Every mother-to-be wants a smooth pregnancy and uncomplicated birth, but some things put you into the “high risk” category. Learn what these factors are and how they’re managed to ensure the safety of you and your baby.
You may feel embarrassed about discussing your low libido with your doctor. Or you may think that it’s not a “real” medical concern.
But in reality, your intimate life is an important part of your overall health. The quality of your sexual relationships impacts your emotional well-being, which affects many aspects of your health.
In fact, various studies have shown that a healthy sex life is linked to better sleep, a stronger immune system, and even a lower migraine risk.
As the only doctor in the region who is a fellow of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health, Dr. Peter Khamvongsa is truly concerned about the role that sexual health plays in your life.
You can talk to him about any issue, including low libido, when you come in for your well-woman visit at the Miami Institute of Urogynecology and Minimally Invasive Surgery.
We’re all incredibly busy with work, family, and countless other responsibilities. Often, sex loses out to the desire to sleep and the need to tend to other duties.
Sexual dysfunction can also be the result of trauma, age-related problems, medical conditions, or emotional challenges like depression.
But this doesn’t mean that you have to feel disconnected from your partner. Dr. Khamvongsa makes it clear to his patients that even though it can be hard to discuss, sexual education isn’t just about birth control and learning about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
It’s also about adopting an open attitude toward discussing sex. A frank and fruitful discussion with Dr. Khamvongsa can lead to a solution or treatment plan for your low libido.
It’s not just physical problems like menopause-related vaginal dryness or erectile dysfunction that can cause you to feel distant from your partner. It’s also challenges like:
All of these situations can negatively affect desire and even eliminate it completely.
Your sex life isn’t a sprint but a marathon. Life circumstances, age, and other factors mean that your libido waxes and wanes during your lifetime. Rest assured that this is normal, but there’s no shame in seeking help when it’s waned to a point that you find distressing.
Dr. Khamvongsa discusses several types of treatment that can get your satisfaction levels back to normal:
Certain prescription medications can lower your libido. Dr. Khamvongsa can review your medications, and if possible, suggest safe substitutes for ones that may be problematic.
If you’re struggling with a lack of desire, Dr. Khamvongsa can help you figure out why it’s happening. He will create a treatment plan to get you back on track to a satisfying intimate life with your partner.
