Medical Conditions
For many of these conditions, medical treatment can jump-start sex drive or reduce the discomfort that hampers it. For example, sexual problems brought on by thyroid disease disappear with adequate medication. In the case of painful sex due to arthritis, medical experts advise applying heat to affected joints beforehand to promote comfort during sex.
