Young With a Low Sex Drive

Hello, I am 30 years old, with 2 children.  And I have a very low sex drive.  This started after the birth of my first child.  I mentioned it to my OB/GYN and she said I was just tired.  I concerns me because I am so young.  And I feel bad for my husband.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Don't give up your gyn,  but go to an Endocrinologist.  Meanwhile check out http://www.pituitary.org, especially Prolactinoma.  Pituitary tumors are VERY COMMON and treatable.

I'm not saying that you have a tumor.  But an Endocrinologist will check out your hormones and glands, including thyroid and pituitary.

I went to 4 gyns that told me that it was all in my head..........the endocrinologist found what was in my head.  All the gyn had the same test results and said and did nothing.

I am only 30 and having the same problem.  I didn't have the low sex drive til after my 3rd child was born.  It is really fustrating and alot of times I would rather go to sleep and have a dream about sex than actually do it.  If you would finally find an answer, Please Please let me know.  I am just like you feel so bad for my husband and at times find my self having sex with him, hoping it will get him off my back for a while.  I don't have medical coverage so I haven't talked to anyone about it.  I do recall seeing a while back an episode where Lisa basically was arguing with another Dr. about post mentapause and remember thinking to my self that the woman they had on there was describing me.  The low sex drive, the weight gain, the night sweats, and the being easily aggervated.  I can't help but wonder if Post Mentapause is what we are experienceing.  I do know that with mentapause you have messed up hormone levels that could be causing us the problems.  If you have an OB/GYN that you think you can trust, maybe have them run a test to check your hormone levels and see if they are messed up maybe that will fix this problem.  Keep me posted and let me know if you figure anything out.  I wish you the best of luck trying to solve this mystery since we are to young to be having this problem.

Hi, I just turned 29 last week.  I was taking an antidepressant, meds for bipolar and ADHD.  I had a problem with going completely numb inside my vagina during intercourse and had no pleasure at all.  I also had headaches everyday ranging from mild to migrains for over 6 months and a very low to no sex drive at all.  I stopped the antidepressant and the med for my bipolar which was also causing acne just to experiment since I had two different opinions from two different doctors about my problem and my sex drive is not perfect yet, but ok.  As for the headaches, I still get them about 4 or 5 times a week.  I asked my family doctor about my problem and she tested my hormone level.  At the time I was also having very slow hair growth on my legs. My doctor told me I was just geting older.  I have many medical problems I may post on here that has been passed off for years as being in my head by many doctors that can't find out my problem with one test and gives up on me.  I wish you luck and hope you find out what is causing it.

Hello Sweetpagel,  I am older than you, (57) and have been struggling with this for about 5 years. I can tell you some of the things that I have tried, Maybe one of them will work for you. First of all my ob/gyn put me on Estratest. It's a combination of Estrogen and Testoterone. Low testosterone can inhibit libido. I suggest you get some labs on your hormones to rule that out. Then, I went on Wellbutrin, and antidepressant, it often boosts sex drive. When I first met my husband in 2003 I was on it, and we couldn't keep our hands off each other. Then menopause hit, and about 2 years into, my sex drive went into the toilet. Another drug that's supposed to help is Apomorphine. Just google "apomorphine for sex drive". It's a drug used to treat parkinson's, and it affects dopamine. I have found something that hasn't completely restored me to normal, but has decreased my resistance to being touched, and have even managed to engage in some sex with my husband, I had to take it for about 10 days at twice the dose, however. It's called "Passion Rx". Just google it. I'm about to try acupuncture next. I feel so bad for my husband, he has been so patient with me, and he has a very healthy sex drive. You should not have sex when you don't want to, because that causes you to shut off your feelings, and contributes to the numbing. Good luck. Hope you have success and life can be gratifying for you once again.
