From a man's standpoint, you bring up an interesting paradox. I think you are certainly right in saying that once a woman has lost her libido, getting it back just may not seem that important. Obviously if she has a partner who still feels inclined to be sexually active, that may create a big imbalance in the relationship.
Is it right to medicalize what may be a natural decrease in or loss of interest altogether in sex? How does a woman convince herself that she "should" be wanting sex? Are women generally willing to attempt some sort of "therapy" to increase their interest? Of course, all this must vary greatly from person to person.
These are very complex issues and surely drive a lot of couple further and further apart.
