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.

Can someone with blocked fallopian tubes menstruate?

Yes, blocked fallopian tubes interfere with the passage of ovum and thus may lessen the chances of pregnancy. Menstruation occurs when one shreds a layer of uterus and blocked fallopian tubes may not interfere with it.

I'm taking primolut N to delay my periods because of a work emergency. My period was originally supposed to start around the 23rd or 24th of September. Today is the 22nd, and I'm on my second day with primolut N, but I'm noticing a light white-pinkish discharge. Is this normal? Should I keep taking primolut N? I really can't afford to get my period right now because it's usually very heavy.

It's normal to experience some spotting or discharge while taking this medication, especially in the initial days, as it can affect the lining of your uterus.If the discharge becomes heavier, or you experience any unusual symptoms like severe abdominal pain or heavy bleeding then consult the doctor

I'm curious if it's normal for someone to feel more sexual or have a stronger urge to watch porn during their period. My sister experiences this, and I'm wondering if there's something behind it hormonally or psychologically. Is this something that you've come across before?

It's not uncommon for some people to experience heightened sexual urges during their periods due to hormonal changes. However, it's important to ensure that she feels comfortable with her desires and makes choices that align with her values and well-being.
