The gynecologist called the disease, because of which lost interest in sex

Relationship problems and accumulated fatigue are the two main reasons why both men and women lose interest in sex. However, according to Dr. Peter, sometimes real diseases also act to reduce libido.

According to the doctor, obstetrician-gynecologist Maria Selikhova, libido can decrease with a long absence of ovulation, prolapse of the vaginal walls, infertility, anemia, hypothyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, as well as after viral diseases, intoxication of the body or toxic infection.

The expert explained that when the body feels bad, the brain turns on a protective mechanism and interest in sex drops, because there is no time for reproduction. In this case, passion will return to the relationship when the main reason for its disappearance is eliminated. According to Selikhova, a course of vitamins or medications will help in this, as well as working out the emotional state with a psychologist – treatment should be prescribed individually according to indications.

Sexologist Ekaterina Dombrovskaya also named products that can increase libido. For men, these are bananas, which are high in potassium, seafood, especially oysters, dark chocolate, sea fish and walnuts. In women, red lean meat, pumpkin seeds, pomegranate seeds, red caviar and almonds awaken desire.
