Disturbing thoughts
I am married and my age is 30. I have a 3 year old kid(daughter). My wife has had irregular periods for the last 6 months to 1 year.  It goes for nearly 15 days every month. Because of that she is feeling very tired all the time. She is not able to intimate with me, she tries a lot to get into the mood but does things for formality. Once per month has become a big thing these days. I am trying to divert my thoughts and also learning new skills. Still I am feeling deprived of intimacy. She is also seeing lots of doctors and trying to get herself treated but of no use so far. All of them are saying the same thing hormonal imbalance. I have conveyed my feelings with my wife as well. We are having frequent fights even over unnecessary things as well. What to do now from my side Note: we both are working in IT

Dear Practo User, What you are experiencing is emotionally difficult, but it is also a very common situation in couples dealing with long-term stress, hormonal imbalance, work pressure, fatigue, and reduced emotional connection. From your description, it seems your wife is already physically and mentally exhausted due to prolonged irregular periods and hormonal issues. When someone is constantly tired, intimacy often becomes emotionally stressful rather than natural, even if the love and care are still present. At the same time, your feelings of loneliness, frustration, and emotional deprivation are also valid. Suppressing those feelings for too long can lead to irritation, overthinking, frequent fights, and emotional distance between partners. From your side, try focusing on these points: • Avoid turning intimacy into pressure or expectation for some time • Support her emotionally without repeatedly discussing performance or frequency • Spend quality time together outside of work and health discussions • Appreciate small emotional efforts instead of focusing only on physical intimacy • Continue your self-growth activities, exercise, hobbies, and stress management • Maintain calm communication instead of discussing concerns during arguments Since both of you work in IT, stress, screen time, irregular sleep, and mental burnout can also significantly affect mood, hormones, patience, and relationship bonding. Most importantly, do not start believing that the relationship is “finished” because intimacy has reduced temporarily. Many couples go through such phases during health or hormonal struggles. Sometimes relationship counseling or couple counseling alongside medical treatment can help both partners reconnect emotionally and reduce misunderstandings. This phase should be approached as a “shared health challenge” instead of “one partner failing the other.” Patience, emotional safety, and proper treatment together usually bring much better long-term results.

It seems to be post partum psychological changes leading to physical and harmonal changes. It needs to be treated asap otherwise it may get complicated. It can be well treated with counseling sessions and homeopathic medicine effectively and without any side effects. It needs to be addressed in a holistic approach for complete recovery.

Namastey Your situation reflects two parallel issues—your wife’s ongoing gynecological concern (likely abnormal uterine bleeding related to Hormonal imbalance) and the resulting strain on your emotional and intimate relationship. Prolonged bleeding (up to 15 days/month) can lead to significant fatigue, low energy, irritability, and reduced libido. From a medical and psychological perspective, her reduced interest in intimacy is not unwillingness, but a consequence of physical exhaustion and hormonal disturbance. At the same time, your feeling of deprivation is also valid. The key here is to shift from a “performance expectation” mindset to a supportive partnership approach, where intimacy temporarily takes a broader meaning—emotional closeness, reassurance, and patience—until her health stabilizes.
Next Steps
From your side, focus on reducing pressure around intercourse and rebuilding connection in non-sexual ways—simple time together, conversations, light affection, and emotional support. Acknowledge her effort rather than her limitations; this alone can reduce tension and fights significantly. Avoid repeated discussions about intimacy during stressful moments—choose calm, neutral times to communicate. Since both of you are working professionals, stress and fatigue are already high, so creating protected “couple time” without expectations can help. For structured guidance on managing relationship stress, intimacy concerns, and supporting your wife’s recovery holistically, you are encouraged to connect with us at 9 3 1 5 6 6 1 5 6 5 for professional and confidential counseling.
Health Tips
Encourage a lifestyle that supports her recovery—regular meals, proper sleep, and reduced work stress where possible. Emotional reassurance from your side can positively influence her hormonal balance over time. Avoid arguments over frequency of intimacy; instead, build emotional safety and trust. You may also take care of your own mental wellbeing through healthy outlets like exercise, skill-building, or mindfulness, so that frustration does not build up. With patience and mutual understanding, both her health and your relationship can gradually return to a more balanced and fulfilling state. Thank you
