A lack of sexual desire is clinically known as Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD). There are two FDA-approved medications for premenopausal women: Flibanserin (Addyi), a daily oral tablet, and Bremelanotide (Vyleesi), an injection used as needed before sexual activity. If she is postmenopausal, hormone therapies like estrogen or off-label low-dose testosterone are sometimes prescribed. Because low libido can stem from complex physical, psychological, hormonal, or relationship factors, it is essential that she consults her gynaecologist. A doctor can help identify the root cause, discuss potential side effects, and safely guide her treatment.
