Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Low libido, lack of pleasure during intercourse, vaginal dryness and burning, palpitations, insomnia, night sweats, reduced menstrual volume with red color, early onset, red tongue with little coating. What Western medicine should be taken for these symptoms? What is the name of the medicine?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the cause of hypoactive sexual desire is often not singular, so treatment needs to adopt different approaches based on different causes. Hypoactive sexual desire lacks objective signs and primarily relies on patient self-reporting. It only shows effectiveness when patients genuinely request treatment; otherwise, it may have the opposite effect.Western medicine treatment mainly includes psychological therapy and medication. Psychological therapy methods include eliminating fear, overcoming biases about sex life, improving marital relationships, and other aspects. Medication treatment primarily involves sex hormone drugs and antidepressants. For cases caused by organic diseases, corresponding medications should be selected based on the underlying condition.
