     Urinary tract infections

     When the urinary tract is invaded by germs, you are likely to suffer from a urinary tract infection. An untreated urinary tract infection can infect your kidneys and cause permanent damage. Most urinary tract infections occur through the urethra, the tube that transfers urine out of the body through the bladder. The germs that cause this infection usually reside in the large intestine and are present in your stool. Your chances of getting a urinary tract infection are greater if you have a low fluid intake or if you suffer from diabetes. The presence of enlarged prostate glands or kidney stones increases your chances of having an infected urinary tract.

     Symptoms of a urinary tract infection include painful or burning sensations while urinating, a heavy or tender stomach, cloudy or smelly urine, pain in the kidneys, chills and fever, vomiting and nausea. A course of antibiotics will treat the infection, but you can prevent it drinking lots of water everyday and urinating frequently.

     Yeast infection

     Yeast infections are caused by a specific kind of fungi, the candida albicans. Yeast infections are characterized by burning, inflammation and itching in the folds of your skin. Other symptoms of a fungal infection include fiery red rashes with sharply outlined edges and a scalloped border. These rashes are usually visible as minute pimples filled with pus in the genitals or in the folds of skin around your navel or on your neck or underarms. You are likely to develop yeast infection if you have poor hygiene, are overweight, wear tight-fitting clothes or have a weak immune system. Yeast infection can be treated by a topical non-prescription ointment.

     You always worry about what you look like in bed

     If you tend to think more about looking your best while having sex, you are ruining your enjoyment and your partner’s too. You are also hurting your chances of having a pleasurable orgasm if you are constantly worried about your tummy fat or messing up your make-up. Therapists advise focusing on the sexual act to the exclusion of everything else for the best sex of your life. Men want their partners to surrender themselves to sex play and are put off by what they perceive as lack of interest or narcissism. Besides, men are more likely to think about the fun they are having at the moment rather than the wrinkles on their partner’s face. If you are energetic, flexible and enthusiastic about sex, your partner isn’t likely to notice anything else.

     You don’t like to make the first move

     Decades after the sexual revolution, women still consider it unladylike to make the first move in the sexual game. Repressive conditioning makes us afraid of appearing pushy or aggressive in the bedroom, and we invariably wait for the man to initiate sex. Men don’t want to be the initiator every time and are usually turned on by women who aren’t afraid of coming on too strong. Women love being an object of desire for their partners and so do men, so giving them what they want can make sex more fun.

     There are a few possibilities that we might need to examine before we really conclude reasons for this lowered sexual drive. There are some who are fed up with the same sexual position, but perhaps don’t know for sure that this may be the reason for boredom in the bedroom. There are some who are probably medically unfit for having a healthy sex life. Hypothyroidism is another great reason for low sex drive. Hormonal imbalances may not always look all that severe but the fact is that they are known to be doses of slow poison that seep through our lives without we being completely involved in the process.

     Domestic problems and improper understanding amongst both partners can also be another reason for their worry as the mind, especially the sub conscious mind never forgets. It slowly deprives your vagina to get all that heated up and lubricated, so much so that even if you want to change the situation and get there, its rather difficult as you’ve already frozen your system.

     Certain amount of prolonged illness may also provide to this problem. But most importantly, this occurs after the birth of a child, especially after the first child. The trauma of child birth as it were and the boon of breast feeding is a feeling so orgasmic that the need for sex is thrown out of the window. Its always a case with men feeling left out after a baby is born. First the woman needs to get back on track with her body and the new entrant in life and secondly, the joy of holding the little bundle of joy in one’s arms is so great that all other joys that seem momentary are eluded.

     For fathers, its quite a different case altogether. Men need to feel loved and unlike women, their need for this sort of love is through sex. Women tend to draw in closer after their new life gets set after the baby and its is perhaps nothing short of boredom, that brings them closer to their man again. For men too, erection problems and their pot bellies can pose a threat to their sexual life. To pump your lady with your stream of love can only be possible to your satisfaction if you have a normal, and less bloated tummy. Sure your libido might be high but if your body isn’t in your hands then its quite depressing for a man to fulfil his lover’s needs. It is in this scenario that a man often loses hi erection, causing a lowered sexual drive in him. He may be turned on by a sexy lady by his side, but if he cannot perform, something that’s absolutely essential for him as a man, then he’s already lost the battle even before he began! Read more…
