Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 31-year-old female. I have lost my sexual drives, and it is affecting my marriage life. Kindly advice.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If you have a low sex drive, then this should be evaluated properly. Medical causes like diabetes and hypertension should be ruled out. This might be due to hormonal issues. Your serum prolactin and progesterone levels should be checked. Normal levels will rule out the hormonal cause. Do you have pain during sex? Because pain could be one reason for low sex drive. Using a good lubricant during sex will reduce pain and will also help to increase pleasure which in turn will improve the drive with time.
You should spend more time in foreplay. This will increase the chances of good orgasm which will make sex more pleasurable. This will also increase sex drive with time. As such there are no specific drugs for female sex drive. Drugs containing L-Arginine have some roles in improving drive. L-Arginine in a dose of 500 mg per day help to increase engorgement of the clitoris which will increase sexual pleasure and drive with time. I hope this helps. If you have more doubts, please let me know.
