Hi guys,

random question and not sure if anyone can help?

is there anyway to increase your sex drive?

I am on meds which people say lower your sex drive but before the meds i practically had none because of the pain i get during intercourse.

So in other words, i have no sex drive. Think this is driving my bf crazy...im amazed he has stuck with me so long!!

I saw your other thread as well. Is it possible you might have 'vagismus'? Sorry to hear you're struggling with this. Does your doctor think the edometriosis could be repsonsible for pain during intercourse? Here's a link is case you haven't heard of this before:

You're welcome. If your doctor looks puzzled when you mention it - might be a good idea to print out some general info on the subject. The pain is most likely putting a damper on your desire. Blood work could check if your hormones are in the right balance. Maybe the endometriosis is the cause - it would be good to speak to other women who have this. Good luck and I hope you find out the cause.
