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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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 I had sex a couple of weeks ago and now I'm experiencing these sharp abdominal pains. Could this be related? Should I be concerned or do something specific about it?
Sharp abdominal pain after sex could be due to various reasons such as pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, or even a urinary tract infection. I would recommend taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen and scheduling an appointment with your gynecologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can also try using a heating pad on your abdomen for relief.
