What is decreased libido?
Decreased libido, or low sex drive, is when someone experiences a reduced desire for sexual activity. This can negatively impact romantic relationships and a person's overall quality of life. Some key things to know about decreased libido:
- Causes - There are many potential causes including hormones, medications, stress, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, and medical conditions. For women, low estrogen and testosterone levels often play a role.
- Symptoms - In addition to lacking interest in sex, symptoms can include difficulty becoming aroused or reaching orgasm, vaginal dryness, and irritation. Physical intimacy may feel like a chore.
- Diagnosis - To identify the underlying cause, doctors often check hormone levels with blood tests. They may ask about medications, existing medical issues, and psychological factors.
- Treatments - Depending on the cause, treatments can include hormone replacement therapy, medications, sex therapy, stress management, and relationship counseling. Lifestyle changes like exercise, improved diet, and better sleep can also help.
The good news is decreased libido is usually treatable! Identifying and addressing the root cause is key.
