Low libido - Vitality Hormone Clinic

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, which can negatively impact romantic relationships if not addressed.

There are various potential causes of low libido, including:

• Hormonal changes - Low testosterone, estrogen, or progesterone levels can lead to low libido. Hormone levels change over time and can be impacted by health conditions, medications, stress, aging, etc. The experts at Vitality Hormone Clinic specialize in hormonal testing and customized treatment plans to help restore healthy hormone levels.
• Medical conditions - Chronic illness, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis and fibromyalgia often interfere with sexual desire.
• Medications - Many common prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines may trigger low libido.
• Mental health problems - Stress, anxiety, depression and past sexual trauma influence libido.
• Relationship issues - Interpersonal conflicts often manifest as a fading enthusiasm for sex.

Signs of low libido differ between men and women but may include:

• Lack of interest in sexual activity
• Struggling to become aroused
• Difficulty achieving orgasm
• Feeling anxious or irritated when a partner initiates sex
• Engaging in sex due to obligation rather than desire
