The problems that can keep a woman from experiencing satisfaction during sexual activity are

· Lack of sexual desire

· Inability to become aroused

· Lack of orgasm, or sexual climax

· Painful intercourse

Various causes that keep a female from experiencing satisfaction during sexual activity are

Surgery

Changes in sexual functions after a hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus) is not very uncommon. Changes like loss of desire, decreased vaginal lubrication and genital sensation may occur. Loss of the uterus results in hormonal changes and thus these problems occur. This can also be because nerves critical to sexual function can be damaged during the hysterectomy procedure.

Menopause

Loss of estrogen, which leads to menopause, can lead to changes in a woman’s sexual functioning. Emotional changes that often accompany menopause can add to a woman’s loss of interest in sex or in her ability to become aroused. However, some post-menopausal women report an increase in sexual satisfaction. This may be due to decreased anxiety over getting pregnant.

Ailments / Medications

These conditions include diabetes, heart disease, neurological diseases, hormonal imbalances, kidney disease, and liver failure. In addition, the side effects of certain medications, including some antidepressant drugs, can affect sexual desire and function.

Psychological factors

Stress, anxiety, concern about sexual performance, relationship problems, depression, feelings of guilt, effects of a past sexual trauma, depression, pregnancy and fatigue are some of the psychological factors which leads to sexual problems. Regular sexual routines may also contribute to a lack of enthusiasm for sex.

Infections

This is another factor, which can lead to diminished sexual desire. Chronic bladder infection, vaginal or cervical infections can make sexual intercourse less desirable.
