How Can I Cope With Low Libido? - #60182
I am dealing with these chronic digestive issues and honestly, it’s driving me crazy! For like the past few months, I have been having bloating, gas, and sometimes just this... heaviness in my stomach, ugh. And on top of that, I have noticed my libido is just... gone. Like poof! I mean, I used to have a pretty healthy sex drive, but now? I don't even think about it. Is there a connection between my digestive issues and low libido? I tried to read about it online but honestly, it’s all so confusing. I even went to a couple of doctors and got tests done, but they just keep telling me everything is normal, but I feel anything but normal. I’m frustrated because I can’t enjoy food anymore, and then like, what’s the point of being intimate when you don’t feel anything? It’s like this cycle that just keeps looping. I have heard Ayurveda can help with digestive issues low libido, but I’m not really sure how to start. Can you guys share any tips or treatments that might help? I’m seriously thinking about trying something natural, but I wanna make sure it’s gonna actually help both the digestion and the libido. Any suggestions?
