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 really worried because my husband has mentioned that he's not as interested in our intimacy anymore. I think my vagina might have become looser over time. Can you please give me some advice or suggest ways to help me tighten it? I'm looking for something effective, as I want to improve our relationship.

To tighten your vagina, try Kegel exercises (squeeze and release pelvic muscles for 10-15 reps, 3-4 times a day), pelvic floor physical therapy, or vaginal cones; also, consider incorporating estrogen-boosting foods, like soybeans and flaxseeds, into your diet, and maintain a healthy weight; however, it's essential to remember that vaginal looseness is a common issue, especially after childbirth or aging, and open communication with your partner about your concerns and feelings can also help address the emotional aspect of this issue.
