Increase Your Sex Drive Q & A
Loss of libido since childbirth
Dear Dr. Seth,
I had a baby 2 years ago. Since then, I have had no interest in any sort of sex. I do not think this is healthy for me since I am only 24. I am a little upset but not nearly as upset as my husband. Please help me to increase my sex drive

Dear Lucy,
Several possibilities. First, how much time do you have available for fun/sex? Excess work and worry are the most common killers of sex drive. Second, what medications are you taking? Birth control pills will kill sex drive in many women, and alcohol is also a notorious depressant. Finally, do you feel depressed? Unrecognized post-partum depression is usually accompanied by lack of sex drive. No matter what you find the problem to be, there are many drugs or other products that can help.
Don't give up.
