Low libido, often referred to as low sex drive can be a symptom of another medical condition, but can also be a medical condition called hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). A lowered sex drive does not in all cases mean that you're suffering with HSDD. Because many issues can affect one's interest in sex, it's important to take them all into account before deciding there's an identifiable condition that is creating this symptom.

PBS is a condition that results in recurring discomfort in the bladder and the surrounding pelvic region. People may experience mild discomfort, pressure, tenderness or intense pain in the bladder and pelvic area. Symptoms may include an urgency to urinate, a frequent need to urinate or both.

Prolapse refers to when organs fail to hold their healthy, normal position and slide downward projecting into other parts of the body. In the case of pelvic organs, like the uterus, bowel, or bladder, these organs slip down from their normal position and project into the vagina. Mature females or women who have recently had children are more at risk of developing this condition. Symptoms can improve with pelvic floor exercises and lifestyle changes, but sometimes surgery is necessary.

During a normal, healthy menstrual cycle, the endometrial tissue inside the uterus thickens then breaks down — this breakdown of the uterine lining is what causes normal bleeding during menstruation. When this tissue that normally grows inside the uterus actually grows outside the uterus, endometriosis occurs. This tissue still behaves like the endometrium inside the uterus — it still thickens, breaks down and causes bleeding. When this occurs outside the uterus, women may experience pain and even infertility.
