; in others, sex causes moderately pleasant sensations, the third orgasm can only appear in a dream.

Much more often the woman's lack of orgasm was explained by the partner's ignorance, unable to satisfy her. It used to be that there are no frigid women, but there are inept men. Now the opposite is proved: today there are no frigid women, but there are illiterate, lazy and inexperienced women.

Many women note that in the process of masturbation they get more pleasure than directly during sexual intercourse. According to statistics, among women who masturbated before the onset of sexual activity, frigidity is three times less common than among women who did not. This is due to the emerging experience of experiencing orgasm.

Approximately half of the female population has an extremely sensitive erogenous zone, the clitoris, while the vagina has a low sensitivity. Such women note that they experience orgasm only if the partner also stimulates the area of ​​the clitoris with the fingers.

Solve the problem of lack of sexual satisfaction will help only frank conversations between partners, in which they should talk about the moments of sexual intimacy, which give each of them the greatest pleasure. An important criterion is the lack of restraint and complete ease and looseness. In addition, education is of no small importance. To the sexuality of the girl was formed correctly, in the first three years of life, the mother should give her as much attention and give caress.

The lack of orgasm in a woman's life adversely affects her health. In particular, the mental state, causing irritability, frequent headaches, premature aging. Female frigidity affects the psyche of a man who, against this background, may have psychological problems and urological diseases that help reduce potency.

Diagnosis of frigidity.
The diagnosis of this disease is made only by an experienced sexologist on the basis of a woman's examination. If it is necessary to exclude the presence of physical causes, it may be necessary to consult a gynecologist, an endocrinologist and a psychologist, to identify the hidden causes of the disease.

Treatment of frigidity.
Since this condition is considered a disease, not a congenital defect that can not be corrected, frigidity is required for proper treatment. If there are physical causes of the disease, treatment is aimed at eliminating them.

Treatment of frigidity, which is a consequence of psychological disorders, requires time and desire for women. At the same time, they have a trusting relationship with the doctor, the psychological readiness of the woman to give love to the man and receive them. Often to change the disease, it is enough to change the situation for intimacy, a romantic mood, beautiful music, a joint rest, a beautiful bed and erotic underwear, a joint view of erotic films. In this period it is important that the couple maintains a trusting relationship, patience, love and tenderness for each other. If necessary, treatment of both partners can be prescribed. In complex treatment may include psychological treatment, medical methods, physiotherapy, herbs.

Drugs for the treatment of frigidity are rarely included in therapy. Unfortunately, today there is no Viagra for women. In the treatment of this disease, it is necessary that the woman experienced an orgasm. To bring it to this state, drugs that temporarily increase excitability are used.

To normalize the functioning of the nervous system strychnine is used, or its analogue securinin. Concerning strychnine it is not necessary to be frightened, in small doses it is harmless.

Not so long ago in the treatment of frigidity experts used hormonal drugs. Today, such treatment is used very rarely due to a mass of side effects. In addition, as recent studies show, treatment with hormones is unsuccessful, since this disease often develops with the normal production of estrogens. Only occasionally such a therapy (not a long one) can have a really positive effect.

But the use in the treatment of frigidity of male sex hormones contributes to the emergence and strengthening of sexual desire in women. Probably, their action is directed to the areas of the brain responsible for the stimulation. However, it is necessary to use this medication with caution, without abusing, otherwise it can lead to pathological changes in the external genitalia. In addition, hormones can cause the development of side effects (changes in voice, increased body hair growth, weight gain). At the slightest sign of changes, treatment with hormones is canceled.

If a woman does not enjoy sexual intercourse with a man, she needs to consult with a gynecologist, to fully examine and cure (if any) chronic genital diseases.

In the therapy of frigidity often include physiotherapy, the action of which is aimed at increasing the flow of blood to the genitals. These procedures include irrigation of the external genital organs with medicinal preparations and medicinal solutions, mud procedures, diathermy (heating by high frequency current), sitting baths in sea water. Any physiotherapeutic procedures should be conducted only with the appointment and under the supervision of a doctor. And in the case of changes in the uterus in size, tumors, cysts, myomas, they are generally contraindicated.

In the elimination of this disease is effective therapeutic exercise, which promotes massage of the internal organs of the abdominal cavity and strengthening of the muscles of the pelvic floor. It is also recommended hardening of the body.

When frigidity is also recommended to do foot massage (stroking, kneading, rubbing, vibration). You need to massage the points located on the midline of the foot.

Aromatherapy.
Essential oils are effective in the treatment of both massage and bath. Most suitable are oils of bergamot, sage, pink, geranium, neroli, lavender, lemon mint oil, ylang-ylang. An excellent effect is given by cold wraps with a tissue with aroma oils, improving the body, helping to improve mood and eliminate stress.

Auto-training.
With the help of certain methods of autosuggestion, you can not only improve your mood, but also increase self-esteem, get rid of stress. To do this, you need to completely relax. For example, this scheme of auto-training: "My body is absolutely relaxed." You imagine your own body and begin to mentally enumerate parts of the body and organs, focusing on each: thighs, feet, calves legs, buttocks, hands, arms, stomach, chest, back, shoulders, neck, face, eyes, whiskey, forehead, head. Then imagine yourself lying on the beach, warm sand in the hot sun.

To increase sexual desire, you should include in the diet of common aphrodisiacs ( royal jelly , ginseng, pollen, damian plant), which also contain the hormones necessary for sexual activity and are good antidepressants.

In the body, estrogen production may decrease with insufficient intake of vitamins (especially E) and minerals. In this case, it is necessary to include in your daily diet more foods containing this vitamin. To improve sexual desire, it is useful to eat olive oil, nuts, avocados, eggs, soy, sesame, spring onions, pumpkin seeds, soy. But the poultry meat, red meat, as well as sugar-containing foods should be removed from the diet.

Prevention of frigidity.
As prevention of this disease, it is important to create an environment that will allow partners to be liberated as much as possible. Very often men focus only on sexual intimacy, forgetting the importance of preliminary caresses, which make it possible to prepare the erogenous zones for exposure. Haste and fear of something gradually block the growth of sexual desire.
