Female sexual health and fertility are closely linked to overall reproductive well-being. Many women experience challenges related to sexual dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and fertility issues that may affect their ability to conceive or maintain a healthy sex life. At Dr. Pruthvi Raj Honnaiah’s clinic, we provide comprehensive evaluation and personalized care to diagnose and manage female sexual and infertility problems, helping women restore confidence, improve intimacy, and achieve their reproductive goals.

Common Causes of Female Sexual Dysfunction & Infertility

Several factors can contribute to sexual and fertility problems in women. These causes include:

• Hormonal Imbalances: Irregular menstrual cycles, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and thyroid disorders can affect both libido and fertility.
• Psychological Factors: Stress, anxiety, past trauma, and relationship issues can contribute to sexual dysfunction.
• Structural & Anatomical Issues: Conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, or congenital abnormalities can impact fertility.
• Infections & Inflammatory Diseases: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can impair reproductive health.
• Lifestyle Factors: Poor nutrition, obesity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and sedentary habits can negatively influence sexual and reproductive health.

Symptoms of Sexual Dysfunction & Infertility in Women

Symptoms vary depending on the underlying condition, but common signs include:

• Low Sexual Desire: Persistent lack of interest in sexual activity.
• Painful Intercourse: Pain or discomfort during intimacy, often caused by infections, endometriosis, or vaginal dryness.
• Difficulty in Arousal or Orgasm: Trouble achieving or sustaining arousal or reaching orgasm.
• Irregular Menstrual Cycles: Inconsistent periods may indicate ovulatory disorders affecting fertility.
• Inability to Conceive: Difficulty getting pregnant after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse.
• Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: Repeated miscarriages may point to underlying reproductive issues.

Comprehensive Evaluation & Diagnosis

Dr. Pruthvi Raj Honnaiah offers a holistic evaluation process to understand the root cause of female sexual dysfunction and infertility, using advanced diagnostic techniques:

• Medical History & Counseling: A detailed history helps identify contributing lifestyle, emotional, and medical factors.
• Hormonal Blood Tests: Assessing estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones, and prolactin to evaluate hormonal balance.
• Pelvic Ultrasound: Imaging to check for structural abnormalities such as fibroids, cysts, or endometrial issues.
• Ovulation Monitoring: Tracking ovulation patterns through blood work and ultrasound to assess fertility potential.
• Sexual Health Assessment: Evaluating libido, arousal, and physical symptoms related to sexual dysfunction.
• Infection Screening: Checking for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or chronic pelvic infections.

Treatment Options for Female Sexual Dysfunction & Infertility

Customized treatment plans are designed based on the diagnosis, ensuring targeted care for optimal outcomes:

• Hormonal Therapy: Treating hormonal imbalances such as PCOS or thyroid disorders to restore ovulation and improve sexual health.
• Medications: Fertility drugs to stimulate ovulation or treat specific infections or inflammatory conditions.
• Counseling & Psychotherapy: Addressing emotional and psychological factors contributing to sexual dysfunction through professional counseling.
• Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART): Options such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) for conception support.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery: Procedures like laparoscopy or hysteroscopy to correct anatomical issues affecting fertility.
• Pelvic Physiotherapy: To improve pelvic muscle function and reduce pain during intercourse.

Lifestyle Recommendations for Sexual & Reproductive Health

Simple lifestyle changes can significantly enhance sexual well-being and fertility:

• Maintain a Healthy Weight: Obesity and being underweight can disrupt hormone levels and ovulation.
• Balanced Diet: A diet rich in folic acid, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals supports reproductive health.
• Regular Exercise: Physical activity helps regulate hormones, improve blood circulation, and reduce stress.
