Thyroid issues can affect your sex life by causing low desire, pain, or trouble getting aroused. These changes may feel confusing or upsetting, but support is available. Visit our DOXXES store on Westheimer/Dairy Ashford to explore products that bring comfort and restore confidence.
What Is Thyroid Disorder Affecting Sexual Function?
This condition happens when an overactive or underactive thyroid changes how you feel during intimacy. You might experience:
- Superficial pain – discomfort on the surface
- Deep pain – inside the pelvis or abdomen
- Provoked pain – only when touched or during sex
Why Does It Happen?
Mental and emotional causes include:
- Worry about health or sexual performance
- Past emotional or sexual trauma
- Relationship stress or guilt
Physical causes may include:
- Infections or irritation in the pelvic area
- Hormonal shifts from thyroid problems
- Tight or weak pelvic floor muscles
- Changes after childbirth or surgery
These causes often overlap, so addressing both body and mind gives the best results.
Examples and Identifying Triggers
Real-world examples:
- A person with hyperthyroidism feels less aroused
- Someone with hypothyroidism has dryness or pain
- A new parent taking thyroid meds loses interest in sex
- Pain shows up weeks after surgery, even after healing
Tips to find your triggers:
- Keep a journal of moods, meds, and sex-related symptoms
