Can heavy and irregular periods cause low sexual desire?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I do not feel anything when I have sex, even when I kiss or am touched by someone. It is as if I have no feelings. I have never felt how others feel when they have sex with their partners. I am a 24-year-old female, height 5.5 feet and 82 kg. Though I do not have any signs of infection, I usually have heavy menstrual bleeding. I also bleed even when I am not on my period and during running or jogging. I consulted a gynecologist once, and they could not help me.
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
You have mentioned a low or absent sexual desire for sexual stimulation and also menstrual irregularities. Please give me some more details to understand your condition better:
- Did you have any sexual stimulation before in a relationship? (I am asking this because I want to know on what basis are you saying you have no sexual feelings)
- For how long do you have the above complaints?
Regarding menstrual bleeding, you have a menstrual irregularities problem.
- For how long do you have irregular menstruation?
- Do you have any thyroid problems?
It would be best to visit the obstetrician and gynecologist to address the menstruation problem. The low sexual desire could be due to psychological causes; mental health problems including anxiety or depression, stress, and low self-esteem. Please reply to the above questions to guide me further and diagnose you better based on your reply.
Thank you.

Hello doctor,
Yes, I had sexual stimulation before. But, it is not just sexual feelings. Even when someone touches or kisses me, I do not feel anything at all. I have never felt anything in my whole life. I have had menstrual problems for eight years. No, I do not have any thyroid problems.
Thank you.
