Low sexual desire, also known as hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), is a common issue that affects many women.

It is characterized by a lack of interest or desire for sexual activity, which can be distressing for the individual and their partner.

Some common signs and symptoms of low sexual desire include:

Low sexual desire can have a significant impact on various aspects of a person's life, including their personal relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being.
