 Posted: 10/21/06 - 18:27 Post subject: Graves and sex. |
  |
|
| Hi, I am new to all this and this is not something I am comfortable asking anyone but I figured no one here will ever see me. I was diagnosed with graves disease about 8 month ago. I have all the bad side effects from it. Afib, fainting, weight loss, tiredness, depression, strange periods. One thing I'm not sure if it is normal is I can't have an orgasm anymore... I never had this problem before. The other issue is everytime I have intercourse I bleed really bad. I'm sorry if this affended anyone but I need to know if this is normal or if its just me and I have another thing to deal with. |

Hi there! I believe that all of the changes you are experiences, loss of orgasms as well as bleeding after sex are influenced by hormonal fluctuations caused by hyperthyroidism.
I heard of women losing the sensitivity as well, they couldn’t be aroused by touch or other forms of stimulation.
It is impossible to say when these sensations will come back, but they should once you regulated your thyroid levels.
Personally, I would have that bleeding after sex checked to rule out any other diseases and disorders. This is important because although hormonal fluctuations could cause bleeding, so could different infections, cervix inflammation, ovarian cysts, different tumors (cervical, ovarian, uterine), uterine fibroids, etc
You better contact your gyn in order to have this checked just to be on the safe side and for the piece of your mind.
You should openly talk to your doctor about the lack of orgasms and discuss your options. Good luck! |
