What Is The Cause Of Low Libido Situation?

Posted on Wed, 6 Nov 2024

Question: My wife, 64-year-old, frequently suffers from sweating and feeling hot while sleeping at night. This makes her wake up from sleep suddenly, which causes her insomnia. This case has been more than 4 years. We went to an internist, in Turkey, two months ago and she had a blood test and the result was normal. Then the doctor prescribed Duloxx 30mg. She took one pill a day, then stopped taking it, as it caused her drowsiness and severe indolence. When reviewing this drug, it was found that it is a treatment for depression and anxiety and has bad side effects. The question is this drug suitable for such a case? And what is the cause of this situation? Knowing that she does not suffer from depression or anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Thanks for posting the query.
Yes some times due to post menopausal harmonal changes this hot flushes do happen, a HRT or some supplements would be of help. This drug would have been prescribed thinking stress has caused the sweating and hot feeling.
Kindly meet a gynecologist and get the Hormonal replacement medications.

Take care.
