Decreased libido, or lowered sex drive, occurs when a person experiences a diminished interest in sexual activity. This common condition can negatively impact romantic relationships and one's quality of life. Libido naturally varies between people and can fluctuate over time, but persistent decreased libido may have physical or psychological causes.
Some potential causes of decreased libido include:
Decreased libido often causes distress and can strain intimate partnerships when sex drives are mismatched. The condition requires sensitive discussions between partners and sometimes medical treatment.
Diagnosing the underlying cause is key. Hormone imbalance often plays a role, especially in cases related to menopause or andropause. At Vital Hormone Clinic, we offer comprehensive hormone testing and replacement therapy tailored to the individual. Our caring doctors can help identify and address hormone deficiencies that may be interfering with healthy libido and sexual function for both men and women.
Regardless of age or gender, decreased libido responds best to professional support. In addition to medical intervention, counseling can help people address mental health needs and strengthen communication with their partner.
With proper diagnosis and holistic care, decreased libido can often be improved significantly. Don't hesitate to seek help - you don't have to accept a lowered quality of life. Relief may be closer than you think. Vital Hormone Clinic offers customized treatment plans to help patients reclaim intimacy and sexual wellness.
