WHAT IS IT?
Over a woman’s life she may notice that, compared to previous sexual encounters, she is having less pleasure than she once had. This can be expressed by:
  • decreased strength of orgasm
  • anorgasmia (difficulty or inability to achieve orgasm).
  • decreased sensation during sexual intercourse
WHAT CAUSES IT?
There are many possible causes for decreased sexual pleasure in women:
  • Changes in hormones:
    • Decreased levels of estrogen during menopause or overall low levels of testosterone can contribute to low libido and decreased sensation.
  • Dyspareunia
  • Decreased tone and contractility of the pelvic floor muscles:
    • Decrease tone can lead to decreased friction during sexual relations. The appropriate amount of friction is what can build into a pleasurable experience. Furthermore, an orgasm is comprised of repetitive contractions of the pelvic floor which is perceived as pleasurable. If the contractions are not as strong, your orgasm might not be as powerful. Many things can affect the strength and tone of your pelvic floor including childbirth, abdominal or pelvic surgeries, back pain, the natural aging process, and many more.
  • Certain medications can decrease libido.
  • Lifestyle habits such as drinking alcohol and smoking can affect blood flow to your intimate areas and decrease ability to achieve orgasm.
HOW CAN PHYSIO HELP?
Your pelvic floor physiotherapist will assess your situation globally, and determine whether they may be able to help you. Where they are most effective, is in teaching you how to address any dysfunctions in the pelvic floor muscles. Through a program of specific exercises, manual techniques and education regarding your lifestyle habits and postures.

In all other situations, your pelvic floor physiotherapist will be able to refer you to the appropriate professional to best help you.
