Marital breakdown due to libido disorder.

Social Issues - Many marriages don't break down because of a lack of love, but rather from subtle distances in their intimate lives. Many women live with feelings of inadequacy, avoiding intimacy due to pain, loss of desire, or misunderstandings about their own bodies, only to realize later that their family happiness has already crumbled.

The woman burst into tears when she realized she had been mistaken for many years.

At 45, Ms. Trang lived with feelings of insecurity and fear whenever her husband wanted intimacy. After years of childbirth and heavy labor, she suffered from grade 2 bladder prolapse but had no idea what the cause was.

Every time she walks a lot, squats, or strains, her genital area feels swollen and uncomfortable. The constant need to urinate makes her tired, lose confidence, and gradually avoid intimacy with her husband.

What's noteworthy is that she always believed her illness stemmed from sexual activity. The more she feared her condition worsening, the more distant she became from her husband. Initially, her husband was understanding, but the prolonged distance over many years caused their relationship to cool down. Ultimately, the marriage broke down when her husband had an affair.

During a recent follow-up visit at Binh Dan Hospital, the doctor explained to her that bladder prolapse is not caused by sexual intercourse but is usually related to childbirth, constipation, heavy lifting, or weakening of the pelvic floor muscles with age.

Hearing the doctor say she could still have a normal marital life with proper treatment, the woman burst into tears: "If only I had known this sooner, perhaps our marriage wouldn't have come to this."

Sexual dysfunction silently destroys marriages.

According to experts, female sexual dysfunction is a very common problem but is often overlooked. Many women silently endure it due to shame, reluctance to share, or the belief that it is something they "have to accept" after childbirth or when entering middle age.

According to Dr. Huynh Doan Phuong Mai, a specialist in female urology and functional urology, as reported on VnExpress , many women only seek medical attention when symptoms such as burning pain, infection, or prolonged urination become severe. Meanwhile, disorders related to libido and sexual life are rarely mentioned.

Female sexual dysfunction can manifest in various stages. Initially, it may be minor changes, but if prolonged, it can lead to increasing distance between spouses. The woman feels pressured and exhausted, while the man may feel rejected or unloved.

Many couples lose their emotional connection because they don't communicate openly, leading to estrangement, arguments, or infidelity.

It's not just a psychological issue.

Doctors say that libido disorders in women are not simply a matter of "no longer being in love" or "playing hard to get," but are often related to many complex health factors.

Some women, after years of caring for their families, are almost completely exhausted both physically and mentally. They suffer from insomnia, prolonged stress, and no time for self-care, so they gradually lose interest in sex.

The case of Ms. Ha, 42 years old, is a typical example. The pressure of caring for three young children combined with work leaves her constantly exhausted. Meanwhile, her husband's lack of sharing and attention has caused her to gradually lose interest in intimacy.

After repeatedly avoiding each other, her husband also became distant. They lived in the same house, but there was almost no intimacy left between them.

When should I see a doctor?

Doctors recommend that women seek medical attention early if they experience the following symptoms:

Pain during intercourse

Persistent loss of libido

Difficulty achieving arousal

Vaginal dryness

Urinary incontinence, frequent urination

Avoiding intimacy due to discomfort or low self-esteem.

Current treatment involves not only medication but also pelvic floor rehabilitation, hormonal adjustment, psychotherapy, and counseling for both partners.
