Question 1

I'm a 26-year-old woman with a 10-month-old daughter, and I've noticed something that's been bothering me. About a year and a half ago, my sexual desire started to gradually fade, and now it feels like it has completely disappeared. My husband and I can go months without being intimate, and honestly, it doesnt really bother me. When we do have intimate moments, its more out of obligation because I feel guilty about making him wait so long. I'm worried about why this is happening and wondering if there's something I should be doing to bring back my desire. Could there be an underlying issue I need to address?

Accepted Answer

You're experiencing hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), characterized by persistent low libido. Common causes include:

Physical Factors

1. Hormonal imbalances (estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone)
2. Sleep disturbances
3. Stress and anxiety
4. Postpartum changes
5. Medications (antidepressants, birth control)

Emotional and Psychological Factors

1. Relationship issues (communication, intimacy, or trust)
2. Depression or anxiety
3. Low self-esteem
4. Trauma or past experiences
5. Life transitions (marriage, parenthood)

Next Steps

1. Consult a healthcare provider or therapist to rule out underlying medical conditions.
2. Explore couples therapy to address relationship dynamics.
3. Consider sex therapy to address intimacy and desire.
4. Discuss hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or other treatment options with your healthcare provider.

Question 2

I've been experiencing a white, skin-like discharge mixed with a curd-like substance from my private area. There's no itching, smell, or pain involved. I'm a bit concerned and unsure of what's happening. I'm currently using an over-the-counter yeast infection treatment, but I'm not sure if it's the right approach. Could you please give me some guidance on what this might be and if I'm doing the right thing?

Accepted Answer

That's Candidiasis, visit Gynaecologist for appropriate management

Question 3

I took some medical pills for an abortion when I was about 5 weeks pregnant. My doctor prescribed me one tablet of mifepristone and two misoprostol tablets, but instead of letting them dissolve under my tongue, I ended up swallowing them with water. Now I've gotten my period, but I'm worried. Is there a chance I could still be pregnant?
