Sexual Problems Due to Contraceptive Posted: 07-04-05 15:45pm
Greetings.
My name is leo and I am from brazil. I
am facing some difficult situation into my
married life. I am 23 years old though
I look like abou 19 years and I am married
for 7 months. Since my wife, aged 18,
started taking a special contraceptive,
her sexual desire has decreased near to
zero. This special contraceptive is
used to prevent vagina bleeding in those
days. She started taking this drug
because some months ago her anemia
desease was in high level and now, she
does not bleed anymore and her anemia
stabilized. However the side affects
of this contraceptive causes lack of
sexual desire. Me and my wife used to
have sex for about 3 or 4 times a week
before this contraceptive and now, we have
sex about once a month or every other
month. She feels sorry and cry
sometimes when we talk about it and we
rarely argue about it. I am completely
aware that it is not her fault , however
it hurts me a lot to sleep aside my
beloved wife without not being able to
make love with her. I wanted to know
your opinion about this. How would you
solve this problem?I wonder if there is a
drug for men to take to decrease sexual
desire as well in order to go on with life
aside her as normally as we were having
sex like the old times. Or maybe
should I go to a psycologist and try to
work in my mind and not demand my wife sex
in order not to pressure her? I am doing
fine however I feel depressed some times
when my sexual desire is so intense. I
really want to do something about it!
:cry:
i would love to hear advices from you
ladies. Sorry if I posted in the wrong
place but I really need women opinion
about it.
If you need any more info just let me know
ok?
Thank you for reading and trying to help
ladies.
Your new and troubled friend,
leo!

She may be on a progestin only,
depo-provera? Which may not be the best
treatment available, maybe an oral
contraceptive (low dose) would suffice to
keep things steady for her, even an
extended-cycle (fewer periods) might be
good like seasonale...(u.S brand name)
some heavy bleeding women benefit from a
d&c where the lining of the uterus is
cleaned out and it truly helps, also
there's an ablative procedure that kills
off some of the lining and as these are
nonhormonal they should not affect her
libido
you sound like an extraordinary patient
husband and i'm sure you'll find some
solution but you best advocate for
yourselves and do your own research
because that's how you'll get the best
outcome

Menorrhagia is the term you need to
research, as well as hypermenorrhea
