Learn more about Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD).

Overview - HSDD

Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) refers to a woman's chronic or ongoing lack of interest in sex, to the point that it causes her personal distress or problems in her relationships.

Conditions - HSDD

HSDD is a complicated disorder with a number of possible causes. Sometimes, several underlying conditions contribute to HSDD all at once.

Diagnosing HSDD

The main symptom of HSDD is a lack of interest in sex. But because every woman is different, there is no official threshold or diagnostic test that tells whether a woman has HSDD or not.

Treating HSDD

There are many ways to treat HSDD. Just as a combination of factors can cause the disorder, a combination of treatments can be beneficial.

Understanding HSDD

Did you know that hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) affects about 1 in 10 women? It’s the most common of female sexual dysfunctions, but it’s underdiagnosed and undertreated. Many practitioners aren’t sure of how to approach it with their patients.
