I'm really worried because I've been experiencing reduced sexual arousal for about 34 months now. Also, I've been taking medication for PCOD for the past 6 months, and my periods never come on their own anymoreI have to rely on that medication. Lately, I've also been dealing with vaginal dryness during intercourse, along with severe hair loss and persistent weakness. What could be causing all these issues?

It sounds like youre experiencing a combination of symptoms, including reduced sexual arousal, vaginal dryness, hair loss, and weakness, which could be related to your PCOD and the medications you're taking. Hormonal imbalances in PCOD can affect sexual function and cause dryness. It's important to discuss these symptoms with your doctor, who may adjust your treatment plan or explore additional solutions to manage these issues.

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and experienced spotting during my 4th month. My doctor had me on HCG injections, but now she's saying I don't need them anymore. Is it okay to just stop the injections like that, or could it mess with my hormones?

-VIt's generally safe to stop the HCG injection if your doctor advises it, as the body can maintain pregnancy on its own. However, it's always good to follow your doctor's advice closely to avoid any hormonal imbalances.
