Low libido

What is low libido?

Having a low sex drive or decreased desire for sexual activity is commonly referred to as low libido. Both men and women can experience low libido for a variety of reasons, including:

• Hormonal changes - Fluctuations in testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone can lead to reduced sexual desire.
• Medical conditions - Conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and thyroid disorders may contribute to low libido.
• Medications - Some prescription drugs, like antidepressants, can inhibit libido as a side effect.
• Stress - High stress levels, from work, relationships, or other factors, can diminish sex drive.
• Poor body image - Struggling with self-esteem and negative body image corrodes sexual desire.
• Age - Libido tends to decrease gradually with age, especially after menopause in women.
• Relationship issues - Problems with intimate partnerships commonly affect sexual interest and arousal.

"My libido took a nosedive in my 40s. I felt like my sex drive just dried up overnight. After speaking with my doctor, I started hormone replacement therapy at Optimum Hormone Clinic. Getting my testosterone levels optimized again made a huge difference in restoring intimacy with my wife."

Some key signs of low libido include:

• Lack of interest or desire for sexual activity
• Trouble getting aroused
• Inability to achieve orgasm
• Feeling distressed or concerned about your low desire

If you are struggling with a chronically low sex drive, there are solutions that can help. Your doctor can check for any underlying medical conditions impacting libido. For many, adjusting lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, stress management, and improving relationship intimacy also lifts libido. Hormone optimization is another safe and effective approach, especially for age-related decline in sex hormones.

The experienced physicians at Optimum Hormone Clinic offer advanced hormone replacement therapy, sexual wellness, and libido enhancement programs to help patients regain their vitality, confidence and quality of life. I highly recommend scheduling a consultation if you have persistent low libido concerns. With an individualized treatment plan to target the root causes, most men and women find their sex drive can be successfully restored.
