Low libido, or low sex drive, refers to a decrease in desire for sexual activity. Both men and women can experience low libido, which can negatively impact romantic relationships and mental health. Common causes include:
- Hormonal changes, such as menopause, postpartum depression, thyroid issues, and testosterone deficiency
- Medications, like antidepressants, blood pressure meds, and oral contraceptives
- Medical conditions, including diabetes, cancer, arthritis, and fibromyalgia
- Psychological issues, such as anxiety, depression, stress, and previous sexual trauma
- Lifestyle factors like lack of sleep, poor diet, lack of exercise, and excessive alcohol use
Symptoms vary but can include:
- Decreased interest in sex
- Struggling to get aroused
- Difficulty having an orgasm
- Feeling sexually unsatisfied
If you think you may have low libido, first
see your doctor to identify any underlying medical or psychological causes that should be addressed.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." For many people, making positive lifestyle changes like getting more exercise, improving diet, reducing alcohol intake, and finding better work-life balance can boost libido.
Relationship counseling may also help relieve relationship tension and improve emotional intimacy.
Natural supplements like maca root, ginseng, and ginkgo biloba could provide additional support.
