Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am reaching out because I have been struggling with intimacy with my husband for the past six years. During intimacy, I do not feel like doing it, and this is affecting my marriage, which has made me feel confused and frustrated. I am seeking guidance on how to improve our connection and make our intimate moments more enjoyable. Could you please offer some advice or support?
Thank you.
