Ensure you’re in fine form to have sex. Schedule a physical examination with your doctor. This can be especially helpful if you stopped having sex for health reasons, for example. If you’ve had a baby recently, you will want to see your gynecologist to get a green light for sex. Many women who have given birth find sex to be uncomfortable or painful after childbirth. Your doctor can determine if there are any physical problems resulting from childbirth. Perhaps you stopped having sex because things weren’t working properly for you. For example, maybe you weren’t having orgasms anymore. This doesn’t mean that you have to stop having sex entirely. There are many options for medications and other treatments for sexual dysfunction, both for men and women.  Be proactive about addressing dysfunction that you’re experiencing. Make an appointment with your doctor. He or she will be able to help you figure out the next step. You may feel shy or embarrassed when talking to your doctor about issues pertaining to sex. But your doctor is there to help you live your life to the fullest and genuinely wants to help you. It might help talking with a female doctor if you’re a woman, or a male doctor if you’re a man. Your mental health can affect how you respond to sex. If you are depressed, you might have decreased interest in sex. Address your depression or anxiety by seeing a counselor. This person will be able to help you dig into why you feel depressed or anxious. He or she can also give you strategies for coping with these disorders. Some signs of depression can include:  Significant loss of appetite or loss of weight. Disrupted sleep (either unable to sleep or sleeping too much). Fatigue or loss of energy. Increased agitation or decreased movement noticeable by others. Feelings of worthlessness or excessive. Having difficulty concentrating or feeling. Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide, attempting suicide or having a plan for suicide. Talk with your doctor about medication. Depression and anxiety can be caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. Medications help correct those imbalances. Be warned, however, that some medications may reduce sexual interest or pleasure. Talk with your doctor to find the best option for you.
