Sexual Dysfunction in Women: Why It’s More Than “In Your Head”
And What You Can Do to Feel Like Yourself Again
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, struggled to enjoy intimacy, or wondered “what’s wrong with me?”—you’re not alone.
Sexual dysfunction in women is far more common than people realize, yet it’s often misunderstood, dismissed, or never discussed at all. At Revique, we want you to know: what you’re experiencing is real, valid, and treatable.
Let’s break the silence and start the conversation.
What is Sexual Dysfunction?
Sexual dysfunction is an umbrella term that includes a range of concerns, including:
— Low libido or lack of desire
— Difficulty becoming aroused
— Painful intercourse (dyspareunia)
— Inability to achieve orgasm
Decreased sensation or pleasure
Up to 43% of women report some form of sexual dysfunction, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)—yet many never seek help because they’re embarrassed, brushed off, or think it’s “just part of aging.”
What causes Sexual Dysfunction?
Women’s sexual function is deeply interconnected with hormones, emotions, relationships, and physical health. That’s why treating it requires a whole-body, whole-person approach.
Common causes include:
Hormonal imbalances, especially low estrogen or testosterone
Menopause or perimenopause
Postpartum changes or pelvic trauma
Stress, anxiety, or trauma history
Poor vaginal tissue health or dryness
Medications like SSRIs or birth control
Chronic illnesses (e.g., diabetes, thyroid disorders)
Relationship strain or self-esteem issues
Many women don’t know that declining androgens (including testosterone) play a huge role in arousal and sexual satisfaction. Hormone testing can reveal imbalances that affect everything from libido to lubrication.
Why you’re not getting answers
Sexual health is still a taboo topic in many traditional medical settings. Providers may lack training in female sexual medicine or be uncomfortable addressing it. You may have heard:
“Just relax, it’s psychological.”
“That’s normal for your age.”
“It’s probably just stress.”
“Try wine or lube.”
But these one-size-fits-all answers miss the mark. You deserve a safe space to discuss what’s happening—and a plan that looks at everything that might be affecting your intimacy.

At Revique, we approach sexual dysfunction through the lens of functional and regenerative medicine, using a concierge model that gives us time to dig deeper, test thoroughly, and treat with intention.

Optional aesthetic treatments to restore tissue function and confidence
