Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) in Women
Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) is the most common form of female sexual dysfunction, characterized by a persistent lack of sexual desire or interest that causes personal distress or difficulties in relationships. HSDD can affect women at any stage of life, including premenopausal, postpartum, and postmenopausal years.
At Jindal Hospital & Fertility Centre, we recognize that sexual health is a vital component of overall well-being. Under the guidance of Dr. Sunil Jindal and Dr. Anshu Jindal, we provide holistic evaluation and personalized treatments to restore intimacy, confidence, and quality of life for women experiencing HSDD.

- Reduced or absent desire to initiate sexual activity
- Avoidance of sexual intimacy with a partner
- Distress or frustration due to lack of desire
- Negative impact on relationships or self-esteem
