What causes low libido in women? It turns out that a low level of sexual desire in postmenopausal women can be blamed on the quality of their life rather than unhappiness with sexual lives.

A new study looked at 1,189 women who were tested on the relation of health and quality of life. All of the women were in stable relationships and 6.6 percent of those who had gone through natural menopause and 12.5 percent of those who had gone through surgical menopause suffered from HSDD. These women with low sex drive complained about their home life and emotional relationships. They also were more likely to suffer from depression. They also were more likely to suffer from various disorders such as pains, mental health or vitality problems. The research revealed a close link between the quality of life and the low sex drive in postmenopausal women.
