How is a woman's sexual health affected by hormonal imbalances?

Hormones play a pivotal role in maintaining the health and well being of a woman. It is very common that often women blame their hormonal changes as the main reason of their baseless bad mood. Every month, the body initiates the release of sexual hormones estrogen and progesterone in a woman’s body. At the time of hormonal fluctuations, the levels of two essential hormones found in female’s body get un-balanced.

This has a dramatic effect on your sexual desires, ovulation and fertility. The circumstances known so far to cause such imbalances are stress, mental turbulence, menopause, periods and much more. At this condition, the gland responsible for the release of these two hormones hampers the functioning of hypothalamus. This in turn affects the normal course of pituitary gland which majorly impacts the conditions of the organs comprising in the female’s reproductive system- ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes. It is known that the low levels of progesterone plays a major impact on the sexual cravings of a woman. Women, who nearly face a declined sexual health, can blame it on the alleviated levels of the both estrogen and progesterone. 

According to doctors, testosterone is yet another hormone that determines the sexual health of women. The level of this hormone decreases with the progression of old age.
