Lack of Sexual Arousal

Lack of arousal refers to a persistent difficulty in feeling or maintaining the desire and physical response characteristic of sexual arousal, a situation that can be experienced with distress and affect well-being and relationships.

Common causes: A wide variety of factors are involved: stress, anxiety, hormonal changes, certain conditions, the use of some medications, or difficulties in the relationship with a partner.

Which specialist treats it? The sexologist addresses this type of concern with a comprehensive approach; the general practitioner can guide the first step, and psychological support helps when there is an emotional component.

When to seek support? If the lack of arousal becomes frequent and causes distress, discussing it with a professional allows you to understand its origin without judgment and find the appropriate support.
