This does not mean that quarrels or conflicts are excluded in the pair, however, small scrapes can not in this case not become the cause of disorders in sexual life.
Many women at some point in their lives feel that they do not get joy and satisfaction from sex. Among the reasons that are voiced by ladies, the main are the following:
Inability to receive orgasm

Low libido
Some women feel a loss of interest in intimate life. The cause of low libido may be depression, stress or other emotional factors that interfere with relaxation and lead to loss of sexual appetite. For physiological reasons, menopause, diseases of the cardiovascular system, urinary tract infections, pregnancy, breast-feeding, and the use of certain medications (antidepressants or contraceptives) are included.
Painful sensations
Sex should bring pleasure, but not pain. There are many diseases that interfere with enjoying intimate relationships. One of them is vaginismus, in which involuntary muscular spasms of the vagina make it difficult or impossible to insert the penis. Also, the cause of discomfort and pain can be vaginal infection, thinning and dryness of the vaginal pads.
Possible medical problems
In some cases, sexual dysfunction may be due to pelvic injury or surgery (surgery on the uterus or caesarean section), insufficient blood flow to the genitals, problems with the production of the hormone estrogen and testosterone. Violations can also be caused by weak vaginal muscles, which can be strengthened with Kegel's exercise complex.
Vaginal surgery may be the last step in eliminating problems in sex, but surgery should be resorted to only as a last resort, because it is possible that during the operation the nerve endings will be affected, which will negatively affect a woman's sexual life.
