Abstract

Introduction

In my daily clinical practice, I have been confronted with some situations regarding the sexuality of lesbian patients, especially low libido, and this is a subject that I want to share with you in this editorial. To write this article, I will use the thoughts used by Hippocrates (c. 460 bce - c. 375 bce), the father of medicine, that said that “foolish the doctor who despises the knowledge acquired by the ancients”. For this reason, I will use the reasoning used by traditional Chinese medicine, that exists for more than 5000 years, to explain the energy alterations found in lesbian patients with low libido.

According to the study written by Finley (2017) entitled Lifestyle Choices Can Augment Female Sexual Well-Being, there are many causes of low libido that can be emotional, physical, psychological, cultural, or some relationship problems with her partner.

According to some studies, low libido can decrease due to some clinical conditions such as fatigue, anxiety, and some mental disorders. Generally, it decreases with age and it is a symptom of hypogonadism. The treatment of low libido is often refractory and this is caused by the lack of knowledge about the determinants of libido in women.
