Question by Stefanie P: Is it normal for a lower sex drive after a ovary has been removed?
I had a ovary removed due to cysts and now I Have no sex drive. When I first had the surgery my sex drive sky-rocketed and now I could care less if I ever had sex again. Is this normal?

Best answer:

Answer by Ege
estrogen and some other hormones are screted by ovaries. Most probaby after removal it took sometime for your body to find a new balance.This side effect might be quite common in this kind of operation. If you’re unhappy with it you may speak to your doctor and have a HRT therapy. Or try chinese herbal medicine, if you find a good practitioner it’s a safer option.

Question by Steady As She Goes: Is it true that the male sex drive drops significantly after 25 and the female sex drive rises a lot then?

Question by Lozfan: How long does it take for sex drive to fully recover after taking prozac?
My boyfriend was on prozac and other similar medications for a period of about 3 months, then got weaned off all of them by the suggestion of a doctor. It’s been about 3 weeks since he got off of them, and his sex drive is finally beginning to come back a little. The lack of that bond and chemistry is straining our relationship….when can we expect any remaining effects of the lowered sex drive to clear up for good, or is this just in our heads now?

Best answer:

Answer by fototag
It depends on the individual since prozac doesn’t affect the sex drive of every one who takes it. Sex drive is primarily dependent on testosterone but there are some mental and/or emotional effects involved too. Don’t blame it all on the prozac but give it a little more time until his body gets back to normal.The prozac might be out of his blood stream by now but his body will take time to revert back to a normal state.

Question by janicemary2: How long does it take to get my libido back after removal of the Mirena IUD?
I took out my Mirena IUD 4 months ago and I was wondering how long does it take for my body to get back to normal with my hormones so my libido is good again? I already feel like normal but sometimes I don’t. I don’t know if the mirena messed me up on the long term or what’s going on?

Best answer:

Answer by Antigua
I currently have a Mirena and am going to have it removed. After 4 years of having low/no libido I’m calling it quits. I’m going to ask my GYN which pill could help increase my libido. I figure maybe I run low on hormones to begin with – I don’t think it’s the IUD’s fault necessarily. I might have my hormone levels checked and then go on the appropriate pill. You should have your hormone levels checked – you might be low on hormones.

Question by cute: What are the chances of getting cancer again after taking estrogen because of menopause?
Because if I do have cancer I don’t want to feel the symptoms of menopause. Will all doctors refuse to give you estrogen after having cancer?

Best answer:

Answer by BD_king
Research over the last 5-10 years shows a direct correlation between Hormonal replacement therapy and cancer. For this reason, you need to have a very detailed discussion with your physician. Death by cancer is not a pleasant experience.
