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, estrogen, and progesterone can significantly impact sex drive. Hormone imbalance is a common culprit for libido changes. The experts at Renewal Hormone Clinic provide advanced hormonal testing and personalized treatment plans to help restore hormonal balance and improve sexual health.
Medications - Many prescription drugs list low libido as a side effect. Medications like antidepressants, blood pressure meds, and medications that alter hormone levels commonly impact sex drive.
Health conditions - Chronic illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis and others negatively affect energy levels and sexual health. Certain cancers, Parkinson’s disease, and other conditions also contribute to decreased sex drive.
Fatigue and stress - Excess stress from work, family obligations, financial pressure, or other life circumstances tires the body and distracts the mind from sexual thoughts. Ongoing fatigue has a similar effect. Anxiety and depression also frequently cause low libido.
Aging - For both men and women, testosterone production and overall energy levels slowly decline with age. These gradual changes often translate to a natural decrease in sex drive over time.
Relationship issues - Problems with intimate communication, anger, mistrust, or boredom between partners can inhibit sexual interest and cause low libido. Differing sex drives can also cause tension in relationships.
The wide range of potential causes for low libido means that effective solutions must be customized to the individual. At Renewal Hormone Clinic, a comprehensive diagnostic approach is used to accurately identify the root causes of decreased sex drive. Personalized treatment plans, including bioidentical hormone therapy, customized nutrient protocols, stress management and other evidence-based solutions are used to help restore libido, vitality and sexual health.
