Female sexual dysfunction is often closely related to "gynecological diseases" or "abuse" of certain drugs. According to clinical statistics, the number of women with sexual dysfunction is three times that of men.
So, what are the reasons for early termination and barriers to female sexual activity? On the one hand, it is related to social customs. People are accustomed to thinking that the arrival of menopause is the end of sexual activity. Habit has become the threshold for women. On the other hand, related to the use (abuse) of certain drugs in daily life, drugs are the "culprit" of female frigidity, or rather, some drugs are the culprit of female sexual problems.
Years of research in the medical field have shown that many commonly used drugs can affect their function, leading to low libido and even loss of libido. Affects male erectile and ejaculatory function; For women, it delays and prevents orgasm, leading to infertility.
In recent years, people have discovered and attached great importance to the sexual problems caused by psychotherapeutic drugs such as diazepam, minophenidate, and barbiturate. Antihistamines such as perphenazine and amitriptyline (which can temporarily alleviate anxiety and enhance sexual function), due to their strong sedative effect, often accompanied by a decrease in sexual response and desire, as well as the ability of drugs to cause muscle relaxation and inhibit orgasmic response; Chlorpromazine is an antidepressant that can cause insufficient congestion of vaginal tissue, difficulty in sexual arousal, obstruction or even disappearance of orgasm. Although these inevitable side effects can disappear after discontinuation, discontinuation is often not allowed.
Commonly used antihypertensive drugs, such as spironolactone, clonidine, reserpine, propranolol, etc., can inhibit female sexual arousal; Anticholinergic drugs, such as ibuprofen, inhibit parasympathetic nerves, affect vaginal lubrication, sexual arousal, and sexual dysfunction; Atropine, commonly used in clinical practice, can also inhibit the occurrence of female orgasm.
Given the potential side effects of drugs on women, doctors should strictly control the dosage based on the condition, identify the lowest effective dose, and try to avoid or reduce side effects as much as possible.
