Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is among the disorders affecting the quality of life among women. One of the common types of FSD is hyposexuality and impairs orgasm and sexual desires among women. This article aimed to investigate how hormones trigger hypoactive sexual desire disorders (HSDD) and the most effective management and treatment approaches. AlAwlaqi, Amor, argued that low sexual desire is a condition that affects women of all ages. Of all the FSD conditions, HSDD is the most prevalent and develops when the desire for sex is assumed to be ordinary. Research studies indicate that low libido is a common phenomenon in about 40% of women in their menopause.
The authors argue that sexuality is essential for women of all ages, but a lack of satisfying sex life harms their overall quality of life. The development of HSDD is influenced by inadequate testosterone production, which is responsible for stimulating sexual desires and behavior. The authors of this paper state that there is no available clinical intervention to manage hyposexuality. This article was helpful in understanding how hormones trigger HSDD. It may be useful in my final research paper as it
supports my argument that hormones have an impact on one’s sexuality.

bloodstreams to influence behavioral, physiological, and physical changes. Hormones are responsible for regulating various functions in the body, including growth and development, metabolism, and sexual functions. Butnariu and Sarac 2019 argued that every emotion triggers hormones production, which eventually influences certain behaviors.

The article concludes that hormones play a critical role in the human body as it regulates sleep influences growth and development, and works to enhance our mental
state. Therefpore, this article was useful for doing this research paper. It will be used in the final paper to discuss in depth how certain hormones influence feelings. Hence Annotated Bibliography
