Abuja - Irregular libido by both men and women has been traced to either psychological or psychiatric trauma that a person is going through.
Dr Abiodun Awolusi, Principal Medical Officer, National Hospital Abuja, made the disclosure in an interview in Abuja on Friday.
The Wikipedia Online dictionary describes libido as a person’s sex drive or desire for sexual activity. The desire for sex is an aspect of a person’s sexuality, but varies enormously from one person to another and it also varies depending on circumstances at a particular time.
A person who has extremely frequent or a suddenly increased sex drive may be experiencing hypersexuality. Sex drive has usually biological, psychological and social components.
Awolusi listed some psychological trauma that could be experienced by the sufferer to include depression, stress, pain, rape among others.
He noted that anyone who had experienced some of the traumas could suffer low libido but most people who had been victims of rape, especially at an early age could suffer high libido.
He listed psychiatric cases that had to do with libido as polar disorder, mental disorder, cognitive and perceptual abnormalities, which can affect sexual performance.
“A woman that is abused at childhood can end up having high libido, because she may not want to settle down for marriage with any man, and eventually going about having sex with different men.
“And there are other medical conditions that cause high libido such as hyper-adrenalins which is the adrenal gland that is secreting too much of hormone and when pancreas secret too much of hormone it can lead to high libido in women, “ he said.
Awolusi explained that when a woman was stressed up, the urge to have sex would be reduce, adding that high libido could be seen among women with high progesterone.
“Women who have just given birth or breast feeding tend to have low libido, ‘’he said.
According to Awolusi, if a girl is abused sexually, she may not have confidence in men again, and will want to mess around not settling down to marry, thereby making her to have an increased libido.
He stated that a man that masturbates often would have high libido, noting that the environment a person grew up could contribute to sexual arousal.
“If you stay in a place where you have prostitutes, it may increase your urge for sex and by the time you do it every day you will not want to stop it. ’’
Awolusi advised people, experiencing psychiatric trauma to seek medical attention and counselling, adding that the cause of the problem could be identified when help was sought. (NAN).
