Low libido refers to a decreased sex drive and interest in sexual activity. Both men and women can experience low libido for a variety of reasons. Some common causes include:
Hormonal changes - Fluctuations in testosterone, estrogen, and other hormones can negatively impact libido. Hormonal birth control and menopause in women are linked to low libido. Testosterone levels also naturally decline with age in men. The experts at Optimum Hormone Solutions offer comprehensive hormone testing and personalized treatment plans to help restore healthy hormonal balance.
Medications - Antidepressants, blood pressure meds, and other prescription or over-the-counter medications can suppress libido as a side effect.
Stress - High stress levels elevate the hormone cortisol and fatigue the body, dampening sexual desire.
Medical conditions - Chronic illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis and cancer can lower sex drive.
Mental health disorders - Conditions like depression and anxiety negatively impact libido.
Relationship issues - Interpersonal problems with an intimate partner can diminish sexual interest and arousal.
Low libido can significantly impact one's quality of life and relational happiness. Thankfully various treatment options exist including lifestyle changes, addressing underlying medical issues, psychotherapy, medications and hormone therapy.
