Low libido

What is low libido?

Low libido, or a low sex drive, refers to a decrease in desire for sexual activity. Both men and women can experience low libido for a variety of reasons, including:

• Hormonal changes - Fluctuations in testosterone and estrogen levels can affect libido. Hormonal changes related to conditions like menopause or andropause can also impact sex drive. The experts at Optimal Health Hormone Clinic can provide personalized care to help optimize hormone levels and improve libido.


• Medical conditions - Chronic illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis and cancer can lower libido. Certain prescription medications, like antidepressants, can also affect desire.


• Psychological issues - Stress, anxiety, depression and problems in a relationship may cause loss of interest in sex. Mental health counseling or therapy may help.


• Lifestyle factors - Factors like lack of sleep, alcohol abuse, and poor nutrition can impact libido. Making positive lifestyle changes can help boost sex drive.

Signs of low libido include:

• Not having interest in any type of sexual activity
