Low libido, or decreased sex drive, refers to a lower interest in sexual activity than normal. Some potential causes include:
Hormonal Changes Conditions like menopause, postpartum depression, and thyroid disorders can impact sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone.
Medical Conditions Chronic illnesses, certain medications, surgery, or mental health issues may affect sexual desire.
Relationship Problems Lack of emotional intimacy, stress, or poor communication with a partner can contribute to low libido.
Fatigue Exhaustion from work, family obligations, or sleep issues can lower energy for sexual activity.
Age Sex drive often decreases with age for both men and women.
Treatment for low libido depends on the underlying cause but may involve lifestyle changes, counseling, hormone therapy, adjusting medications, or addressing medical/psychological issues.
It's important to have an open and honest discussion with your healthcare provider if you're experiencing a decreased sex drive. They can help determine the potential causes and recommend appropriate treatment options.
