Could Low Sex Drive Be Due To Birth Control Pill?
I have been taking Tri-Sprintec birth control since about September of 2011. Now, it is hard for me to have sex without it being painful. It s like my sex drive has lowered or something. It s embarrassing, and it worries me. Could it be the birthcontrol?

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Birth control pill work by reducing the secretion of hormones from your overy which are responsible for ovulation.
It also affect your ovulation more not sex drive.
It has some side effect like liver or bleeding problem, weight gain etc but no effect on your sexual activity.
You can take pill up to when you want child.
Then stop and you will have ovulation within some time.
Please don't worry and consult your doctor for counseling and guidance.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks for contacting.
