Hi there.

Do you experience any pain or discomfort while having sex ?

Any burning sensation on passing urine ?

Are you stressed a lot lately ?

Do you sleep well at night ?

There could be many causes for decreased interest in sex. Most commonly stress, infections, pain on intercourse or vaginismus are known.

If you are in a stressful lifestyle, kindly refrain from overworking, reduce long work hours. Perform Yoga for stress relief. Eat a balanced diet. Keep well hydrated. Avoid junk food, fatty and oily food as well as sweet food like pastries and cakes as these can dampen your energy levels and make you fatigued and disinterested generally. Sometimes mood disorders like depressive illness can also take a toll on sex life. Also if you have any issues with your husband, it would be best to talk it out and have a healthy discussion and then things may start lightening up.

It would be best to consult a Psychiatrist with your Husband so that the root problem can be found out and targetted intervention performed. Depressive illness, mood disorders may remain un-diagnosed an can be a reason for lack of interest in previously pleasurable activities, a symptom called anhedonia. Do make the effort to help yourself and your love life.

Wishing good health and happy sex life.

Regards,
