Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER. Here is a list of some of the causes for a woman to experience low sex drive.

Physical causes
A wide range of illnesses, physical changes and medications can cause a low sex drive, including:

• Sexual problems. If you experience pain during sex or an inability to orgasm, it can hamper your desire for sex.
• Medical diseases. Numerous nonsexual diseases can also affect desire for sex, including arthritis, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary artery disease and neurological diseases.
• Medications. Many prescription medications — including some antidepressants and anti-seizure medications — are notorious libido killers.
• Alcohol and drugs. A glass of wine may make you feel amorous, but too much alcohol can spoil your sex drive; the same is true of street drugs.
• Surgery. Any surgery related to your breasts or your genital tract can affect your body image, sexual function and desire for sex.
• Fatigue. The exhaustion of caring for aging parents or young children can contribute to low sex drive.

It's still important you see a doctor and explain what you are experiencing.  He will have to check your hormones levels through bloodwork.
