Dr Tlaleng Mofokeng answers your sexual health questions

Hormonal changes before your period can lead to differences in libido, desire and preferences in sexual pleasure play.Q. I usually enjoy sex, but before my period I am turned off intercourse completely. I get irritable and don't want to be touched. Why?

Serotonin levels naturally change throughout the menstrual cycle and some people may be more sensitive to these changes, resulting in symptoms of depression, irritability and tension. Noticeable differences in libido, desire and preferences in sexual pleasure play can be expected. Other symptoms include anxiety, panic attacks, lack of interest in daily activities and relationships, poor concentration, fatigue, food cravings or binge eating, insomnia and feeling out of control.
