Fact #1
HSDD has been medically recognized as a condition for decades and is the most common form of female dysfunction.
Fact #2
Sexual response is complex for both men and women.
Fact #3
Studies show that low sexual desire affects millions of women in the US and 1 in 10 women are distressed by it, which means they are experiencing HSDD.
Fact #4
Lack of sexual desire can have a biological basis. Brain scan studies show markedly less activity in areas of the brain that are important in sexual response for women who suffer from HSDD.
