My libido is diminishing. Orgasms are hard to reach & not intense when I do. I'm 40, female, no outside issues, happy etc. Dont want to go to GP at mo as hoping will pass?? Others experiences welcome.

    New account.
    Seems like span.
    There are a million places that are more in tune with this kind of stuff and can provide you answers.
    A search on the interwebz might take you to these places.
    You even have web doctors.
    Give it a go.

    How happy are you in your relationship? Do you have any doubts or worries that may be the real reason for the loss of libido? Stress, anxiety and exhaustion can be all-consuming and have a major impact on your happiness. If you feel you’re constantly tired, stressed or anxious, you may need to make some lifestyle changes. Low libido can also be caused by an underactive thyroid. Common signs of this condition are tiredness, weight gain and feeling depressed. I would recommend speaking to your GP for advice.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    Is low libido such a problem anyway? Get a kindle.
