Suggest Treatment For Low Libido

default
Posted on Fri, 9 Jun 2017
Question: Dear Madam,

I and my wife (28) had sex occasionally as I live away from her and enjoyed it very well, but since 6 to 8 months, she is not showing interest on sex. If I request her, she will agree but she dont have feelings on it..

While having it, very quickly within 30 seconds she tells me to stop it, even before I ejaculate.. And telling me to give any medicine for more XXXXXXX and to be participated with more interest and feelings, and telling me sorry for not co-operating and she wants enjoy but unable to enjoy. Sometimes she will fight that she dont have feelings on.. This is a quite opposite behavior than the earlier. Several times in past she was called to have a sex, and enjoyed wildly.

So, am asking you is there any medicine to increase her feelings and interest? If yes, let me know, dosage, side effects and other particulars of it. We have 2 children and not willing to pregnant.

And want to know what is the reason for lack of feelings.

Thanks/Regards

Brief Answer:
No specific medicine is available.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.

Having a very low sex drive and libido at her age is not expected but it is a common occurrence in the case of women. It can be due to the psychological makeup of a female or may have some organic causes behind it like-

1. Anemia- common in women because of iron loss during periods.
2. Major diseases such as diabetes.
3. Post-baby 'coolness'- postpartum loss of libido.
4. Prescribed drugs, particularly antidepressants and tranquillisers.
5. Hyperprolactinemia - a rare disorder in which the pituitary gland is overactive. Can happen due to breastfeeding.

6. Other hormone abnormalities- decreased LH and androgenic hormones in the body.

You need to rule out all the organic causes behind the loss of libido with the help of her gynecologist.

If no organic causes are found then psychological causes like -depression, stress, and overwork, anxiety, hang-ups from childhood, relationship problems with your partner, difficult living conditions, eg sharing a home with parents or parents-in-law, etc.

Another cause is hormonal changes occurring in the body after childbirth and fatigue because of rearing of the child.

The monotonous routine & daily burdens of life tend to decrease one’s sexual desire. Changes in the hormone levels can also cause anorgasmia(lack of orgasm). Many women are so busy taking care of everyone else in their life, they do not enjoy simple pleasures. This can show up in the bedroom. Short periods of lack of orgasm does not mean anything serious and kindly give more time for things to settle.

A psychotherapist can help her in this regard. There is no specific medicine to increase the libido in females.

Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow-up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.

Regards.
