Female Sexual Arousal Disorder involves a persistent difficulty with physical responses like lubrication, swelling, or sensitivity during sexual activity. Unlike a lack of interest, FSAD occurs even when a woman has a mental desire for intimacy and feels sexually motivated. This disconnect between mind and body can lead to physical discomfort and emotional frustration for both partners. It is often linked to hormonal changes, vascular issues, or the side effects of certain medications. Identifying these symptoms allows for targeted treatments that help restore the body’s natural response to arousal.
Yes. Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD) specifically refers to the body’s physical response—such as lubrication and blood flow—not a lack of mental desire. A woman may deeply want to be intimate, but physical or hormonal factors might prevent her body from “keeping up” with her mind.
