Treatment of frigidity is the restoration of sexual functions in women. Let's look at the most popular and effective ways to treat frigidity using folk remedies, medications and other methods.

Frigidity is a sexual dysfunction that leads to a decrease in libido, sexual desire, sexual sensations and orgasm in women, i.e. sexual coldness. Sometimes frigidity leads to complete indifference and disgust to sexual intimacy. In a woman with frigidity, sexual intercourse does not cause positive emotions, but on the contrary, a feeling of discomfort and disgust. Frigidity can be true and imaginary.

  • True sexual coldness - is extremely rare, only 5-7% of women. The pathology develops against the background of congenital complications in infantilism and sexual sensitivity. This type of disease is complete sexual indifference and sexual aversion. But despite this, the woman flirts with men and wants to please them.
  • False frigidity occurs against the background of psychological and physiological problems. The disease develops due to a combination of microsocial, somatic and mental factors. Sexual frigidity can occur against the background of endogenous psychoses, psychopathies.

Frequently, frigidity is provoked by stress, fatigue, hormonal imbalances, gynecological and endocrine disorders. Let's consider the main factors that provoke the development of frigidity:

  1. Psychological trauma and pain during sexual intercourse (rape, early and unsuccessful sexual experience, etc.).
  2. Alcohol abuse and other bad habits that have a negative impact on the nervous system and psyche.
  3. Physical disgust towards a sexual partner, fear of publicity about a sexual relationship or an unplanned pregnancy.
  4. Emotional detachment during intercourse, depression, anxiety, focusing on orgasm and its absence.

The development of frigidity causes neurohumoral disorders, i.e. damage to brain structures, ovarian dysfunction and damage to the nervous system. This aggravates the disturbance of sensitivity, sexual sensations and orgasm. Sexual frigidity can be both temporary and permanent. The disease has several forms, let's consider them in more detail.

  • Retardation

At this stage, frigidity is temporary, which is associated with retardation, that is, delayed sexual desire. Each woman has individual abilities to experience orgasm.

  • Symptomatic

This stage is characterized by the fact that frigidity manifests itself as a symptom of the underlying disease. When the disease is eliminated and treated, the symptoms of sexual frigidity disappear.

  • Psychogenic

The disease is caused by inhibition of sexual functions due to certain psychological factors. This may be aversion to a sexual partner, resentment, sexual immaturity, depression and many other reasons. Constant experiences of a psychotraumatic nature at the initial stages delay sexual desire, and subsequently lead to frigidity.

  • Constitutional

Frigidity is caused by congenital insufficiency of psychosexual functions. There are people who have no musical ear from birth, and there are women with congenital frigidity. Such patients can be absolutely healthy, lead a healthy lifestyle, have normal sex glands, well-developed sexual characteristics and the ability to have children. With this form of frigidity, a woman can seek medical help only if she wants to experience sexual satisfaction and orgasm.

Each form of frigidity requires careful diagnostics and medical observation. Despite sexual coldness, frigid women can be excellent mothers and provide family happiness to their loved one and relatives. All this is confirmed by numerous observations.
