Very Low Libido…. what can help????
If her sex drive was normal (acceptable to you both) before she started on the medication and you are sure it is the medication affecting it, then there aren’t a lot of options. Women’s sex drive is also stimulated by testosterone, like men’s, and some medications can suppress this hormone or interfere in its absorption. There are other reasons why sex drive can stop, like changes in serotonin levels caused by some anti-depressants. The best thing you can do to help your partner is support her through the reason why she needs the medication. A balanced diet, low in refined carbohydrates (starches and added sugars) can help raise libido through balancing the body’s anabolic/catabolic hormone ratio. (see references) If she truly loves you, then allow her to do it “only for you” if she wants to. You may also just need to be more affectionate and patient when initiating sex/starting foreplay. Sometimes women are helped just by being shown affection. There is an old saying that men need sex
