Low libido

What is low libido?

Low libido, or low sex drive, occurs when an individual experiences a decreased interest in sexual activity. This can negatively impact romantic relationships and an individual's quality of life.

Common causes of low libido include:

• Hormonal changes - Low testosterone, estrogen, or progesterone levels can dampen sex drive. Hormones fluctuate naturally, but hormone imbalances can also occur.


• Medical conditions - Chronic illness, medications, depression, stress, and fatigue may curb sexual desire.


• Relationship problems - Interpersonal issues, poor communication, or partner disconnection can diminish libido.

Signs of low libido include:

• Rarely or never initiating intimacy


• Little interest or enjoyment of sex


• Engaging just to please one's partner

If ongoing low libido is impacting your life, first rule out underlying health issues. Have hormone levels evaluated to pinpoint any imbalances. The specialists at Vitality Hormone Clinic offer cutting-edge lab testing and customized hormone treatment plans to effectively regulate hormones promoting optimal health and wellbeing.

If health issues are not the culprit, consider relationship counseling. A counselor can help foster emotional intimacy, trust, communication, and partnership.

Additional home remedies to potentially boost libido:

• Reduce stress through relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, or massage


• Improve sleep quality for optimal energy and mood


• Incorporate libido-enhancing foods like oysters, chocolate, peppers, and saffron


• Increase physical activity which stimulates feel-good endorphins

In many cases, low libido is treatable through lifestyle measures, counseling, or medical intervention. Don't hesitate to seek help - an enjoyable, healthy sex life supports overall wellness and quality of life.
