Does Nexplanon Cause Low Sex Drive?

Me and my husband have been together for 3 years. 2 kids. I m currently on nexplanon. My problem is I don t want to have sex. I m 20 years old. My husband is 24. He doesn t have a problem, he wants it. I don t want it, don t want to think about it, don t get excited about it or anything. This started in the middle of my second pregnancy, so about a year ago. I m always stressed out and this situation doesn t help that. I could care less about sex but my husband thinks I don t love him , etc. And its causing problems in our relationship. That s not true, I do love him. I just don t have a sex drive. My question is, what do I need to look into first? And if that doesn t work what do I need to do next, etc. I m a stay at home mom of 2 kids, I m stressed and depressed.

Hello,

The Nexplanon is not responsible for low sex drive, but it is the hormone level changes at hypothalamus pituitary axis during last delivery which can be Sheehan syndrome from excess bleeding or else. Need to consult expert OBGYN for hormone evaluation and further treatment guidelines accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
