What is your frequency of sex in this month?
3-4 days in a week. one time in a day.

How do you feel during the sex? Do you enjoy fully?
No. I am less interested and i do it for my wife.

Problem of headache,body pain and tiredness remains continuously or few hours after sex only? Extreme tiredness last about 6-7 hours. After marriage i become weak and fall asleep everyday. I would feel sleepy by 9pm and so if i find my wife desire for intercourse, i would do it for her without any interest. I feel my eyes closing due to sleepiness even during intercourse. i feel sleepy in bus even during office travel. This i never experienced before marriage. But I shown more interest in the first week after my marriage.

Do you have any habit of smoke or alcohol?
No

Do you have any physical problem?
No

What is your education and occupation?
Engineer and i am an estimator (computer work)

Do you have any stress or anxiety?
I dont know but after marriage i feel different. I become lazy and showing less interest in everything, my work, my hobby, my spiritual life....

How is life in other ares apart from sex with wife?
From last week i easily become angry at her for trivial things. I argue with her for small things. I get upset with her easily.

Did you have any experience of sex before marriage?If yes,was same problem there?
No.

In past or present is same problem there after masturbation?
In past i did it, but after marriage i quit it completely. In past also i masturbate once in a week.

We practise only missionary position. We tried doggy position but we were unsuccessful.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for to the point reply.Good.

I read it carefully.

"No. I am less interested and i do it for my wife."

"I dont know but after marriage i feel different. I become lazy and showing less interest in everything, my work, my hobby, my spiritual life...."

"From last week i easily become angry at her for trivial things. I argue with her for small things. I get upset with her easily.'

All above history suggests that something wrong is going on in your relationship. You should be evaluated in detail by a psychiatrist in terms of marital history and mental status examination. Your narration suggests some features of depression.

Please do not take my words in negative manner. Even you can go with your wife to see a doctor for better evaluation.As early as problem found out, some treatment can be done. And earlier the treatment , better the result.

Pain in body and headache ,tiredness and lack of concentration might be somatic features of depression.

Hope you will see a psychiatrist soon.

If still any query feel free to ask.

All the best.
