After pregnancy, my wife has lost interest in sex and also has a vaginal fungal infection. How can this be managed, and how can her interest improve?
After pregnancy, it is common for women to have reduced interest in sex due to factors like hormonal changes, fatigue, stress, body changes, or discomfort from issues like a vaginal fungal infection. The first step is to treat the infection properly with doctor-prescribed antifungal medicines and maintain good hygiene by keeping the area clean and dry and wearing loose cotton underwear. For improving interest, focus on emotional support, open communication, and giving her time to recover physically and mentally, as pressure can make things worse. Adequate rest, help with childcare, and addressing pain or dryness (with medical advice if needed) can also help. If the problem persists, consulting a gynaecologist can help identify any underlying physical or hormonal issues and guide appropriate treatment.
