Low libido, vaginal discomfort, and changes in sexual desire are incredibly common, but that doesn’t mean women have to “just live with it.”

In this episode, Dr. Chhaya Makhija is joined by gynecologist and sexual wellness expert Dr. Adana Ikedilo to break down what low libido actually means, when it becomes a medical issue, and why women should never feel shame for bringing it up.

Key Takeaways:
✅ What causes low libido in women?
✅ Is low libido normal during perimenopause or menopause?
✅ Can hormonal changes affect female sex drive?
✅ Can stress and lack of sleep reduce libido?
✅ What is the O-Shot and does it work?
✅ Is PRP safe for vaginal health?

Together, they explore why low libido is often misunderstood, how hormones, brain chemistry, pelvic health, stress, and sleep all play a role, and what truly personalized treatment can look like. From hormone therapy and FDA-approved medications to regenerative treatments like PRP (O-Shot) and vaginal laser therapy, this conversation brings clarity, compassion, and hope to a topic many women struggle with silently.

If you’ve ever wondered whether what you’re experiencing is “normal,” distressing, or treatable, this episode is for you.
