Suggest Remedy For Loss Of Libido
Question: I have low libido since I gave birth and I no longer get wet during sexual intercourse. I have had my hormone checked and in normal ranges, what can I do, or who can see for help
Brief Answer:
Due to increased prolactin levels.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
After a childbirth the decrease in libido can be due to increased prolactin levels in the body due to breast feeding.
Regarding the treatment of lack of libido, follow these treatment options:
1) Eat a healthy, nutritious diet and indulge in yoga and meditation.
2) Pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises) can improve your awareness of the muscles involved in pleasurable sexual sensations and increase your libido.
3) Estrogen therapy as pill, patch or gel, vaginal cream or a slow-releasing suppository or ring that you place in your vagina can increase blood flow to the vagina and help improve desire. But they are available under prescription of a gynecologist.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
