Hi doctor,

I am a 23-year-old female with low sexual urge and am unable to satisfy my partner. I am suffering from a lot of stress. I am not taking any medications currently. My height is 5 feet 6 inches, and my weight is 158 pounds.

Please advise.

Answered by Dr. Ali Torifi Nejad

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com

Thank you very much for sharing the details of your concern. I completely understand that low sexual desire and difficulty in satisfying your partner can cause stress and discomfort. It is understandable that you have not started any medication yet, but with proper assessment and a step-by-step approach, your situation can improve.

You did the right thing by asking and sharing your information. From your description, your main issue is low sexual desire and the stress associated with it.

You are 23 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall, and weigh 158 pounds. No specific history of medications or chronic illnesses has been mentioned. This information helps us better understand your condition and plan the next steps.

Possible causes for your condition include:

  • Stress, anxiety, or psychological pressure.

  • Hormonal changes or imbalances.

  • Lifestyle factors such as inadequate sleep, poor nutrition, or low physical activity.

To better understand your condition, it is recommended to:

  1. Perform hormonal tests, including estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones

  2. Review your medical history and any previous laboratory reports.

  3. Keep a record of symptoms and triggers to identify patterns.

The differential diagnoses to consider include hormonal disorders, psychological issues, chronic stress, and some rare medical conditions.

The final diagnosis requires an in-person examination and test results.

For now, I recommend:

  1. Maintaining regular sleep and meal schedules.

  2. Managing stress through relaxation techniques, deep breathing, or meditation.

  3. Regular physical activity and a healthy lifestyle.

  4. Recording symptoms and triggers to identify patterns.

  5. Avoid starting or changing any medication without professional supervision.

For prevention and long-term well-being:

  • Stay physically active and hydrated.

  • Follow a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.

  • Schedule regular health check-ups and monitor for any new symptoms.

Please keep me updated if your symptoms change or if you receive new reports, so I can review them. Many patients improve with consistent care and attention, so stay positive and give yourself time.

I hope this answers your query.

Thank you.
