Loss of sex drive

Awesome information that suits me and a lot of new moms out there!
Question
Is any kind of vitamin or herbal medication that you can take to increase your sex drive. Ever since I gave birth to my daughter I haven’t had have as strong a sex drive as I used to have.I was told that there are herbal stuff or vitamins that can help. Is this true? Please help as my relationship is getting bad because of it and my partner is really annoyed that I have no interest in sex anymore. We love each other so much and I can’t bear to lose him over this.

Answer
David writes: There are lots of herbal medications and vitamin preparations that are alleged to boost your sex drive. And many shops will be delighted to sell them to you! But – and this is very important – there are absolutely no scientific trials that prove that any of these things work (except, of course, by the power of suggestion). At the moment, 'medical ' drugs like Cialis, Levitra, Viagra and the male hormone testosterone haven't really been proved to help women in your situation either – though some testosterone products are likely to be marketed quite soon.There are one or two devices and creams that are alleged to help when applied to the clitoris. But really what you need to do is to go to an experienced doctor who can help you find out WHY you are lacking in desire. In the UK, the easiest place to find such a doctor is often at your local Family Planning Clinic. Alternatively, try Relate or Couple Counselling Scotland (about to be re-named ‘Relate Scotland’).
Christine adds: Yes, I'm sure that if you can find an easy-going, frank woman doctor to talk to at a Family Planning clinic, she'll be able to help you a lot. Can I also suggest that you take a look at an article we wrote called 'Sexual desire and your hormones'? I do hope that our advice will help you, and that things will improve substantially before long. Best wishes.Yours sincerelyDr David Delvin, GP and Christine Webber, sex and relationships expert
