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

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

My mother is 51 years old and her scan report shows her uterus is bulky, measuring 13.1 x 8.0 x 7.7 cm. There are multiple fibroids in the posterior wall, with the largest one being 4.6 x 4.4 cm. She also has kidney stones and high blood pressure. Does she need surgery for the fibroids given her other health issues?

Accepted Answer

It's difficult to provide a definitive answer without a full medical evaluation and discussion with her doctor. However, in general, a 51-year-old woman with a bulky uterus (13.1 x 8.0 x 7.7 cm) and multiple fibroids, including one measuring 4.6 x 4.4 cm, may not need surgery for the fibroids if the symptoms are mild and manageable, and if her other health issues (kidney stones and high blood pressure) are well-controlled. However, if she experiences significant symptoms, such as heavy bleeding, pain, or pressure, or if the fibroids are causing complications with her other health issues, then surgery, such as a myomectomy or hysterectomy, might be considered
