How to manage a low sex drive in females?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I got married two months ago, and my wife is not engaging in any intimacy due to trust issues. I have been trying to create a connection for the past month, but it is not working. She is not ready for anything, and even consulting her about it seems difficult. Her sex drive is low. What would you suggest?

Kindly provide your insight.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern.

I am very sorry to hear about your situation, and I am glad that you are paying attention to the changes in your body. But do not worry, I am here to support you. It sounds like you are facing a challenging situation in your marriage, and it is understandable to feel concerned. Building trust and emotional intimacy takes time, especially in a new marriage. Here are a few suggestions that might help:

Communicate openly and gently:

  1. Have an honest and calm conversation with your wife about her feelings and concerns.

  2. Ask her if there are any underlying fears or worries she has regarding intimacy.

  3. Let her know that you are there to support her without any pressure.

Build an emotional connection first:

  1. Focus on strengthening your emotional bond before pursuing physical intimacy.

  2. Spend quality time together doing activities she enjoys, like going for walks, watching movies, or engaging in meaningful conversations.

  3. Small gestures of love, such as thoughtful messages or compliments, can help create a sense of comfort.

I hope this has helped you.

Kindly follow up with the required information.

Thank you.
