If you&#8217;ve looked for answers, you&#8217;ve probably found several clinical terms that sound similar without meaning quite the same thing. FSAD, HSDD, and low libido are often used almost interchangeably online, which can make the subject even more confusing.<\/p>\n<p>This guide explains what FSAD and HSDD mean, how they differ, and what treatment may involve. That way, you&#8217;ll have the language you need to start a conversation with a clinician or one of eDrugstore&#8217;s telehealth providers.<\/p>\n<h2>FSAD vs. HSDD: What&#8217;s the Difference?<\/h2>\n<p>FSAD and HSDD describe two different but often related problems. FSAD concerns the body&#8217;s response to sexual stimulation, while HSDD concerns sexual interest or desire.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-Pw3pz\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/Pw3pz\/1\/\" height=\"397\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Table\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">(function(){function e(){window.addEventListener(`message`,function(e){if(e.data[`datawrapper-height`]!==void 0){var t=document.querySelectorAll(`iframe`);for(var n in e.data[`datawrapper-height`])for(var r=0,i;i=t[r];r++)if(i.contentWindow===e.source){var a=e.data[`datawrapper-height`][n]+`px`;i.style.height=a}}})}e()})();<\/script><\/p>\n<h3>What Is Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD)?<\/h3>\n<p>Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD) means having ongoing difficulty becoming or staying physically aroused, even when you want sexual activity. You may notice less lubrication, reduced genital sensitivity, or little physical response to stimulation.<\/p>\n<h3>What Is Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD)?<\/h3>\n<p>Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) means having little or no interest in sex, sexual thoughts, or fantasies and feeling personally distressed by that change. The body may still respond normally once sexual activity begins.<\/p>\n<p>The conditions often overlap. That is why the DSM-5 combined desire and arousal problems into a diagnosis called Female Sexual Interest\/Arousal Disorder (FSIAD) in 2013. You may still see FSAD and HSDD used separately because each term helps a clinician identify which symptom is more prominent and choose an appropriate care plan.<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to decide which label fits before asking for help.<\/p>\n<h2>What Causes Low Libido in Women?<\/h2>\n<p>Low libido usually has more than one cause. A clinician may look at several possible contributors:<\/p>\n<h3>Stress and Mood<\/h3>\n<p>Ongoing stress, anxiety, and depression can all reduce sexual interest. Hormonal changes may play a role, but so can the sheer mental load of daily life.<\/p>\n<h3>Fatigue<\/h3>\n<p>Poor sleep and exhaustion can leave little energy for sexual desire, especially when work or caregiving already takes most of it.<\/p>\n<h3>Medication Side Effects<\/h3>\n<p>Some antidepressants, hormonal birth control, and blood pressure medications can reduce desire or make arousal more difficult.<\/p>\n<h3>Relationship Strain<\/h3>\n<p>Poor communication, unresolved conflict, or feeling disconnected from a partner can reduce desire. Pain, vaginal dryness, or other discomfort during sex can also create an association between intimacy and pain, which may reduce desire over time. Because these factors often overlap, a good evaluation looks at the full picture.<\/p>\n<h2>How Do Doctors Diagnose FSAD and HSDD?<\/h2>\n<p>A typical evaluation begins with a conversation, not a test. The clinician will ask when the change began, how it has developed, and how much distress it is causing you or your relationship. They&#8217;ll also review your health history, prescriptions, and supplements because all of these can affect desire and arousal.<\/p>\n<h3>Contributing Factors<\/h3>\n<p>The clinician may also ask about stress, mood changes, relationship concerns, pain during sex, and other physical symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>If this feels awkward to discuss, remember that clinicians hear about low libido often. You don&#8217;t need to wait until it feels unbearable before asking for help.<\/p>\n<h2>Low Libido Treatment Options<\/h2>\n<p>Treatment depends on what is contributing to low desire or arousal. A clinician may recommend one approach or combine several.<\/p>\n<h3>Lifestyle and Relationship Support<\/h3>\n<p>Better sleep, less stress, and more open communication with a partner may help when those issues are affecting desire. Sex therapy or counseling can also address emotional or relationship concerns, often alongside other treatments.<\/p>\n<h3>Prescription Medications<\/h3>\n<p>Prescription medication may be an option if you meet the eligibility requirements.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-L4d9D\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/L4d9D\/1\/\" height=\"397\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Table\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">(function(){function e(){window.addEventListener(`message`,function(e){if(e.data[`datawrapper-height`]!==void 0){var t=document.querySelectorAll(`iframe`);for(var n in e.data[`datawrapper-height`])for(var r=0,i;i=t[r];r++)if(i.contentWindow===e.source){var a=e.data[`datawrapper-height`][n]+`px`;i.style.height=a}}})}e()})();<\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Addyi (flibanserin)<\/strong> is FDA-approved for women under 65 with HSDD, whether or not they have gone through menopause.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vyleesi (bremelanotide)<\/strong> is approved for premenopausal women with acquired, generalized HSDD.

A clinician also considers age, health, medications, circumstances, and relationship factors.<\/p>\n<h3>Can HSDD be situational?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. HSDD may be generalized across situations and partners or limited to particular circumstances. Identifying whether symptoms are generalized or situational can help a clinician understand possible causes and recommend treatment.<\/p>\n<h3>Can menopause cause sexual desire or arousal problems?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can reduce desire, lubrication, and comfort. Sleep problems, medications, health conditions, and relationship factors may contribute at the same time.<\/p>\n<h3>What kind of doctor treats FSAD or HSDD?<\/h3>\n<p>A gynecologist or primary care clinician is a good place to start. Treatment may also involve a menopause specialist, pelvic-floor therapist, mental health professional, or certified sex therapist.<\/p>\n<h3>Is FSAD the same as persistent genital arousal disorder?<\/h3>\n<p>No. FSAD involves difficulty becoming or staying aroused when arousal is wanted. Persistent genital arousal disorder causes unwanted genital sensations that may occur without desire and may not resolve after orgasm.<a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/23998-persistent-genital-arousal-disorder\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference between Addyi and Vyleesi?<\/h3>\n<p>Addyi is a daily oral medication approved for women under 65 with acquired, generalized HSDD. Vyleesi is an as-needed injection approved only for premenopausal women with acquired, generalized HSDD.<\/p>\n<h3>Can low sexual desire improve without medication?<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes. Desire may improve when a temporary cause such as stress, illness, pain, fatigue, or a medication side effect resolves. Persistent symptoms that cause distress deserve evaluation because treatment depends on the cause.<\/p>\n<h3>Can HSDD affect orgasm?<\/h3>\n<p>HSDD primarily affects sexual desire, while orgasmic disorder involves difficulty reaching orgasm. They can occur together, but one does not automatically cause the other. A clinician should evaluate both concerns separately.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Disclaimer: This article provides general information about health and related topics but is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
