In the first episode of Mech 3ayb, we uncover why conversations about sex are so often missing in the doctor’s office.
Why don’t doctors ask about intimacy? Why do women hesitate to bring up pain, low desire, or orgasm concerns?
We explore the roots of this silence, its impact on women’s health and relationships, and share actionable tips for both women and healthcare providers to break the taboo.

Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and often takes 7–10 years to diagnose.
In this episode of Mech 3ayb, we go beyond painful periods to explore how endometriosis impacts fertility, relationships, and sexual pleasure.
We discuss symptoms, diagnosis, treatments, and practical tools — from pelvic therapy to yoga and communication techniques — to help women reclaim intimacy.

The female orgasm isn’t a mystery — but it’s not always easy either.
In this episode, we break down the physiology of orgasm, the different types (from full-body to G-spot to multiple), and why 80% of women need external stimulation.
We cover arousal, common barriers, vibrator use, practical exercises, and science-backed tips to boost your pleasure and confidence.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects 1 in 10 women, disrupting cycles, hormones, fertility, and body image.
In this episode, we explain symptoms, causes (including insulin resistance and environmental toxins), its impact on desire and sexuality, and the best diet and exercise strategies.
We share evidence-based solutions — from supplements and workouts to yoga and hormonal balance techniques — so you can regain control of your health and confidence.

Female sexual desire is not constant — it is influenced by hormones, age, psychological stress, and relationship dynamics.
In this episode, we explain the difference between desire and arousal, explore spontaneous and responsive desire, and highlight the role of accelerators, brakes, and context in shaping libido. We also clarify Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD): its definition, subtypes, and medical and psychological causes.
We discuss the impact of hormones and medications such as antidepressants and birth control pills, along with available natural and medical treatments. Finally, we answer common questions: Do men really have more desire than women? And is there such a thing as a “female Viagra”?

Pain during sex is common — but it is never something to ignore. In this episode, we explore the many faces of sexual pain: superficial, deep, or mixed; primary or acquired; situational or generalized. We discuss the reasons pain may occur the first time you have sex, after childbirth, during perimenopause or menopause, or following surgery or cancer treatment.
We dive into medical causes such as infections, endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic floor dysfunction, adhesions, cysts, irritable bowel syndrome, interstitial cystitis, and even rare conditions like clitoridynia and Tarlov cysts. We also highlight the role of psychological factors, trauma, depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, and relationship conflict.
Our experts explain how doctors diagnose painful sex, the evidence-based treatments available — from hormones and physiotherapy to sex therapy and lifestyle changes — and when pain may signal something more serious, including cancer.
With listener questions, advice for women, guidance for doctors, and hope for recovery, this episode shows that painful sex is not a destiny. It can be treated, intimacy can be rebuilt, and pleasure is possible again.

Vaginismus is one of the most silenced and misunderstood sexual disorders, affecting up to 15% of women in the Arab world. In this episode, we explain what vaginismus really is, how it is diagnosed, and why it is more prevalent in our region.
We explore cultural pressures such as virginity myths, “blood on the wedding night,” and harmful practices like tasfih and FGM. We also clarify the difference between vaginismus and other causes of painful sex, and why “quick fixes” like hymen surgery or alcohol never work.
Evidence-based treatments — including CBT, pelvic floor physiotherapy, and gradual exposure — are discussed, along with real patient stories and success cases. Finally, we answer common questions: Can I get pregnant with vaginismus? Will childbirth cure it? Is it a sign I don’t love my husband?

Infertility affects 1 in 6 couples worldwide, yet in many cultures it remains hidden and stigmatized. In this episode of Mech 3ayb, we explain what infertility really means, why it happens in both women and men, and how it impacts couples emotionally, sexually, and socially. We break down the most common causes — from ovulation disorders and endometriosis to sperm problems and lifestyle factors — and clarify how infertility should be properly evaluated for both partners.
We also debunk persistent myths: that it’s always the woman’s fault, that stress alone is the cause, that masturbation or showering during menstruation reduce fertility, or that IVF causes cancer or premature menopause. Finally, we discuss real treatment options, from simple lifestyle changes to assisted reproductive technologies, and answer the questions couples whisper most.

Postpartum changes affect every woman — physically, emotionally, and sexually. In this episode of Mech 3ayb, we focus on postpartum sexuality: why desire often drops, why sex may be painful, how hormones like estrogen, prolactin, testosterone, and oxytocin shape intimacy, and why many couples struggle with arousal, orgasm, and body image after childbirth.
We also explore the wider postpartum journey: baby blues, postpartum depression, and psychosis; episiotomy and C-section scar care; pelvic floor recovery, diastasis recti, and the importance of guided rehabilitation. We explain why breastfeeding affects hormones and sexuality, but why choosing not to breastfeed does not make anyone a “bad mother.”
Practical advice includes: when and how to resume sex gradually, why “outercourse” can be a helpful step, why breastfeeding alone is not reliable contraception, and how partners also experience hormonal and emotional changes after childbirth. We share guidelines for doctors on supporting women’s physical and sexual health, and answer the questions couples whisper most — from “Should I do the husband stitch?” to “Why don’t I orgasm like before?”
